Loving this...or at least getting to love this

I feel like I am slipping lately, and I am getting extremely frustrated with myself.  That is something I am trying to work on, so forgive me for complaining a bit.  I just wish I had more self-control.  Sugar; you are too good but so bad.

But I did not get on here to complain, I wanted to talk about one of my new favorite workouts; swimming!  Crazy right? Especially coming from me.  I only went to that first swimming clinic, and I feel like a lightbulb went on for me.  I am in no means good, but better.  Greg and I are trying to go swimming once a week together, which is so fun because it is almost like a date for us.  I have been having a lot of knee problems, and this is a great way to stretch out and I always feel so much better afterwards.

Swimming is a great workout!  Here are some of the benefits of swimming:

-Total body workout! You use almost every part of your body, which helps to build a leaner, meaner body.

-Low risk of injury.  This is huge for me because bad knees run in my family, and this is a great exercise for me to help me "save" my knees. Swimming is totally low to no impact.

-Improved blood pressure

-Relieves stress.  This is one of the biggest things that I have noticed about swimming and actually exercising in general.  It relieves all my built up stress, and I just feel so good when I am done!

So get out there and swim!!
