Embarrassed but still smoke free!
26 days and feeling good. I have had some embarrassing moments through this no smoking journey one of them just last night. I have been feeling restless and trying to keep busy and for some silly reason decided some laps at the local indoor pool would be a good idea. It was after work, 12 degrees, all I wanted to do was put my slippers on but No- I made myself go. Now bathers are not usually the most flattering garments, the hug and creep up your backside but head high I made my way past the Mums and Dads watching their kids lessons to the lane for slow swimmers. A bit of info here- I am a slow swimmer unless I use flippers, I just seem to not move much through the water without them.
So here I am in the edge of pool and I'm trying to put my flippers on. I bent one way, flipped my legs backwards, knee up across my body - But no the suckers just wouldn't go over my feet! I was struggling to bend my body in a lady like way to get them on and in the end I was rolling around like a beached whale! Omg embarrassing! I shudder to think what sight I made. Anyhoo, I slink into the water embarrassed to look around or make eye contact with anyone and reach up to my head to put my goggles on .... And they are not there!. I left them in the change room!! ... Well I can tell you I was not going through that flipper debacle again so I swam laps with my eye balls burning!! My tip for the day PUT YOUR FLIPPERS ON AFTER YOU'RE IN THE POOL!
But seriously the exercise felt amazing ( except to my eyes) and this helps me get past the dwindling hours. Get out and walk or swim, ride a bike.. Next week I start boxing- God knows how I will embarrass myself there..

How good is that. You are soooo awesome to go swimming. The boxing should be easy - if you got those flippers on you can do anything. 27 days is amazing. I hope you are very proud of yourself because everyone on this site is.
