Well I think I have broken the wall. I am not near as tired at night ( OMG the first two weeks were brutal, I was in bed by 8-8:30) and getting up is easier at 4:45 am. The swimming was really hard in the beginning. It is still hard but I can work through it much easier. I am improving. I am much stronger than I was and faster. I was even asked today if I had lost weight :applaud:. I dont think so but I have lost inches in my back. I understand the swimming lingo. At first I was a little out of it. I have all my swim equipment and love using it. I think they say it takes 28 days to break a habit. Well I am over that now and I think I am in a routine, swimming has just become something I have to and need to do 4 times a week. The fact that I enjoy it is wonderful and I must admit a little surprising. I used to get bored when I swam as a youngster. I guess the older mind likes it better than my young one did. I am lucky to have a good coach and fun people to swim with. No one makes you feel like you are not doing incredible. It is all wonderful I do hate the drive to work now but I guess it is a small price to pay for my physical and mental health. Thanks everyone here for your words of wisdom , help, expertise and humour Cheers Katie

    Congratulations! Took me TWO months to finally make it thru a workout.....now its a habit getting up at 5:00am in the mornings. I too lost inches, (alas no weight). Its nice to see some 'deifinition' where muscles should be instead of just fat! Keep up the good work! -Julia
