Rollin' down the track...ain't never gonna look back.

Today was a most remarkable one.  We finished getting all of the carpet out of the living room, leaving behind a not-too-shabby-looking wood floor.  It's a wonderful feeling!!

Then, went to the pool this a.m.  Haven't been in months and months.  I had to really push myself.  Of course, I always find it easier when I pray daily for God's help in making all these changes and then all of a sudden (well, not a miracle or anything!) one day I CAN do what I've not been able to push myself to do for days and months.  :)

At the pool, I connected up with a woman I used to work with who is going to the very classes in the pool that I've been shy about going to -- so I'm going starting this Tuesday!!  I also met a woman who has lost over 100 pounds by swimming in the pool daily.  It's seems the pool was "stocked" with inspirational people today!  Even the lifeguards were carrying on and having a great time with everyone.  I worked for about an hour and did lots of different exercises to stretch and also some cardio.  I even took my friend's challenge to pull myself up out of the pool onto the side -- like a dolphin does at a show -- and I did it!  Not too shabby for being very out of shape!  I thoroughly enjoyed myself today. 

What joys will tomorrow bring!!??

The carpet is leaving the building....

Tuesday is the day set to take the living room carpet up!  I'm very excited that can't wait!  We may even get to the dining room carpet.  In the meantime, I am straightening and re-arranging and collecting stuff for Good Will and for yard sales.  I feel a great sense of power and promise.
