HAP’NINS THIS WEEK
1. First one in on Thanksgiving Monday because:
(a) I ate too much at thanksgiving dinner and had insomnia
(b) I ate too much at thanksgiving dinner and felt fat
(c) I forgot thanksgiving Monday is a stat
(d) all of the above
(e) none of the above

2. C&J practice: Dynasty Gym WOD of Oct 4. Focused on staying over bar, no crashing bar, getting under bar👍

3. Snatch practice: Dynasty Gym WOD of Oct 6. I am jumping forward! Something new to fix 😞I did move up to a weight I have not done in months. I knew the hang snatch would give me problems as I was tired by then. I did not give up and finished the set 💪

4. Such still waters. Do they run deep? 🤔

5. No stillness here. Last week’s dance class. We had a substitute teacher and she was great! SONG “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas by @buddyvr4

SOME ACCESSORIES THIS WEEK
* BTN (behind the neck) pullups

* Overhead squats
* Planks - I joined the @dynastygym plank challenge 😂My time 1:36. This is longer than I thought I would last😁

MORE AUSSIE WILDLIFE
The beautiful multi-coloured lorikeet is to Sydney what sparrows are to us. Lorikeets love spending time in bottle-brush trees because the flowers are full of nectar. The lorikeets feed on the nectar then spend the rest of the day screeching and flying around like kamikaze pilots because they are high on the sugar 😂😂😂My kind of bird🤣🤣

DIFFERENT KIND OF BIRDS - DANCE CLASS!
From 2 weeks ago. SONG “Too Easy” by Tinashe by @buddyvr4

Select photo drop from my recent trip to Sydney AUS:

1. Manly beach
2. Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, from the Royal Botanical seawalk
3. Historical site - Mrs. MacQuarie’s Chair. I’m keeping it warm for her
4. Eels in pond at Botanical Gardens checking us out for food. When they saw we had none, they left. The universal behaviour of animals 😞
5. Me and my cous. We are 1st cousins even though she has blonde hair and hazel eyes. I can see the family resemblance…. There is multi-racial-ness on my dad’s side of the family❤️
6. At the Art Gallery cafe - this is a white ibis, aka a “bin chicken” locally. We have crows, they have white ibises/ibii. (What’s the plural of ibis? 🤔)
7. View from The CIRQ bar at The Crown Sydney, the tallest building in Sydney
8. Queen Victoria Building (QVB) - this is the clock gifted by the UK on the opening of the QVB
9. At my cousin’s house learning to play mahjong 🤣Yes they all play and I sucked. My aunt is to my left and my cous is opposite the table from me. The young lady seated behind her is my late cousin’s (my cous’ late older sister’s) daughter. My aunt is the younger sister of my dad, and my cousin’s mum
10. Taronga zoo - wombat
11. Taronga zoo - Hopping kangaroo
12. Taronga zoo - koala swanning around. What a sweet life 😁
13. Taronga zoo - koala bum
14. Taronga zoo - dingo. This dingo did not get my baby as it was too busy swanning in the sun
15. Nocturnal section in the zoo - small rat-like marsupial
16. Bird show at zoo - I forgot what bird this is. It is related to the vulture. It eats emu eggs by throwing stones at them to break them open. So smart!
17. Condor - not native to Oz but was truly awesome! This bird is huge and has the 2nd largest wingspan of any bird, after the albatross
18. Very large snake. Ugh 🤢
19. The famous Bondi beach
20. My pod on the plane 👍🤗That was a boring movie I was watching (The Obsession). I think it was supposed to be a horror movie but it was too boring and not particularly horrific🥱 by @buddyvr4

RECENT STUFF
Kickboxing Week 1 vs Week 11 - definitely more power behind the kicks now and a bit more range. Still a long way to go re technique.

Squats and deadlifts - I do train legs but I’m not a fan. If someone said to me “Let’s train upper body” I get excited. If they said “Let’s train legs” I look for the nearest exit 😂😂🤣 by @buddyvr4

SHENANIGANS LAST WEEK
1. Was doing kipping pullups before my shoulder injury. Have to start from the beginning again😁Some decent beat swings.

