How long does it take before you start seeing improvement? I know it's only be a month, but I'm not seeing much improvement in my 50 yd free time. I do however feel like my body is with standing longer yardage, without stopping. I swim an avg. of 3 days 30 mins avg. 300-400yds 1- day 60 mins avg. 800 yds. I use the workout room, 1 mile 20 min.-walk, different cable weights for 20 mins, 1 mile bike 1-2 times a week. No weight loss yet. Trying to remember that I must really be improving it's just not showing yet. Any advise??:confused:

  • I think 5-4 and 127 is a good weight. 117 may be too thin, although without seeing your bone structure hard to tell. I have an 18 year old and 13 year old, work full time and do lots of volunteer work with all of their activities, plus a few of my own. I get up early to work-out, most mornings before 5. I swim at lunch a lot and eat at my desk(which probably is not a good habit, but do what I have to do). About 10 years ago I switched from doing weight work in a gym to working out at home, which is much better for time management, although all the equipment tends to clutter my family room. Your 14 year old would be having PE classes in school, so have PE classes at home and do your dry-land work-out with her or teach her to swim and get her in the pool as well. There is a homeschooler that swims with the adult lessons at the Y, and she seems to have a good time. It is a matter of scheduling time for yourself and making sure your family knows this aspect of your life is as important as other things.
