Huge congrats to you! Hit that thermostat. Not sure people around you would appreciate it but hey..lol. Is there someplace like a YMCA where you can swim in the winter?

Been working on my arms too. Due to my dialysis fistula, I'm not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk (and not consistently). Still, I push my body slightly in certain positions and I can feel the difference. My body feels different and I like it! When kicking in the pool, I hold in my core. Wore a pair of shorts that are loose today! Is that a NSV mrsroboto? :)

Binky, the 24-Hour Fitness near me has a pool that's open 24-hours (not all of them do); that's where I swim.

A true NSV— I am so fortunate to have access to an indoor warm water pool. I am so proud of you. Losing the cane is wonderful!

Our winter(?j here in SoCal has been delayed. It was 96 yesterday and probably for the next few days. I had already put away my winter bathing suit so had to drag it out again. Going to the beach today.

Shirfleur 1, I am on a VERY tight budget...Christmas is stressful this year. I used to belong to a gym for 20 years, and last time I was there I had a regular trainer and loved it. In 2016, I quickly went through my tiny teachers retirement when I briefly lived in an assisted living facility (I was fainting, just started dialysis, didn't want to drive without dr. approval, and no family nearby). Now I am VERY lucky to have my best friend as a roommate and we are creative about saving money and eating fresh food. That said, I am waiting to get in with a new PT. Going to get ideas and then maybe scope a YMCA I passed by yesterday. I would be at my old gym if funds allowed.

Kenna, please send the meteorologists from SoCal to southeast Texas to fix the slightly faulty outdoor thermostat. Its just BARELY too cool to swim. Went over to the hot tub, but its not big enough to do my kicks. An indoor pool is going to be the only way. THANKS!
