Netball tonight, lost but only by one

M@roonetta these are the ones I use.

They give you more surface area to push with, and this exaggerates both the good and bad bits of your stroke. I find they really help my technique with the front part of the stroke.

Nicely done Bez. What do you mean by paddles? Is it for your hands or feet? 😄

Sydney Cummings full body workout done ✔️

Swim and BodyPump yesterday, and a good swim today, 82

BezMills · 04/06/2024 13:53

bon courage @Imfreetofeelgood it's hard when life gets in the way. Sometimes you just have to do whatever, to get through it, and then pick up again.

Today had a wee dawnie. I was in the fastest current I think I've been in for a long time. I swam downstream with paddles on, must have been flying!

I took the paddles off, and could barely make any headway on the way back, was swimming my guts out. I have a plan for that, of course. I just swam to shore and walked back to my clothes!

I'm sorry to hear that @Imfreetofeelgood 😔. Sending you positive thoughts 💖

Ooh I've not heard of that guy, what's his name? Would love to hear how you get on.

3 mile WWL done

1 hour pilates class - my efforts have been poor lately, and a very sad family event for my partner, has lead to stress eating. I'm making a plan to get back on track.
Well done on the 10K MotherForkinShirtBalls.
I like your positive attitude roonetta - I'm going to give WWL a go too. I think I'll also try the guy who has guided video walks from cities he visits. Worth a try.

BezMills · 03/06/2024 18:54

Taught boxercise tonight, 80!

roonetta · 03/06/2024 17:05

10k is no joke Motherforkin, walking or running 👏👏👏

Well done everyone, you are all smashing it 🙌🙌

Walked to and from work today and did 1 mile boosted WWL when I got home so will count it. Going to try and fit in 1 extra WWL mile a day. I can always find 15 minutes somewhere in my day. I need to up my game and stop eating crap so I figured even 1 extra mile a day is more than I was doing. However, stopping eating crap is another matter...😐

S&c this morning. Legs were barely functioning after yesterday so it was a bad day for a hell of a lot of squats 😥

Ha, I'm not sure it was long or fast enough to be a boss move Bez, but I'm going to make myself do it more so I can get some running in. I really need to. I had a 10k today (the Dublin women's mini marathon, it was fantastic). I originally planned to run it slowly but neither nor my friend had done remotely enough training so we walked it instead. At 22°, I'm glad I wasn't running.
