Last day of swim class!!!


Well yesterday was the last day of swim class, HALLELUJAH!!!!! I am quite exhausted to say the least. Sydney didnt make it thru the class, I pulled her out after the first week since she was taking WAAAY to long to 'catch on' & was tying up the teacher too long with her trying to coax Syd into the water day after day (after day). In the beginning she was very nonchalant about being pulled from class & gave a 'whatever' attitude when I announced that she was not going back, but neither one of us were prepared for the [mini] 'fanfare' that they get on the last day. All parents were allowed in & they taking pics while the kids showed their stuff. I suspect she was a little jealous but kept her cool very well. My Jack Jack did SOO good. Yes he was nervous but he rocked the house! He did a cannon ball, showed his 'backstroke' & did his 5 'bobs' all by himself! I am still gleaming. Whew!
Now to switch subjects. I have been working out with personal trainer assist for 3 weeks now. I have joined a great gym & I am determined. I am now up to doing pull ups (yay!) & am seeing such results. The results are not just physical but I am noticing discipline as well. I am getting up much earlier that I used to (I still dont like it but I am doing it), eating much better & per a co-workers suggestion, I am considering taking up running, a sport which I used to hate. I feel like the exercise Im doing is never enough (even though I am doing exactly what Im told) so Im trying this to see if it is something I may like... we'll see. Maybe another thing to get involved with.
