I should try swimming again. I tried it last year but stopped because I thought it was damaging my hair…of all the stupid excuses. I’m not a good swimmer at all (mostly flutter board) but my daughter has 1 hour lessons each week…it would be better than sitting off to the side reading stuff on my phone.

You should! Using the flutter board is a great workout.
When I swam often I had to bite the bullet and use a swim cap. I don’t like them but it prevents a lot of the chlorine damage. I am not at the pool to look pretty anyway. It’s a workout.

Lol - take the first step @Steve92 - it’s just like getting sober…1 step, 1 day at a time. All jokes aside, I wouldn’t be able to do it without my exercise.
lol i lost 30 pounds just by not drinking, im sure i could lose more if i started working out a bit…
I’m 5"11 237 lbs 25yrs old. I’m sure im overweight according to some chart out there lol
Maybe i will ask someone in my meetings if i could tag along with them some day

Super frustrated right now with Lexapro…gonna go see my MD on Monday for a recheck, but I am on day 12 and I am absolutely sapped of energy. I know I probably need to be on it right now or it wouldn’t have been prescribed, but has anyone else experienced that with physical training and being on this med? I find it so hard to get to the gym and before I was on it I was hitting 2 a day workouts! Feeling like I have the life sucked out of me 
…at least I’m not drinking.
Fit bit has helped me stay motivated and pushed me thru many days of anxiety… feels so great to be healthy again!
Also recently hit 18 months sober!
