aquafits

after work i came home and made some grilled cheese sandwiches with my onion jam that biff gave me for christmas.  changed into my swimming gear, grabbed my stuff and the sandwiches and brought everything downstairs. we ate the sandwiches with my special bean salad. not too shabby. 

then i helped mom do some things on her phone just by being beside her while she did them. sometimes that's all that's needed.

off to aquafit. it was crazy in the parking lot. i may have done something bad when i parked. no one needs to know. shhhh. don't tell.

before class started i was in the pool with a few other early birds. people chat and start moving, jogging on the spot, swishing this way and that-- you get the picture. I was doing some swishes on my own when this lady made eye contact with me, did a small smile and said "you're so beautiful." what the.. first the deli counter girl now the pool lady. strangers are really hyping me up these days!

this was my first time using my new swim bottoms and they were a disappointment. at least for aquafit. i like to tuck my top into the bottoms so it doesn't float up revealing my belly while i'm doing all the aquafit actions. but these were too low and either my top floated free or the bottoms wouldn't hold me all in. i had to constantly adjust which was annoying. and it stopped me from being as vigorous as i could be.

still it was fun to be back at the pool. same old instructor. same songs and same moves. she's ok, but not my favourite one. i like the energetic animated lady. she keeps us guessing.

afterwards i was fool hardy and stayed in the cold plunge pool for 29 minutes. what am i trying to prove? i didn't think it affected me at first but later at home i couldn't warm up for a while. i had to have a mint tea. and put on sweaters and slippers and things. 

and now i'm real tired. bye.
