Hey everyone im new to this forum, and really excited to find it!. I just recently joining Gold's Gym in Syracuse to start (what i thought would be) just working out. But i realized that they had a decent 3 lane pool, and so i bought another jammer. Haha orignally a tiny size 28 6 years go, i was able to find myself a size 34 haha. I have started off doing 2000-2500 yeards in a aprox. 1 hour session about 5 times a week. Needless to say ive been doing great and losing some weight. My suit is now baggy on me, so time to buy a new one haha. I have been back into the swing of things for a month and a half. My workout tomorrow

Great to see that you're back in action! I am originally from the Syracuse area (well, not originally, but I grew up there). Hope you haven't had any of that lake effect snow yet!
