- Matshona Dhliwayo Today I am doing my best to breathe deeply and face the things head on that part of me would like to crawl under a rock and avoid.

Let's all wish our great group member, Erin, a Happy BIrthday today!

In addition to the promise I made to myself of going on 3 long walks a week over 10k steps, I’m going to make another promise of listening to my body more acutely and honestly when it comes to food. This means only eating when I’m hungry, stopping when I’m 70% full, staying away from sugar as much as possible, and paying more attention to emotional eating. I’m on day 2 of this and feeling good.

Happy Wednesday nite. I am still taking swim classes....had one tonite.. ...last 2 classes I had 2 anxiety attacks..i panicked...for whatever reason, once I hit almost 7 feet...i panicked bc I couldn't touch the floor..im 5*2......so I was called out. Embarrassing ...happened again tonite...but I'm going back Friday nite and if I panic...I guess, oh well...I think I need to clear my mind of sadness, thinking of whats up with me...mean people..etc...so Friday, no thoughts except *get past 7 feet*...we'll see... Ok...sorry long post...just a update on my swimming journey....or swimming struggle.. I read it can take a year for adults to learn to swim...so let's see. Everyone have a nice peaceful night. ☘
