    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I once briefly lokoed at that flylady thing... it was about 10 seconds before I threw the laptop out of the window to spare the horror..

    It's over on OS - it's the list Sammy was putting up each day last week. They have a weekly thread running and it seems every so often someone shouts for a 30 minute 'challenge or exercise' and you are supposed to have a little burst of either cleaning or exercise.........it's all getting a bit tiring for me!!!

    Have to say though - I've done around 2/3 of the list for today!

    Mrs AQA... (i.e. BB) are there any resources online to advise on swimming techniques? especially breathing techniques... my stroke is okay and would improve if i could master breathing properly to submerge more....... even my 7 year old can dive in and not come up until 10m down the pool, me I hold my nose!!

    About this time last Year I decided to start swimming again and could barely do 2 lengths front crawl without dying and had to stop. Amazingly you can really improve so quickly and so good for your fitness. The best thing that helped me was buying a nose clip and goggles...I just couldn't get any technique with breathing without the clip as the water kept going up my nose then I would choke etc etc. The 2nd thing I would suggest is going to a class for improvers. I used to go on a sunday night and it was great, didn't feel out of my depth as there were some that couldn't even swim.
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Perhaps means he's in transit somewhere between OR and recovery? It is pretty ridiculous though
