about a month ago, i got a pamphlet in the mail for our local community centers and for some reason, i read it instead of tossing it directly into the recycling. i was looking for art or cooking classes, but instead what jumped out at me was the pool schedule. as i read the water aerobics summaries, i thought back to 2001 when i would get up at 5:45 am in the cold of winter (and by "cold" i mean ARCTIC TUNDRA 30 BELOW ZERO IN SD weather) to go to the Y to swim laps with tammy and lara. oh, did i mention i did this when i was an RD and was usually up until midnight each night, if not later? that said, i didn't dwell on the pain of going...instead, i remembered how much we enjoyed those morning swims. and how much i love swimming in general.

after some inquiries with friends and coworkers to find someone to go with (i won't try something new on my own...that's crazy talk!), i went last week with a coworker. WE LOVE IT. it is so great - very low key, but a great workout - and the ladies who lead it and attend are great. and i'm doing something in the community. and it means i leave work on time!

now excuse my, i must practice my moves before i head to water aerobics tonight. :)
