    My veins are hard to find, so they tried one arm yest'day but ended up taking the needle out so I went back today but the same thing happened Will have to try again next month
    When last I donated blood I was told I had 'shy veins'. The 'exsanguinatrix' took so many attempts to get a sample! I swear, by the time I left the centre I wasn't sure if I should use my arms to pick things up or drain pasta through.

    Ms Derious - Owwww, you poor thing! Because it was my first time they didn't want to dig around too much so they only tried once on each arm and pulled it out within a few seconds, lucky me I suppose! My bf thinks I shouldn't bother going back as my veins are obviously going to be difficult, but I really wanted to donate.

    I have been so ill since Sunday, have eaten about 3 pieces of fruit since then.
    Thankfully all the gym work i'd been doing up till then has kinda helped the fact that the 3/4 stone i've lost in 5 days, whilst being drastic, is almost all bulk, so shouldn't do much health damage long term!
    Amazing how all the good work can be undone so quickly though! *thumbdown*

    Oh boy, do I dread nausea.
    Bad luck, Gogs.

    Today I went to find a big pond where supervised 'open water swimming' takes place. Tomorrow morning I will try my cheapo wetsuit at the indoor baths. Hopefully I will go for an outdoor dip on Saturday, where there will be plenty of super-athletes to rescue me from weeds, swimming animals, and submerged barrels.

    Hope I don't get Weil's disease.

    I can manage 120 lengths of 25metres... but I usually stop before I turn around, to make sure I don't bump into anyone.

    Cheers, feeling far better now, dunno what it was but it lasted 4 days which is a long time to be as ill as that, lol.
    Went climbing for 2 hours on Sunday and been to the gym yesterday and today, whilst flooring a loft for someone last night, dunno which was more strenuous, lol!!!!

    Swimming in the neoprene wetsuit was interesting. I was waiting for the air to bubble out for a while but the buoyancy was due to the suit. I usually sink fairly effortlessly, but I felt a bit like polystyrene... lacking the forward motion which would ordinarily come from my bodyweight. I'm sure this feature will be very comforting if I find myself a hundred metres away from standing up with my head above water.

    I was wondering if I would need petroleum jelly to prevent chafing, but the water in the suit seemed to form a kind of lubricating barrier... don't know whether this will be effective after an hour or two.

    I'm managing to stick to two days of proper exercise, followed by an active day where I don't work out but I do walk a few miles into two and back. It's helping me work my way up to my goal weight by sloooowllly putting of muscle tissue, rather than just a load of fat, which isn't that healthy.

    I'm also trying to give up caffeine again. I gave up for several years before starting up again when I went to a new job with no decaffeinated coffee, and the occasional coffee multiplied.

    It is quite amazing the buzz you get sometimes from climbing compared to some other sports.
    Maybe the adrenaline rush has something to do with it? That, and the feeling of accomplishment when you've managed a climb that's beaten you before!
    I was meant to be going bouldering yesterday but my mate couldn't make it, so i just did some balance exercises for an hour!

    ^ For me it's both. I like that climbing you can really quantify your progress because the difficulties are numbered. Also, it's so much fun that I can do more then I would working out normally. I'm not sure that I get the adrenline rush anymore because I'm fearless.

    I hope I'm not hitting on you DiaShel, but the idea of a fearless female climber is impressing me to admiration.

    I am going to the 'open water swimming' place tomorrow, but have realised that I cannot afford to join at the moment [only thirty quid], and this club's season closes this month.
    Boo.

    Have your tried drinking something like Teeccino instead? I think it's a really good substitution.

    Today I did 65 mins of aerobics/boxing.

    I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago; I was fairly sure that the headaches would stop [they did], but I was extra happy about my hip 'pain' fading to ignorable. I consumed plenty of water while I was using coffee, and I replaced the coffee with caffeine tablets... so I know that I was suffering from some of the many other components of roasted coffee.

    Using caffeine tablets resulted in my using much less caffeine by the way, because the dose is clear [so long as their isn't an accident at the pill factory ].

    PS: Yoga rocks.

    I came up as sensitive to coffee but not to tea or caffeine when I was allergy tested, so it must be something they use in the processing.

    I live in the middle of the woods, its beautiful to be able to get out and walk through the forrest. The health benefits of it is almost secondary to the beauty of it. I consider myself blessed.

    I just did some traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu for the first time. It was interesting - maybe not overly effective but still nice training. Seems to have an emphasis on wrist locks, something we don't use in BJJ.

    There are lots of other substances in coffee, some good, some bad, and one which gives me pain. No doubt some stuff is added during processing, but roasting the coffee changes things aswell.

    When I was a teenager, I thought "aerobics" was for girls...
    I have been to a few different kinds of musical jumpercise now, and they can be very thorough workouts.

    I went cycling today for about 1 hour, the weather is still so beautiful here,- I like to be outside when the weather's like this doing some kind of activity,- I don't know what I'm going to do in the winter when its cold outside I don't like cycling in the rain and wind. I also did a circuit training class in the gym,- I think i lost 2lb this week

    Yeah, aerobics sounds a bit lame but these are more like work outs so rather than say "I did a work out dvd" I just say aerobics but they're not really. I have 4 of the Davina McCall dvds and most of the work outs involve boxing, kicking, interval training etc

    I did 45 mins on Thursday, a 55 min walk on Friday and then I carried a lot of heavy stuff back and forth at our bake sale on Sat and spent the day on my feet. My arms are still sore so I didn't exercise yest'day but I am considering doing some this arvo.

    I was really sore from climbing all day on Saturday so I did a yoga class. No one else showed up so I had a private lesson. It was really good. I never stretch and now I know I should do it more. Then I felt good enough to climb for about an hour. I'm still sore.

    It turns out I probably have Osteomalacia or whatever it is called due to always being covered up outside...haha turns out my "omg cancer" routine might have given me bad bones. XD Can't win.

    http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6058/6058.asp

    So as part of my fit and healthy routine I've been finding vegan versions of the supplements. I've found calcium, but can I find a vitamin D supplment 20 to 50 ug?! NO.

    The Veg 1 supplement I am going to buy for the B12 etc only has 10 ug. So I pref need another supplement of 10ugs. lol Oh, found one! yay

    It doesn't help that it is nearly Winter, so can't just go outside for 30 minutes uncovered. lol

    I have to take extra Vitamin D to speed up the healing process, i'll find out more (HAHA yeah right) when I go for my check up.

    I ordered the Veg 1 supplements last night, I just need a top up for the VD as Veg 1 only has 10 in and I need 20.
