Was it a Good Day or a Bad Day?
I am honestly not sure. You see I have Adult ADD, and was on a cocktail of medications to control the symptoms. The hardest one to get off of has been Lexapro, an SSRI, anti-depressent. I am still getting withdrawl symptoms, that are effecting my ability to train. I have been pushing through, but just couldn’t do it today. Bad right?
Well, I did go to the gym, it’s actually a "health club" with a spa, tennis, racquet ball, and 2 pools. I went today, becuase I had scheduled a swim lesson. You see, I didn’t learn how to swim as a child, and I decided this was going to be the first summer, where I could just hang at the pool without those stupid arm floaties.
Do you know how emberassing it is to go to the beach in a pin-up bikini and have to wear floaties?????!!!
Anyway, today was my second lesson. Today, I learned to swim. It wasn’t really that hard, to tell you the truth. I have a good instructor, I guess. People were pretty surprised it was my second lesson. Now mind you, I can’t kick, breath, and move my arms at the same time yet, but I can move in the water, which I am told is swimming.
I did a whole lap!
So was it a good day, I guess. A good day, tarnished a bit by a missed workout. But I am pretty hard on myself…..
Night,

But you went swimming! I can’t swim either and wanted to learn this summer but .. yeah .. I’ll wait on that. Thats awesome - you learned really quickly
And hey pin up bikini and floaties could be cute
Nevertheless good job
I feel you on the meds.. Last year I survived a tragedy close to home and as a result I had to be put on a cocktail too..then I abruptly stopped .. don’t know why I did that
Im much better these days but the side effects are a b!tch so trust me.. I understand
You ARE hard on yourself. You look great - your pics told be so
Enjoy your good days - don’t skimp on ‘em
