replacing the scale #'s. And tools

Our Heroine is proud to have brought her lap time down to 15 min for 10 laps. Can't promise it will be that low every day but practice, practice, practice. 

Our Heroine has a rule she tries and live by which is don't buy the things unless you have proven you will do the thing first. As such she now has hand paddles and goggles also ear plugs. The Hand paddles help form. It is near impossible to turn arms and hands wrong while using them. It is nice to not have to clear water from her ears. And goggles are needed to stay straight in her lane and not hit the wall.

Our Heroine is not pleased with the scale however she is fitting in things better. She just wants faster results. She wants a tight stomach one that she would be proud of naked.

Our Heroine & the Wizard of Aim ran away to the woods. They made a 2 hr hike take 4 hrs as they stopped for rock hunting and photos a lot. 

 150 laps= 4.02 miles    10 laps in 15 min

37.5 = mile

Dingle hoppers

Today Our Heroine worked on Dingle Hoppers most of the day. Only leaving the Cave to do her 10 laps. 

The DQ app however nailed her as she was leaving the gym so non dairy dilli bar happened. 

ADHD and gym bags don't mix. Our Heroine learned that she has to have 2 towels and 2 swim suits and no gum bag. As such she has changed and a canvas bag and croquet shower bag. Gym bags are where things go to mildew. Though she does now have to have the windows down more to air dry stuff. She goes straight to the shower from the pool and rinses the suit as she strips it off then hand wrings it out. And hangs it on the hanger when she exits the show she hangs it over the sink in the locker room whild dressing. She hasn't left it in the sink since she started using hangers. The one piece shares the towel hanger. The only challenge is remembering to refill the shampoo & conditioner

A Dingle Hopper is a mobile with a fork on it. The name diriving from the Disney the little mermaid. 

Our Heroine will sell them at the Pagan picnic this year. They have sea glass and prisms also as such they work for sky and/or water. 

She is hoping to go hiking tomorrow with the Wizard of Aim. 

 

 

2nd swim of day hit on

 Our Heroine worked out this morning the swam, she received a call from me client asking for a ride home so Our Heroine went straight and helped them out.  During this trek Our Heroine was chatting in Discord with one of her new youths. She seems to have begun her Mamma Bear Era. So she decided to go kid knap said College student and walk the water shed and drive route 66 to the next town and do Lunch. During which fried mushrooms were eaten so afterwards back to swim another 10 laps

The bathing suit and towel from this morning was wet so she wore the medium size one that she wore at The Princess' wedding it get again and is fitting better every day. Though Our Heroine did see the middle in two places it was way to low cut for her comfort. This is the first time she has ever taken a selfie of herself in a swimming suit. She is working on being more body positive. At the moment she is only positive she is not yet happy with hers. However she is working on that. Sigh. 

Also I was hit on while in the pool and checked out when leaving the pool. And I will say I felt kind of nice

130 laps 3.49 miles

Kinetic meditation

 Breath in, 4 strokes breathing out. Repeat all while repeating in our head the number of the lap she is on. 

Our Heroine Aquisized this morning and did 10 laps in the evening. The scale is unfortunately/ fortunately showing gains but it is muscle. 

Don't get her wrong if she ever finds herself in an intimate setting she wants to not lose her breath from being out of shape. And things are drinking in places she would like them too. This time around  Our Heroine is aiming high. She looks forward to the day her head rests on a heart that feels like home. But that is a bonus. Feeling self empowered. That is the win. That and no medical bill for preventable illnesses. 

There is a plank challenge that out Heroine has wanted to be able to do. She tried when she started this fitness journey. So watch for it. 

Side witch project

 Today's adventures of Our Heroine involved The side Witch 🧹 and the Viking Cat Lady🐈.

The day starts my our Heroine drinking coffee trying out a new cream alternative for her coffee working great might be better with flavored stevia. Then she was working on stock for Pagan picnic and damaging both of her thumb nails. One she cracked the polish the other she chipped the nail  as such she will be doing a special trip to the nail lounge for a repair tomorrow it is just 7 days since she had then done. 

After that She and the Side Witch 🧹 met up with the Viking Lady🐈 did lunch then headed to the Great abis of storage to look for treasures. They spent 3 long hours and sorted many things. The Viking Cat Lady left with her car Full. 5 boxes when to the Thrift, a half box of cups for the kingdom, and pewter for the Heroine to melt Means walking room in the Great Abis of storage, Yay! 🎉

Still Our Heroine got she ass to the Pool and did her work out and her 10 laps. She did her laps in 17 min new record. Bad news she is not sure if her is now putting on so much muscle that is is out pacing fat lose pound for pound. 😔 Middle class, middle aged, first world, yoga pants wearing, white women problem. 😆 But man Her Legs Look amazeballs. 

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming.

100 laps = 2.64 miles

37.25=1 mile.

Over coming the overcast day

Today our Heroine had to make boundaries firm with her Client. As such her dropped her at the Medical Appointment and then logged off the clock. Sucky because lost pay. But also good because the Heroine did not stay off the clock. The old habits would have had her do so. 

The Heroine then did errands.Food yes our Heroine remembered to feed herself, Fuel, key made, Food for the 4 Footed, musical, hot water, bottle that yells at her for snacrifises. And a walk up Cahokia mounds, then a chocolate coffee vegan protein smoothie. After a short rest at which time, lap time as demand. And at past off to second client. After work our Heroine ate a salad before she met up with a young man in the parking lot behind the garden at The college to pick up a rock (this will be how she dies one day) 😂 

Since all the way home n E-ville she stopped at the club of Sam again the straight to Swimming before she talked her self out of them.

This wasn't supposed to be an off day but She got things done like it way. 

Tomorrow Our Heroine and the Side Witch meet up with a Viking cat 🐈 😺 lady. They are doing lunch and raiding a storage unit. 

Labradorite

The thistles blooming on Monks mound  

Dott is a dick she took my computer chair so I sat on the futon but she came over and demanded attention. Bossy cat

 

Cheshire Moon I was thinking the clouds would let me see the planets Tonight 

While she is not thrilled with her shape she is happier then she was 

 

Trying to chase the grumpies away. An accidental poem

 Our heroine woke up grumpy. And the cat was loud and spoke too much. That fur line musical hot water bottle had a lot to say and demanding to be held. 

Our heroin did not sleep well, so it seems. 

Yet she had to rise early from her dream. 

Scheduled to work early per the norm,

but her clients shift was in short form 

As our heroin clocked off only 40 minutes in. 

Would the day go to waste? What a sin 

Overcast and cloudy heroin was pouty 

And so errands she ran off to do, 

Trying to cound blessing to chance of the blue.

Drop off at thrift store, then cat food & fuel oh what a cost,

Get a send key for truck made adding up the financial loss.

Maybe swim in not this early especially in the rain.

Wait a hike up Cahokia mound stairs, (sounds like my insane)

Arrived at the mound site

Get to the top in one go with all my might

Thistle, comfrey and clover, Butterflies and birds, 

The view is fantastic, and so many other words.

Tourists and locals, swallows and chimney swifts and painted ladies, dandelions and goat weed,  also pineapple chamomile,

The sun comes out and the view is clear and I can't help but smile.

Our Heroine was Grumpy and trying to keep her feeling at bay

If she can't count your blessings she'll make new ones today.
