Of course I'm just sitting here, bored still waiting (and thinking) for any urge to do anything to pass.<br /><br />I would jump in so fast. But i was told by the lymphedema folks that if I were to go to the Grey panther sharing pool, I'd be considering a very hot item.BleechLevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-66319772916053253702011-07-20T16:53:14.435-05:002011-07-20T16:53:14.435-05:00So glad you are enjoying the swimming Shelley - th...So glad you are enjoying the swimming Shelley - that really makes me happy for you!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-73139883326310520522011-07-20T16:27:48.154-05:002011-07-20T16:27:48.154-05:00You are totally making me regret quitting my too e...You are totally making me regret quitting my too expensive gym, because they had a great pool.

I know you have been swimming for awhile now and it looks like it is paying off in lost weight. The truths you revealed were great and very helpful.<br /><br />Shelley, by the way I wanted to let you know that I am linking to your site “My Journey To Fit” on my “Totally Weight Loss” site under Blogroll and have been for some time. You have an excellent site and I would be honored if you would consider linking to my site as well in your "My Blog List.".<br /><br />My site, which is called “Easy Weight Loss”, is located at <br /><br />http://totallyweightloss.com.<br /><br />Thanks for your consideration,<br /><br />LarryLarry Romeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845001067634292126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-33223592513398607302011-07-20T12:02:23.263-05:002011-07-20T12:02:23.263-05:00You are a floating fashion plate in that coordinat...You are a floating fashion plate in that coordinated outfit.

I have to wear a noseplug if I put my face in the water, and that kind of takes the meditative aspect of swimming away, so I avoid it. And I've been wanting to know the 'right' way to use the kickboard. Thanks for permission to do it any old way!<br /><br />The swim cap--never thought about it keeping the water out of my ears. <br /><br />And you know I already followed your advice about the polyester swimsuit.<br /><br />Now I just have to find some goggles to steel, and I'll be "Shelley-ready" for the pool.<br /><br />Seriously, its been really fun getting back in the pool this year, and that is largely due to watching your transformation from landlover to pool babe!debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-83827385105395987362011-07-20T08:04:57.387-05:002011-07-20T08:04:57.387-05:00As you know, I wish I could swim.

They want me to limit my workouts in the heat and, as you know, that means I can't go outside until mid-November. So the indoor pool at 24 hour may be IT.