2-5. Oh lordy, so many things wrong with the feet…😩Can I blame my shoes? 😂

6-7. Worked harder on correct feet execution. They do look better than the C&J, but pause snatches - who invented those? Hang snatches are bad enough, now we have to pause? Ugh!! 😂

8. And now for some fun. First class with new teacher so trying to get used to her style and choreography. I looked stiff throughout but I did have fun 🤣🤣. SONG - Gogoya by Enola Bedard by @buddyvr4

DANCE CLASS TODAY
1. This is a routine we did several weeks ago and back by popular demand (via voting) as it is our teacher’s final class with us 😢. “Down On Me” by Jeremih ft. 50 Cent

2. And this is how the pros do it 👍👏👏My teacher (in front in the heels) with their 3 teaching assistants.

3. Pic with my teacher. I am so going to miss them. Thanks to them, I now know how to “throw my hips” 😂They have created a beautiful and accepting community. They will be missed by many😢

4. That is my elbow and it is up👍👊Vive le Canada, mon pays, mon coeur ❤️🇨🇦 by @buddyvr4

WILDLIFE HAP’NIN’S
This flock of really small birds fly through my patio almost every afternoon at spprox. the same time. They are about the size of my bay leaves! 🤗 Where are they going every day?! 🤔 by @buddyvr4

Time for entertainment and laughs 😂
DANCE CLASS - as much as I love my weightlifting and kickboxing classes, I love my dance class the most. Always a screeching amount of fun.
Last weekend: “Man Eater” by Nelly Furtado
Two weekends ago: “No Broke Boys” by Disco Lines & Tinashe

SHAKIN’S IN THE MAGICAL GARDEN
Blueberries!!
1. Haul from one day, but I am competing with birds who are helping themselves to the berries because…
2. Beak mark in a blueberry
3. No worries though, there are still more to come! 🤗 by @buddyvr4

PRACTICE THIS WEEK
Feet execution looks better in the cleans. Snatches not so much but they are better than before. My heels look like they are off the floor but I think if I had proper lifting shoes I would not see this. Tried a friend’s lifting shoes last week and they made a big difference. Will look into getting a pair 👍

Still lots to work on - hideous clean pull, trying not to dip again after the pause dip, hang snatches in general ugh! 🫣🤦🏻‍♀️😂

WILDLIFE HAP’NINS
Caught a song sparrow using my birdbath. Watch with sound on to hear it splashing away. It did a thorough job👍Somewhere in our midst is a squeaky clean song sparrow🤗💕 by @buddyvr4

I’m baaack at my dance class! Been away for 4-6 weeks coz life gets busy. Missed it very much. Sad to learn that our instructor @lauraxkirchner will be leaving. I will miss them so much😢They created a wonderful community that reflects my spirit. Think air-kisses and hugs for greetings🤗and absolute acceptance. Bonus for me today - a gorgeous man behing me dancing in heels. I love love love that, mwah❤️

Watch video with sound on for max entertainment. SONG - Rude Boy by Rihanna

For having so much fun, I treated myself to a drink that my cardiologist would approve of for me 😁 by @buddyvr4

From my docuseries HOWD’YA GET THAT, where the answer is rarely what you think. Episode “Double-unders”. Got myself real good today and yes it hurt. What hurt more was getting myself across the toes, but no-one needs to see that 😂

WILDLIFE HAP’NINS - none today. I guess they are hiding from the heat. So smart. So let’s peer in the magical garden to see what’s shakin’……

CHIVE FLOWERS - I love chive flowers. I grow chives for the flowers and not for the chives💕

THYME FLOWERS - very pretty, but I grow thyme for the thyme and not the flowers💐 by @buddyvr4

This is not a high-tech sports bra. I had an abnormal ECG this year and got my holter monitor today. The biomed tech that fitted me with the monitor was so nice and lovely. Support our frontline workers, especially those in healthcare. They truly are angels on earth 😇

MODS AT THE GYM
* planned snatch high pulls for warmup but had to abandon as the bar would hit the monitor’s data collection thing
* planned heavy squats and brought my belt for that purpose. Quickly found out I needed to somehow “adhere” the data collection thing to my body if I am to workout at all. Used belt
* as belt now used to attach data collection thing to my body and keep it immobile, did tomorrow’s deadlifts today. Will do the squats tomorrow after completion of holter monitor test
* although I was dying of heat, I kept my shirt on all session as a person walking around with blinking electrodes can be quite concerning 😂 by @buddyvr4
