HealthyBabs's Journal, 08 July 2011

Kind of bummed today, had to say good bye to our 27' pool after it suffered a minor rip during shut down last winter (we thought we had successfully patched) which turned into an unrepairable tear on the 4th of July. In the matter of about 30 seconds the pool was empty as I stood there in disbelief looking up at my hubby on the deck. Our pool guy came out today and determined we could not have the liner replaced successfully because the deluge buckled the sides and made the pool unstable. Deliberated putting in a new pool because we do love it, but it doesn't bring us any closer to our goals of some additional work we eventually want to do with that space. So...no pool. No worries, we have a local town swimming pond in our park we can go to cool off and we always have the ocean on the weekends. We will live with it.

Enjoying a somewhat cooler rainy stormy day today. Supposed to clear out tonight and then be great the rest of the weekend. We are off to the beach tomorrow morning, will get in some great walking and swimming. Hopefully a bike ride on Sunday around laundry and grocery shopping.

Hit new personal best on steps again yesterday of 9324. Taking a break today but will be back after it again tomorrow.

Have a great night everyone!

That's really too bad about your pool, Babs. You must be very proud of yourself for besting your personal best on steps again! Keep walking, my friend! I'm sure you'll go far!

Babs - Hate that about your pool. DH won't even consider a pool because they are so much work (not to mention we are not swimming in $$$ this year).

So sorry about your pool. Once you've had a pool, the decision to go without is a tough one, but you gotta do what you think is best long-term. I've said once in the past that I probably wouldn't want to have a pool at an eventual retirement house, but now I'm not so sure. I guess it depends on what season you ask me! Congrat's on doing all those steps...can 10,000 be far behind??
