you're so sweet! thanks for the nomination, my dear. i love that you're taking swimming lessons, i'm such a water baby but don't have any sort of technique. i just bob around.
ReplyDeletea fact about me: i have more scars than i probably know about. i have already been a very clumsy person and i fall down a lot, resulting in many cuts, but only two sets of stitches - the first through my eyebrow after hitting my head on a rock after falling down a flight of stairs, and the second in my left leg after i broke it two years back.
More than welcome! :)
DeleteI hope to be a water baby soon! I'm really enjoying it at the moment, just wish I had more time to get down to the pool to practice.
I think I'm over careful and that's the reason I don't hurt myself often, I'm ALWAYS looking down at the floor when I'm walking to make sure I don't trip. My other half on the other hand is the complete opposite and EVERY time we go for a walk, he manages to trip a couple of times on something ;)
Thank you so much for this, it is very kind of you! I think it is fab that you're taking swimming lessons. Despite being a seaside resident for the majority of my life, I am not much of a swimmer. I hope you continue to enjoy it! Also, I really do think that you are amazing for your weight loss and the surgery - very brave and a true inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Steph! and you're very welcome! :)
DeleteDefinitely enjoying swimming, just trying to find more time to fit it in as the pool times are weird. :/
You are awesome and your weight loss story is so inspirational! <3
ReplyDeleteI talk with animals all the time too! :D And it's kinda awesome that you met him through WoW! I usually just hear of people getting WoW-widowed. :[
Thanks! Yeah, people are always surprised when we mention about how we met and some people have absolutely no idea what we are talking about ;)
DeleteYou absolutely are incredibly inspiring, but for more than your weight loss. Sure, that is amazing, above and beyond, but to maintain, to continue and to be a person that people look up to and want to be around in the midst? Now, that is inspiring. Every day, you should wake up with the biggest smile on your face.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has complete conversations with our dogs, and I definitely chat with mine. Alex and I pretend our stuffed animals talk from time to time (after all, they are our children, haha).
Time to get you in that pool and get your ready for a triathlon!
Aww! Thank you so much, you've definitely put a big smile on my face!
DeleteMy other half's mother also has full blown conversations with the animals, its quite funny to watch and listen ;)
I only wish that eventually I will be able to swim good enough to enter a triathlon, watch this space! ;)
My congratulations on being nominated! You work so hard; you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThanks alot! :)
