Day one of getting my life back! Started the day with a proper swim, 1km in 30mins…in a pool! Felt so much better all day, and was so much more productive! Hoping to gradually gain my confidence to hit the gym again!

Just be kind. You have no idea how much work it takes for some people to even walk out of the house, never mind in leggings, or even to walk through the door of a gym!

I was on fire at the gym tonight, even my PT commented on my performance. I’m super proud of my progress. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be confident in the gym, lifting weights like I am now. Thanks to @Jamie Bigg and this amazing group, for supporting me and getting me this far. Let’s see how much further I can push this. Game on 🤩🏋️‍♂️💪

Sorry I haven't been on here too much lately. Half term was🥴 because the week after my son had his school residential and he was so anxious about the sleeping part that most of half term he couldn't sleep so we emailed the school saying we would get him there in the mornings and pick him up at night🫣 Then he went on his trip and loved it so the second day he said he would give sleeping a try on the last night...it wasn't good but at the very least he won't regret not giving it a try. Then on Sunday it was the Worthing 10k...hardest one I have done and the slowest. I'm pretty sure it's perimenopause playing a hand on it, although it was very windy and about half way round I had a massive bumblebee land on me and not want to get off🫣 The main thing I'm taking from the last 2 weeks is that I have not given up. I finished the 10k and I am still hoping I get into the London marathon. And this morning I have asked for a blood test...fingers crossed they let me🤣 Keep going guys! You are all doing so well 🙌🏼 Ps put my song playlist from Worthing 10k for @Rachel Littlewood since she put hers up...mines a little bit like marmite...you either love it or hate it 🤣🙌🏼

The great thing about aerial hoop moves is the creators often at least try to warn you how grim it is in the name. Meathook has been on the hit list for years, but a combination of hyper-mobility, and poor life choices means my ribs have been broken/sub-luxxed quite a bit. So I need to get to work on those pesky intercostals...both strength and flexibility. This is where we're starting from in June. Left the sound in for your amusement 😂 (She sounds lovely but there's an 80% chance that was sarcasm.)
