Passion
Passion comes in many forms. Romance with another person, a zeal and zest for life, ultimate enjoyment of something… I consider myself to be a pretty passionate person. I have very strong opinions (I know, you’re all shocked to hear this); I am quick to love something and just as quick to dislike it. You may call it “fickle,” I call it passionate. I’ve talked a little about my plans to join a local swim group in Now, I hadn’t signed up yet, but would need to on that day. I told the coach there’s no way I was swimming in a lane with six other people! He understood and told me to “try again in an hour.” I had been passionate about my experience on Monday. I had really built this team up in my head and was very disappointed at the way things were going. Some people would have gone back in an hour; others may have thought it no big deal and just quit swimming. I called a girlfriend, joined her on a swim at her local gym, and ended up loving it and joining her health club yesterday. All of this GREATLY confused my husband. Why the sudden turn? I was so passionate about wanting to join this other team! Now one thing happens and I’ve totally changed my tune? In short… yes. The thing is, he thought I was passionate about the first swim team. What I was really passionate about was… ME! It was about me getting healthy, swimming and loving it; me getting into a routine every other day of jumping into a pool and working my butt off. In the end, it really didn’t matter where. I wasn’t passionate about the coach, or the other swimmers, or the pool. I was (and am) passionate about my desire to change for the better. Wish me luck you passionate women you! 6 comments from 4 users

I got my suit on eBay, but I've bought off Amazon before. I knew exactly what I wanted (black Speedo) and what size (no comment), so I was comfortable buying on-line. I got it brand new, tags and all for about 75% off retail! Woo hoo! I saw again today and had a great time. I wish more of you lived in Davis!!! posted by

Anything that gets you moving and grooving is a good thing and you should be passionate about YOU--after all you've got that speedo to fill out! ;-) I am going to be passionate about exercise this year, too. I wouldn't call it a resolution, but its definitely my mane goal for myself this year--that and my website. Don't forget that you PROMISED last year that you would do the half marathon with me THIS year! ;-)

Yup, I didn't forget my promise! Why do you think I joined a gym? Hahaha. How's our third marathon party member doing? I swear not to be passed by a giant red chili pepper again. I am for sure moving and grooving. I'm glad you're focusing on yourself as well. You deserve it! posted by
