Today at the YMCA I went swimming and had a pleasant time. It was difficult getting myself to go at first when I started my swimming program. Because I am very self-conscious about how I look to other people and I get very pissed when people make comments that are out of line.

The people that frequent the YMCA pool have pleasantly surprised me, they have been very supportive of me. One old guy that goes there to water walk is named Peter. He is a German immigrant and speaks with a heavy accent. He always makes sure that I get a lane to swim in and often times will ask the life guard to open an extra lane for me. I am somewhat of an icon for some of those people I guess. I don't think there are too many people on this earth built like me working-out in the public eye. My wife says that they know how difficult it is to keep up a workout regimen and appreciate what I am trying to do. One lady asked me today how many inches I have taken off lately. I told her that I did not know because I only weigh in every three months. She said that she could tell that I had been trimming down and how she thinks it's so great. It makes me feel good to have those people behind me as I continue my journey. There are some very wonderful people in this world and it's nice to share life with them when you find them!
