Friday
I've been finding exercise is becoming less and less part of my daily routine. So as my title said yesterday that I was back into it, I meant exercise as well as tracking my food. Last night I went back to aqua - as I left home I told Peter I may be back in a few minutes. On the way into town on at least three occasions I almost turned around and went back home,- why?
Aqua was in the out door pool
Rain was threatening
It was around 12 degrees - cold!!
It was windy!
I was cold.
But I kept driving, braved the elements and found myself outside the pool. I thought as I walked outside that it must be cancelled, no-one would turn up in this weather. But there was one other brave woman and the instructor. Believe it or not - the water was beautifully warm, (far warmer than the indoor pool) the wind died down, the rain didn't eventuate - it was lovely. The hard part was getting out of the water at the end of the class, back into the cold air! I'm going back tonight. I feel like I'm back in control once more.
Not much planned this weekend. It is our wedding anniversary, but rather than buy presents or go out we bought the BBQ (still waiting for it).

Happy Anniversary for this weekend. You will get many enjoyable BBQ's off your new Barby (when it arrives).
Excellent effort with getting back to aqua, I have also been thinking about it for a couple of weeks now.....LOL. We also have an outdoor pool around the corner from work that only opens from mid Nov to mid March and I use to love going after work to swim laps.....think I'll get back into that.
Have a lovely weekend.
Sounds like a wonderful hotel that your son works for. I wonder if our son will stay there when he works in Nelson next March??? possibly not!
Anne.....have a lovely weekend for your anniversary. Will be back blogging when we get back from Taupo. Well done on the aqua. I need some motivation at the moment but guess sometimes life does get in the way!!!! Cheers :)
HA! I think you might be swimming in the rain today mate! See you tomorrow?

Good on ya Anne, the effort will be worth it!!
Happy anniversary.......
Happy Anniversary have a great weekend. Good for you following through with your exercise.
Well done Anne!! That was huge! I used to find that when I joined the gym. As long as I could get myself in the car and just drive myself there, by the time I got my gym gear on it wasn't so bad. But swimming outside with storm looming .. that takes commitment!! Well done!
Happy Anniversary! New BBQ sounds great. Sorry to hear it will take longer than expected to arrive. It will be worth the wait though.
When I used to do aqua in winter before I turned into a woose(?) I used to take my terry towelling dressing gown to put on a soon as I got out - cut down the exposure to the cold.
