Ooops!

I was sure that I had a post all set up and ready for tonight. Good thing I checked that it posted as I didn't have one. I almost missed a day, but I'm here now so it's all good.
On Saturday I took my son to swimming and I made sure that I put my swimmers in the bag too. As it turned out the one lane that is usually left for casual lap swimmers was vacant and after a bit of procrastinating I got changed and hopped in for a swim myself. As soon as I started trying to swim my pants started to fall off, I was struggling to keep them up whilst kicking. I ended up doing maybe 10 laps of breast stroke as that wasn't pulling my pants down as fast. I did have to stop half way down the pool each time to pull them up a little but I got there in the end. The pool is only 25 meters long so 10 laps isn't as far as it might sound.
The swimmers are a pair that I've had for a year or two and the used to fit me really well. I guess my waist has shrunk a bit which is good.
On Sunday I did some weights in the garage and everything was feeling a little easier and today I don't have any pain in my arms. I didn't do any squats as I chickened out, but tomorrow I plan to do some.
Instead of going for a walk today, I knocked off work a little early and went for a ride instead (on my motorbike). When I got home I didn't know if I wanted to head out or not so I asked my son if he wanted to go and ride his bike. When he said no, that's when I decided not to walk. I probably should have as my diet hasn't been the best the last few days and I don't want to fall back into old habits.
Tomorrow is another weights day so hopefully I remember to do them. I'm going to try and do 5 sets of each tomorrow as the weights are already feeling just a little bit lighter. Once I've got 5 sets down without issue I'll look at increasing the weight and going back to 4 sets.

Bomber,
better late than never
