As many of you know I am a distance swimmer for exercise. Not for competition though.
Arthritis in my feet keeps impact inducing activity off the list. I'm even supposed to limit walking.
Good thing I enjoy swimming.
No headphones. No fancy swim gadgets. Just a digital click counter and the necessary cap, goggles and drill gear.
Swimming in China isn't too bad. Nothing like at home at my Y. But at least there is a rope and most of the time the life guards don't let people screw around in the designated lap lane. I just wish the Chinese people would break the chains laid on them by Moa and just learn the darn front crawl. More of them are. But it really bites lane sharing with people doing attack mode frog kicks scratching my back with their finger nails doing the breast stroke. Much less of this during the current trip.
Swimming helps keep me sane without the use of pharmaceuticals. I'd probably be diagnosed with some sort of anxiety disorder or depression without it.
My 'diet' motto is simple too. Eat to lose weight. Exercise to eat more.
