I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts?
I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.

Fort your hubby sounds like a good man. It will happen. I am a believer in if it is meant to be it will happen. If not this time next time.
Can I ask how old you are , when you started swimming again and how old your kids are. OKAY I SOUND REALLY NOSEY LOL LOL:lmao:
I just saw that you have a 13 year old. I have a 12 year old dd and my other dd will be 14 next Friday. So I wondered about you as I just started swimming in September. I am truly loving it. In some ways I am doing better than I thought I would, in other ways I am not. I am losing inches in my hips and back but not the blasted tummy yet. I have not eaten great yet as we were away last weekend for a wedding and this weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving. Come Tuesday I will incorporate the food and training.
I am not sure when I will be ready for a meet. Maybe in the spring.
My hubby is not a strong swimmer at all. I know he will not be at all the meets I eventually go to but that is okay. I think he is proud that I am doing this for me. It has been a long time where I really committed to something just for me.
Let us know if you are going to the meet
