DO YOU LIKE the duck picture? That is supposed to be me in a swimming pool. Do you know that I was forced into weekly swimming lessons by my Mum aged six. I hated them so much I spent entire sessions in tears. So I must like swimming to even be considering it now. Swimming is the only sport I genuinely love. I'm still looking for swimming trunks I know I've got. One pair is baggy, the other is 1910 style, kind of like cycling shorts. I'm too tubby for the close-fitting ones. They only work when you're doing the swimming strictly as recreation, which I'm not. I'm swimming for thinning. The major reason for doing it is in order to be Calm and Stress-Free. I get very stressed very easily. And I don't think it is "anxiety" as such, it's more Stress than Anxiety. I don't have the cognitive style anxious people have, turning things over and over in their heads. I tend not to think about things, or to think about them so distantly they're vaguely real. But I've heard sports are like a drug. And being as I'm hell-bent on leaving a life of drugs Behind Me I need any new drug I can try. I have to wait till next week when the DSS deign to pay me. This getting money every 2 weeks instead of weekly thing they want us to do is not working for me. It means I keep running out of money now and I don't have the £5 spare swimming requires. And I'm not feeling fit enough (yet) to walk four miles there and back. Which I will do when I get on a roll. Keeps you even fitter walking an hour and a bit there and back!And how was your day?!

hi ducky,
I know, this fortnightly pay takes some adjusting to, I cant stretch it. I know its the same amount and logically I should be able to keep half for the 2nd week, it just never seems to happen.
yes i have thought about subbies again but i still used on top when on 24mg a day. I don't know what would get me to stop my nightly "reward". I suppose I don't think it enough of a problem to stop. I am on "take home" meth now and i am reducing. As u say, it wouldn't take much for it all to go wrong and I dont wanna be going from 70ml to 0ml overnight . . .Ouch.
I spent today being extremely lazy to "recover" from the physical and emotional exhaustion of 6 hrs on trains, buses and taxis + 3 hours in prison yesterday for Hamper G to see her dad. It was worth it but extremely tiring. So we had a day off today, watched c beebies, pestered the furry swines, and stayed in our jarnies. bliss.
Mad asda day tomorrow, I need to write a list and go to sleep. See what dreams my mind can conjure tonight . .
its good u looking forwrd to swimming.
with love

Here we can a prescription from the doctor for 'exercise on referral' for three months which means you have full use of leisure facilities i.e. swimming, gym, exercise classes free. Check with your doctor if it is on offer in your area. If you can't get that you should still be able to get free or reduced rate swimming if you're on benefits -check it out.
I used to like swimming, years ago. Oddly enough, I was born and raised almost next door to the Kennedy family and took swimming lessons with Caroline and John Jr. LOL. I didn't like either one of them.
Now, my exercise is running up and down stairs after the three grandchildren, doing laundry, running the hoover...the usual things.
I have thought about perhaps walking. but, having lung disease, I just don't know if I can hang. LOL. Still, exercise is exercise isn't it? No one says I have to marathon walk, or fast walk, or even long walk. I can just decide to saunter along, looking at spring flowers and the odd dog or whatever. I like watching weird people, but that would involve actually driving somewhere and sitting, I don't think I want to do that. LOL
I'm glad I inspried you to go swimming. It is very relaxing. I did my water aerobics lastnight, and afterwards I was feeling great. Plus you don't even notice your sweating in the water.
I lived through my Oxy experince. I used forty mgs and now I'm not going to use again until forty eight hours from when I put the rig in my hand. I got so high I itched till I bled. For some reason when I get high I itch really badly. I think most people do.
I don't even want to use again today. I was so out of it yesterday that it was sorta disgusting. I couldn't care for myself. Plus I vomited like 10 times.
I don't think I'm going to share this on my blog. My family reads it, and I don't want them to know I used again.
Hope you have fun swimming.

Swimming is fun, but I am currently too vain to be seen in a damn swimsuit. Not too vain to lose the weight, though, mind you.
Love you!
ditto sb.
I wont buy another swim suit, I want to fit in my pre-drought one, and probably wont until i have done some swimming first!
Swimming was the only sport i enjoyed and was good at in school. I hated the atmosphere at the baths, i felt i couldn't breathe,the noise was weird, screams amplfied, i imagined endless horrors that could happen(anxious child)but i swam well.could never dive, it felt wrong, just could not do it, could u?
Swimming is the best exercise you can do. Go for it!
They're not "budgie smugglers"... well I don't think so. Never looked. They're not Speedos Baino. Anyway I'm wearing baggy ones except I think I may be too fat for the baggy ones. They're gonna look tight o this is so out of hand it's unreal...!
I'M GOING SWIMMING EITHER MONDAY OR TUESDAY ~ DEPENDS WHEN THE MONEY COMES!
