I feel your pain on this one. A lot of those weight machines seem easy enough while you are doing them and then later you get home and feel totally shredded. I always have to pace myself at the start of a program until I get a feel for the right routine.

I heart swimming absolutely, though. It's a sport where you don't sweat, and it's nearly impossible to hurt yourself beyond banging your head on the side of the pool if you misjudge the difference. And big girls like us actually get some advantage from all our floatiness for a change. Plus I just feel more graceful in the water, and when it's all over, I feel super clean.

And my bonus for going back to the Y? Now that I'm entering week two of no bathtub, I am digging the unlimited hot showers there more than ever.
