    Have a great weekend ladies!!! Keep up the great work and don't forget to drink your water!!
  • Well, I just posted on Joy's June weigh-in thread because I'm not gonna make goal there, either. (Dangit, I'm gonna soo miss getting those red stars!) Dealing with RA has flattened me this month, and even though I LOVE swimming and it's so good for me, I'm just not managing my time well. The warm water exercise times were narrowed down to only one hour in summer, and with arriving late to work most days, I haven't made the additional effort to get away at noon. (dja like how I DIDN'T say "I didn't have the time"?)

    Soon, I will pick myself up and get on with what I need to do. (I should pretend that today is July 1, as I am one of those people who is motivated by the turn of a calendar page.....New Day and all...)
  • June Goal: 600 minutes

    June 8: 30 min. swimming 30/600

    Haven't checked in here for a while. I haven't had anything to report, although I think I'm doing better with the exercise this month than I was doing last month. I'm going to try to pick up the pace this week.

    Hey, I got some exercise in this evening after all! Have a nice day tomorrow!
  • iDream: I fixed my knee problems with lunges by using a chair for balance. I wasn't aware of a balance problem, but it made all the difference. After awhile, I was able to do them without a chair and without pain.

    JenDestiny: ouch! Hope you heal quickly!

    SeeMyFeet: today is the first day of summer! That's a good New Day to start things. I like your model of how to not say "I didn't have time" -- I have to work at that, too. I usually say "I didn't make it a priority" but your "haven't made the additional effort" is probably more honest and might actually motivate action.

    I'm still struggling to get in enough minutes between rain, heat, and meetings. Let's say, I haven't made the additional effort to make something work on all of those days -- but I have on some, so I know what to do. I'll build on that knowledge this week.
