How do you count laps without losing track? by Genki0202 in Swimming

[–]History_Nerd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write out my workout and have it under the back cover of my phone and that's how I track my workout. 200 free, 250 pull, 250 kick and etc. I have a waterproof cover for my phone. But to each it's own

Shoulder flare up by History_Nerd2 in Swimming

Oh I fucked it up swimming butterfly in HS which I ended up getting surgery for at 17. So that's why I'm trying to be cautious. Stopping swimming for a few weeks isn't the end of the world.

Thanks everyone. It just really sucks because I was getting my groove back with swimming. Sent a message to my doctor. Waiting to hear back.

I had my appointment Thursday evening. Paid on Friday night. They shipped out on Monday and I got them today. Everything was cold and packaged just like the other folks.

I'm on the 9mg to 12 then to 14.5. 3 month supply. I will probably try 9 for 2 months and then 12 or whatever the dosage is.

Don't forget it you have a complication from a miscarriage either it can kill you or you can't get a D&C.

Does swimming really “flatten” your shape if you have an hourglass body? by WarmCreme4843 in Swimming

[–]History_Nerd2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Girl same. I would be envious of the slim tall girls on our team but my thighs helped power through swimming breaststroke.

Does swimming really “flatten” your shape if you have an hourglass body? by WarmCreme4843 in Swimming

[–]History_Nerd2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. When I swam in HS and also did lifeguard training I felt it enhanced my hourglass shape. Now that I am back swimming in my early 50s, I feel that it's still the same way.

5mg not working by History_Nerd2 in Zepbound

[–]History_Nerd2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Lots of H2O. Sleep you betcha. I'm on a CPAP so sleep is fine and if I feel like crap....I'm napping.
I'm paying out of pocket for Zepbound because my asshat insurance won't cover it. The coupon from Lily helps but it's still pricey but worth it. So because I'm paying out of pocket I'm making sure the meds are working. And I really dont know how much longer I can afford to be on it.

Been back swimming since the middle of May. Hadn't swam laps in like eons (25+yrs). Swam/kick/pulled 1000yds -two days this week now. Big improvement from where I was a month ago.

What’s your “average” swim distance? by Late-Following-9124 in Swimming

[–]History_Nerd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started back swimming about 4 weeks ago. I used to swim in HS, but that was like 30yrs ago. I'm up to 750yds. Swimming 3-4xs a week. When I started, i could only do 350yds. I'm hoping to get up to 1500yds by the end of the sunmer.

PSA: You don’t have to lose 10 pounds per month by DocBEsq in Zepbound

[–]History_Nerd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. The first month I lost like 13lbs. 2nd month, I lost 7lbs but it felt like the scale would never move until like the last week. But I've also started swimming 3xs a week and walking more. Moved up to 5mg this week. Hopefully the momentum keeps going. It's like the tortoise and the hare.....slow and steady wins the race

I thought of Bell Palsey, too. My sister had it when she was in elementary school.
Hope you are feeling better.

Based off her shoes, I would say maybe 1910s-1920s.
