What we won't do for love!

Without a doubt I adore my grandchildren.  If I get a "Grandma do" list I try and oblige.  Well tonight was no exception.  The Grandma do for tonight was "go swimming".  Yes swimming in October! 

She is going through a 10 week health program and I'm trying to help encourage and motivate her.  However, I think at times I'm embarrassing myself with her.  Last week I was dancing to music as part of a workout session.  She has been wanting me to take her swimming all weekend long.  We finally went tonight. 

Thankfully she had a great time.  She did a whole lot of laps.  I used the life preserver and the lap board from the beginning.  Once the hot tub was freed up I got in the hot tub.  Afterward, I just waited on her to finish swimming.  I ended up calling her out the pool because it was getting really late. 


We took before and after photos.  At the end of the total 10 week session one of us should look physically healthier.  I think she's about half way through.  I don't know how many more sessions I will be attending with her but I have learned a lot and feel more strongly about eating more healthy and the importance of making exercise a part of daily activities.

I'm getting to spend more quality time with someone I love dearly.  She had the audacity to tell me last week I was embarrassing her because of my performance at dance class.  LOL!  She told me tonight I can't swim.

The big piece of it all is I'm supporting her in her efforts to maintain her weight.
