WATER DAY 4 & GETTING MOVING DAY 2

Wow... What a day! Today definitely presented some challenges for the getting moving part of my day. Yesterday was easier because I was at the gym earlier in the day. Today when I went to the gym I understood why people decide to go to "all female" gyms. I got into the swimming area and there were several old men just sitting around. I felt like I walked into the guys locker room by accident. I couldn't bear to walk over to the pool... so I jumped right into the hot tub! This older man started talking to me and all I know is that the hot tub is no place to talk to a strange man. LOL First of all it seemed like an intrusion and then he started telling me about his life. He is a 67 year old happily retired man from Georgia. He is a God fearing man and his advice for me, "If it doesn't have God in it, then don't do it!"

So after 45 minutes passed and me still listening to a lovely story I realized that I was not only turning into a prune but I was cold from just holding on to the edge of the pool and kicking my feet. (Yes, by this time I had to get out of the hot tub and into the pool because I would have passed out... and Yes... he followed me to continue his story). After saying goodbye I then had to push myself to spend another hour in the pool lifting water weights, swimming laps, bicycling through the pool on a noodle, and doing the human helicopter (don't ask!).

On drinking water! We are still going strong! I thought I would punch someone out for a cup of orange pop yesterday--but I didn't... so all is good!

Today I am... tired but happy to have finished "getting moving" today!
