Gaining even more confidence (day 80)

Key Stats: All BG's normal. 4 shakes 1 bar no off eating. 30 minutes in the pool and a bike ride to the park for a picnic.

I got back in the pool today for the first time in over a week. It felt great. First- my spandex suit fits really well over my waist. The last time I wore it it didn't fit as well as it should but it did today. I am shrinking. Second I was able to crank out a 500 meter ladder again today- and it didn't kill me nearly as much as it did the last time I did it.

Going for the bike ride with my family for a dinner picnic was another thing I have gained since starting this journey. We got my wife a new bike so that she doesn't have to ride her hold unsafe bike any more. I think she really likes it, and I really picked it out for her. So that makes me feel good. Plus it makes for a perfect Bereaved Mothers day/ Mothers Day present for her. I love being able to become an active family.

I took a good form running class today. I found the source of my pain in running- now I just have to completely change the way I run- no big deal. I mean what is 31 years of muscle memory compared to a 90 minute class- no problem. Well ok, I guess it is going to be a bunch of hard work but I have my starting point. The running class gave me a huge boast in my belief in being able to run. I really am starting to think I can do that.

Oh and I went out a purchased that large coat that fit me. I own and can wear a large coat. LARGE. That just needed to be said again. I wonder if I am going to get to start buying large shirts? I am still feeling a bit big in XL shirts so who knows. I can do this.
