Intention: To be able to swim well enough to use lap swimming as part of my exercise routine..and to still the voices in my head.
Result: 2nd intention acheived, 1st intention, I'm getting closer.
What else can I say about it?
I have a running joke with my instructor. If I have an easy day at work, I am a disaster in the pool. If I have a stressful day at work, I am excellent in the pool. Today I had stress: it was my first day teaching the stroller workout, meetings to talk about issues that are frustrating, a list of phone calls to make. And I was briliant in the pool. I only stopped in the middle twice. I was sort of able to take the cues that Ericca gave me. However, what I truly belived influenced my lesson the most, was the invincible feeling that I got from the day before. Self confidence is sometimes as elusive as motivation. I find motivation to be like a heavy boulder. It's a challenge to get it rolling, but once you set it in motion it is easy to keep it going. I hope that my self confidence operates the same way.
Are you new to swimming? Being able to have lessons can make a world of difference in getting through a workout (my husband never had lessons so he comes out of a lap workout completely exhausted because his technique is so bad). I'm so impressed with this project! I love following along with you! Good luck, and keep your fun blog going!
