Week 12...

Still doing weights/exercise bike 3 times a week.

Had to increase more slowly than I did when I was in my 40's...funny how that works, right?

Got a lap swim pass to our local pool, so for the summer, I'm swimming laps for about 45-50 minutes most days of the week. Yeah, about half of it is with a kickboard, but I'm moving in a way I enjoy, so that's something.

I think I have made it a habit now. Probably.

I have taken two weeks off, one for a camping trip, one for a virus.

But, I went back right away. Still swimming nearly every day, missed swimming yesterday, because I got a second swimsuit and got sunburned on my back. So, today, I'll be back to it, but with sunscreen and a swim shirt this time!
