After a review of the finances I can now rejoin the local gym for the year! That's unlimited gym, swim and classes at any of their 5 centers for a whole year! I'm going to pop up to the local one later on today to see if I can sort it out today. I have ordered some H2O Rock Tape, it's just like the Rock Tape I use every day but with twice as much glue so I can use it when I'm in the pool which is a bonus 
To get back in the pool will be soooo good and should help with my rehab

Not that I'm excited or anything, but I've just ordered some new swimming stuff! I've ordered 2 new costumes, 2 new hats, a mesh equipment bag (currently my flippers hang off the front of my swimming bag and occasionally work themselves free!) and some fin footbooties (neoprene half-socks to wear inside fins to stop them rubbing) That should all arrive this week. I've just had a quick check of all my stuff as I'm going to the spa tomorrow and will take my swimming bag. When I get back in the pool I will have to take it steady for a while and I wont be able to use my fins. It will be very difficult to take it easy in the pool as I usually like to do at least 80 lengths (a minimum of half of my usual 160) and average at 100. I think I need to aim for just 50 for now though and maybe stick in the slower lanes.

Don't know about that Gem!
I have just sorted out the music on my AquaBeats and I'm charging them ready. Whilst getting the charger out of the box I had a look at all the other stuff in there. As the charger is in the box of the second one I got I had never got the earphones out as I use the same ones for both. I should have looked sooner as the earphones are much better ones! They are more like the plugs you get for swimming therefore much more appropriate for the job! So needless to say I have switched the earphones now
I am hoping to swing by the gym tomorrow to get my membership sorted so I can get in the pool on Wednesday.
Went to my favourite spa today and it was soooo needed! I love the spa and I desperately needed the relaxation and the freedom that water brings to poor ailing joints!

Afternoon! Well I went to the leisure center today and I am now the proud owner of a year long membership I think I may go to an aquafit class to see if my knee can cope with it. I am waiting for my special Rock Tape to arrive and my new swimming supplies. My AquaBeats are charged and ready to go. On Monday I have an appointment to set my gym program for when I am fit enough to do the gym. I'm thinking that while my knee is still healing I could still do the arm and ab machines, just not the legs.
I have eaten really badly from Friday through to yesterday and I feel a bit sluggish. My scales aren't impressed with it either! I will have to be a bit more sensible for the rest of the week. I still hope to get into my work trousers before I go back to full duties

Just a little Gem! Time to be a bit more sensible now I think.
Just been to the post office to pick up a delivery I missed yesterday. Very pleased as it was some of the swimming stuff I ordered so I'm hoping that my H2O Rock Tape arrives today. If it does I think I might try the aquafit class at 10am tomorrow. I have 2 pools close by, one half a mile away and one 4 miles away. I prefer the one 4 miles away to swim in as it's a nicer pool and for aquafit I think I'm better off going to that one too as it has proper stairs going down into the pool as opposed to the rickety ladders that I don't think I could safely negotiate at the moment! My preferred pool does 2 aquafit classes a day, some both in the evening, some both in the morning and some either end of the day. That means I can go quite regularly while I still have some flexible time
