So Much To Do

I really want to get back to swimming soon (probably on Friday unless my Gran invites me to lunch or something), so today I went out and looked through some chairty shops (well, the ones that were open on Sunday anyway). And I actually managed to find 2 suits that were black, weren't made with a larger chest in mind, and didn't have a hole in the back that went all the way down to the backside. I've got so many other things to do, though. I need to keep playing through these games so I have enough time to get to the ones I will enjoy more when there's no one else in the house, I need to do a drawing ready for Tuesday because I don't have enough time during my breaks at work training anymore, and there's still quiz shows to watch tomorrow night. Oh, if only I didn't need to sleep.

Suit For Swimming

I haven't been swimming since last month, so I really wanted to go today. It was good, but I think I need a new suit. Recently I've been doing loads of walking, mainly because I end up being early on my way to work training because I get the early bus in case the bus at a more suitable time ends up being delayed. And I've also made changes to my diet to see if it would help the problems with my... female side. So I've lost some weight, or at least enough for there to be a noticeable difference in my clothes. Which means the suit I wear for swimming is quite loose on me now. It's not just the weight loss - I've had it for years and it's probably ended up getting stretched out over time. But it feels like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. And it doesn't help that the cheat area is desined for someone with larger breasts than mine. Seriously, I have barely anything there. So I think I'll need to get a new one soon. But where do I get one from? 

Easier Water

I decided to go swimming today and it was much better than it was on Sunday. Less people there, easier to move through the water... It was a better workout for me, and I was surprised at how I found myself moving my hands in a certain way when swimming on my back in order to try and propel myself more, I felt like some kind of sea creature. Not sure which one, though. Whichever ones swim backwards? 

The Pool Was Busy

I finally got round to going for a swim today. And maybe Sunday isn't the best day for it, but I don't have much other choice. I could do Fridays, but I'd have to either change to another day whenever I have lunch with my Gran, or go later in the day. I guess that could work. The reason is because it was busier than the other times I've been, there were more parents and children there, and it's hard to go without getting into people's ways, especially when I swim on my back. It also feels to me like the more people there are in the water, the harder it is to move through.
