Guess What I Did! (Patreon)

Hey Grizzlies!

I kicked my own ass!

I went for a swim at last! And OMG the pool is so clean and organized, I love it!

I learned to swim laps by the age of 5, did lifesaving at the age of 6 (crazy parents), was a provincial competitive swimmer from age 7-18, got a full scholarship at a private school to represent them in swimming, and was top 10 in the country (all ages) in butterfly and freestyle when I was 16. I was the youngest to qualify for senior nationals (equivalent to Olympic trials) when I was 12! Yikes! That sure came at the cost of a childhood, hehe. But I love water, so no regrets there.

Then I had to have major ear operations (I went deaf in both ears and will tell that story in a video if you don't know about it?)... and it ruined my swimming career. Then I started swimming again at age 24 and enjoyed all the swims on my days off between flying days. And from 2017-2019 I was a swimming coach for kids and adults at a prestigious swimming facility in Johannesburg, South Africa.

So long story short, I NEED to swim! It feels like home to me. It's an excellent workout too! And I really should've done this a long time ago! Oh my word.

Thank you for all your kind comments and messages. You guys inspired me to finally kick my own ass, stop making excuses, stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just get on with doing what I really want to do. The great thing is it's part of my gym contract, so by using the pool often, it's an investment and not a loss at all. : )

Happy dance!

Anything you want to kick your own ass with this week?

Let's do it Grizzlies!

Love, Gisela.
