easy does it

I have been trying to stay moving this pregnancy [it is good for my body and my brain] and one of the things I have been aiming for is a swim a couple of times a week. But a little while ago I realised that I was telling myself I should do it, but not doing it and then feeling bad that I wasn’t [eeek!]

It has been grey and wet and cold in my neck of the woods and the pool I usually swim at is outdoor. Which is terrific when it’s the middle of summer but when it’s freezing and you have to get in [or out] and you’re a big ol’ scaredy-pants like me, it makes it super hard. Sort of so hard you end up not going at all.

One day a couple of weeks ago I suddenly realised that I could just go to another pool. I know. So obvious [except for some reason, it wasn’t].

So now I’m swimming in the warm, in a beautiful pool with big glass windows that look out onto the wild and woolly weather outside. I love it.

Sometimes the best solutions are the easiest [but least obvious] ones.
