We joined the Aquatic Center tonight. We’re going to cut out one takeout meal per week to be able to cover the cost, and we had so much fun! We got a complimentary training session and Kent was very nice and knowledgeable. I am ALREADY loving the gym. But my arms DEFINITELY feel like Jello!!

I leave for my trip to Jacksonville on Wednesday. I’m nervous about getting there by myself, but I’m also excited because I feel like it’s something that I need to do. And I won’t be totally alone because my coworker and friend Elizabeth is going too. I just have to fly the first leg by myself.

I’m definitely going to incorporate swimming into my routine. The pool looked so inviting tonight when we walked by after doing our routine in the weight room. Honestly, there weren’t all that many people in the pool, either, so it looked like I would be able to get a lane. I joined this awesome website; registration is free and they personalize a workout for you so that you can begin a swimming program. I’ll probably start that Saturday since I’ll be gone until Friday. The hotel we’re staying at does have a pool, though, so if it’s warm enough still, I may try to do a little swimming there.

The shawl is still coming along. Our knitting group meets tomorrow night, so that will be fun. I took some pictures tonight, but they turned out very poorly because of the lighting in the living room and the deep red color of the shawl. I’ll try to take it to work tomorrow and get some pictures there where there must be some better lighting.

Oh, what a day.
