More "no arms" today. I will become a strong kicker; I will. :sweat: Awww you're so kind! :flowerforyou: I umm, didn't say I was fast :blush:
-
More "look Ma, no arms" lap swimming and drills. I will improve my kick!
-
<whining> Ugh I had so much stuff go wrong today, and the interview has been canceled because they already made someone else an offer, and it got verbally accepted, and they're saying they want me to be the next person they hire, after the dust settles, but who knows, and I got really stressed out and bought a gluten-free…

What was your calorie intake? I'm curious, because I made myself ill in ketosis because it's so appetite suppressing, I was barely getting 1000 calories a day, with 20 grams of carbs, and I was lifting weights and swimming (and I'm 5'11")...after nine weeks I was so ill I couldn't exercise for a couple weeks. Then I went…

Meee toooo! I have a job interview on Monday that includes tech-skill screening, so I'll be studying, exercising, sleeping, and eating, and not much else, till then... wishing you all a splendid weekend, meanwhile... Larisa
-
Thank you! Meanwhile, I worked on kicks again yesterday, and feel like I made progress. :)

I can't believe two weeks ago I was in full-on health crisis, deeply fatigued, unable to exercise, doing a short steroid taper, and talking to my doctor about other hormone replacements...and after increasing my daily calories from 1000-ish to 1500, I'm just fine. Lesson learned: Just because low carb suppresses appetite…
-
I worked almost exclusively on kick drills, in class today--probably because I did squats and lunges last night (no, actually because I suck at kicking. Except butterfly; I have that one down). :blush: I think the main problem with my crawl/"flutter" kicks is hip/low back weakness left over from the surgery--my form looks…

May Day, and International Guerrilla Gardening Day. :D :flowerforyou: My April goals, well...I didn't walk every morning, nor do kettlebell swings every non-lifting afternoon... but I did weather a scary health crisis and a round of steroids and still drop a little more weight. And I logged everything I ate for the second…

Janetr, hugs, tears and prayers! I'm wiped out; that's all I've got... goodnight, lovely Ladies. :heart:

Computers actually hate us...I'm quite sure of it. :wink:
-
OMG I have that shirt! :smiley: I think I love you.
-
Thanks! She's planning to join the May thread when I send her the URL. :smile: I use dumbbells, barbells, cable machines, resistance bands, kettlebells, and lately,TRX. Basically if it involves enough effort and sweat, I'll give it a shot. :sweat_smile: I don't know that I can take much credit for the "rocking"; I'm…

hahaha I would do World Naked Gardening Day, but my garden is on a fifth-floor rooftop, surrounded by 17~26-story buildings. I meet people at the bus stop, who recognize me, from watching me garden. Ummm....
-
Oh that could work! :smile: I don't think body proportions really matter, for a forearm tattoo :wink: and you would get to see it. My collarbone tattoo is largely where it is so I can see it--even if it is backwards, in the mirror. :wink:
-
Yeah on top of the foot, the tattoo can fade rather quickly from shoe friction and need to be redone. Not awesome. How tall are you? Are you leggy, or more long torso? Broad shoulders? These play into placement; you want it to be about your body, as much as about the design. I originally wanted a tattoo on the back of my…

Hahah Fishgutzy is my hero. :sunglasses:

Maura, It's close-knit in some ways, but also remarkably inclusive and welcoming. I joined seven weeks ago, and while I don't really manage to keep up, I'm so glad I found these ladies. I hope you have a great experience here. :smile: Larisa
-
Hi Ladies, a friend of mine has started using MFP and would like to join this group. She's just a sprout--only 45, but this just the loveliest, most encouraging group of ladies I've found on MFP, so if it's okay with y'all, I'd like to point her this direction. :heart: Also I did resistance training today for the first…
-
YESSS Thanks, meee tooooo!
-
I LOVE that feeling!! :smiley:
-
Someday I hope to have a good day like your bad day. :smile:
-
Oh I love this group! Weaving and pottery and gardening and pets and babies and home-brewed fiction, we've got it all right here. :love: I went and got weighed and measured and photographed and turned in my testimonial...I could possibly win, at the local level, based on "inch loss" and my testimonial...the cash prize…
-
I'm newly down to 206, looking to get to 185. (I'm a giantess :wink:) May I join you?
-
Class today was mostly kicking drills...just what I need, actually :smile:
-
Happy Sunday Everyone!
-
I'm turning it in on Monday when they weigh me and measure me for the challenge. :smile: Thank you all for the encouragement!
-
Okay Ladies, I'm feeling a little shy about this, but decided to share it anyway: Here's the testimonial I wrote for the transformation challenge at my gym. Thanks for "listening". :love: :heart: :flowerforyou: **** **** **** When I first joined Gold's Gym, I was mostly recovered from four orthopedic surgeries involving…

:flowerforyou:

This is the kind of drama that keeps me from trying the "circle swims", as a relatively beginning swimmer. :confused:
