Incredibly happy
Today I started my new job as a lifeguard/trainee swimming teacher. Did my swimming test which has the pass time of 60 seconds, managed to do it in 39 seconds, my best ever time. I felt like during that swim I was getting all the rage and pain of quitting smoking and drinking out in one performance.

I was the best of twelve and couldn't be happier.

I also had pretty much the best first day of work ever. I had a few guys make cracks about my weight before the swim, that stopped after I beat them all in the pool
