We've been to the YMCA 3 times now and not once have I used the equipment rooms. We've been swimming each time. I'm hoping that about Thursday, when Clayton will be able to go again, that I can get on a treadmill for a little while. I'm still having some cramping type pain that's causing me to limp a little, but I want to test it out and run for a bit. Or, I may go in the morning and leave the kids in Child Watch for a bit. Just depends how much work I end up having. I enjoyed taking the kids by myself tonight...at least I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Andrew seems to be teaching himself how to swim. He decided to ditch the belt tonight and just use the kickboard. He ditched that also and wanted to see if he could just make it to the ladder and was able to doggy paddle there. After that, he kept trying to go farther and farther. He really surprised me with how far he was able to doggy paddle from one place to another. Of course, Kristin wanted to try without the belt and wasn't able to do anything. Planning on swim lessons for both of them at some point this summer.
I'm excited that my weight loss has picked up again. I am currently down 22.7 pounds. Swimming helps. I'm sure the 10K helped, too. Also, I just seem to be making better choices without having to think too hard about it. Speaking of choices, I could use a glass of chocolate milk right about now. I'm hungry and that will help keep me from eating. So would going to sleep. I'm tired, but not really sleepy, so I will probably be up for a little longer.
Today was the first *official* day of summer break. Yesterday didn't count because it was a holiday. The kids were good and didn't argue today. Of course, I threatened them with having to clean their rooms if they did argue. They spent time outside and when it got too hot, they came in and watched Netflix. After supper we headed to the Y. All in all, it was a good day. Praying the rest of the summer is as good.
