This morning, I am buying a new bathing suit. Not a stylish, suck your fat in bathing suit, but a... racing suit.

We belong to a beautiful gym. I've hardly set foot in there for anything other then Jack's swimming lessons. Since I broke my foot, wearing sneakers hurts my foot. Of course, I've used that as an excuse not to work out. But swimming, doesn't require shoes. There once was a time that I was a really good swimmer. I had a great looking back and shoulders from the butterfly. Let's just say that I nearly had a pass-out moment in Nordstrom trying on bras the other day. How exactly does one get flab on one's back?

So, I'm going back to my roots. Swimming.

Good for you. Swimming is a great workout. You'll have those toned arms again soon

That's great! I need to utilize my pool, that is great exercise. All I do is float . . .

Good for you, Carrie!

Good for you! I've been swimming twice a week and I really like it now - just be prepared to feel very awkward at first - it probably took me a good 3-4 weeks to start feeling like I knew what I was doing again.

Good for you Carrie! And I agree, where does that flab come from!?!?! LOL It just showed up one day for me.

Good for you! Balance ball is great for back flab too and doesn't require tennis shoes. I have been doing lots of that (well, not LOTS but a few times a week) and even my elliptical barefoot (found that my feet got numb with my tennis shoes on but are fine without shoes).

Yay, Carrie! I am a horrible swimmer, so I am envious of those who are good at it! You will feel like a new woman in a short amount of time!

Bye bye back fat!

That sounds like so much fun! It always helps to really enjoy the workout, and it sounds like you really love(d) to swim!

I hope you find the perfect suit for swimming. Admittedly, I'm jealous. I miss swimming laps. I hope your foot feels great in the water.
