A day in the life of *Saski* - Woohoo! What a good'un! :)

[*Saski*]

ooh thats half a mile and a bit well done Sas! thats almost 2AP! (i am assuming you swam about 1 length per minute so therefore exercised for 34 minutes, and also that you class swimming as low intensity )

Awesome that's ace thanks very much. I am aiming to increase it by 2 every time i swim. Yeh i'd say low intensity. I am actually really getting into it. Only problem is i hate water going in my nose. I can cope in the eye but up the nose is not what i'm after.

So tell me genius lady how did you reach this figure for my AP's so i can do it for future swimming related activities xxx

 

[*Saski*]

Hey Saski! .. Ive just read a little bit of your diary and the swimming thing, and thought wow! check you thats amazing (i went for the first time in over a yr tonight and manages 12 lengths )

I was chuffed till i just read what Rach put haha! ... they make ya work for them aps dont they! ...

Awww thanks my love that's very sweet of you. I am pleased to be able to do it so easily. I dunno if you read but i had an accident last October and cracked my hip so have since struggled with a lot of the sports i used to do. But swimming is fab and i always feel really good after going which is always a bonus.

Well the main thing is is that you went. 12 laps is definitely better than 0 laps and indeed 11. Give it a couple of weeks and you will be flying!!! Well swimming but doing lots of it..... ok so i should probably stop. But yeh swimming is good xxx

its in our team thread - i posted it just before

(your weight in lbs) x (time spent exercising in minutes) x

0.000232 for low intensity
0.000327 for medium intensity
0.0008077 for high intensity

best to round DOWN to nearest half AP, but you earned 1.94, and how depressing is that to have to round down?!

Ah you see i really should pay more attention shouldn't I. I can live with 1.5AP i will have to do an extra couple of minutes next time . But then i will won't i if i'm doing 2 more laps. The swimming can make up for my dismal display on my pedometer. Hope you have a good day my lovely. xxx

Wow that's awesome! How exciting When does term start? ICT will be cool and you will have a lot of flexibility i would have thought as ICT teachers are so in demand. I think i'm going with KS2 age group. It's all very exciting though. xxx

Hey charly. I certainly don't know a lot that's for sure.

Hair in pools is amoung the most hideous thing ever. I don't seem to have had any problems so far but i will definitely look out for it xxx thanks for the heads up.

omg i totally hate that! really turns my stomach! i hate it worse when the odd one gets caught in my fingers when i'm swimming.. i really freak out haha

evening Saski, just popping in to tell you i am making the most of my last 42 minutes of today too hope you've had a lovely day xxx

I'm glad. Quite frankly i'd be disappointed if you hadn't made the most of it xxx

Especially when you can feel it but can't find it to pull it off!

I know eh it's hideous. *cringe* xxx

Hello my love. Aww Norwich is all sunny without me sad times. I miss it so. Awesome yeh the weather had better be good for you birthday.

On the walking front i wouldn't worry i never would have done at work either as i was sitting down the whole time. I just tried to do a little more at the weekend. Hope you side is doing okay. xxx

 

[*Saski*]

morning Sas, hows things? did you have a good day yesterday?

hope you're alright xxx

Good morning my dear. I had a lovely day yesterday thanks for asking. Hope you did too. xxx

 

[*Saski*]

Good afternoon my lovelies. I hope you are having a good day.

I've not really done too much today to be honest. Although i am currently having a nightmare trying to get my damage deposit back from my letting agents. They are trying to charge us for taking things that were never even in the house. The numpties!

Yesterday i had a good day i went into town with one of my friends and we just walked around while putting the world to rights then went for a coffee. I managed to rake up 4.5 APs in the process though so feel like i earnt my coffee.

However we went to dinner last night at a family friends house and there was sooo much food. I did my best to be sensible but i kept having food piled on my plate.... I did only have fruit for pudding though so i could have been much naughtier....

It'll be okay though because i can go on damage control for the rest of the week as WI isn't till Monday.

Also i thought you all should know i haven't been on my scales since Monday!!! A small miracle for the worst scale hopper of all time. Yay me!!

Much love to you all. x x x

Hey chick

How you doing? I hope you get your deposit back. Landlords are one thing I don't miss. When I was at uni I had a nightmare landlord in 2nd year who tried to keep my deposit, she was a lawyer and started spouting all this rubbish to me, well I dug my heels in and got my money back! Cheeky moo!

Well done on only having fruit for pudding. I know I couldn't do that so you are a better person than me!

Hope you have a lovely evening chick
