Well today is the second day that I did 50 laps of various strokes of our local council pool. I still feel really unfit as I feel exhausted now, but at the same time amazing. It's like having a new lease on life! I am going again on Friday and have invested in a few things to get me going (training fins and new goggles). I really need a swimming cap too as my hair gets everywhere (it short hair with a long fringe). I am also eating healthier and have an appointment with the dietician coming up soon to fine tune my healthy eating plan (I know she is going to mention eating seafood but I am allergic to it so it's a no go). Looking forward to being a healthier Queen.
What exercise programs have others done/enjoyed/hated?

Yep! NMDAR is a type of glutamate receptor. Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. The receptor is found on nerve cells and allows the movement of calcium through the cells. Alcohol and laughing gas act on this receptor to block it (antagonist) and prevent it from opening leading to a depression in the CNS - so sleepiness, decreased consciousness, slowed movement etc.

So far I've lost 3kg @outlander which I know isn't much. I think I've gained muscle tone though and I am definitely fitter because I can easily run up and down stairs without getting breathless.
