Train Dirty

The past month ♥️

50 lengths front crawl!!! 🤭🥳💪🏻
I woke up this morning and hadn’t slept well. I thought, shall I rearrange my swim today? I had that brief thought but then didn’t give myself the option to follow it through. And I am SO glad I went!


The pool was busy cos of the weather, but it was PERFECT. Hot air, bright sun, cold water and lots of happy people getting their lengths in. It sounds silly, but I’ve always felt I’m where I should be when I’m swimming. I absolutely love it and I’m so glad I’m able to start doing it again. A few adjustments to my stroke to keep my shoulders happy, and my kick board practice has helped so much. I felt so fast and powerful today. I love it ♥️

July so far 💕

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary to the best parents we could ever ask for 🩷 Hope you had a lovely weekend until we can do the proper celebration ✨ Love you so so much. Thank you for all you have ever done and continue to do for us all. You mean the world to us and every moment together means everything ♥️

June-July 😍

The end of May to now, finished with the best weekend 🥰💕

As females, we are taught from a very young age to tear apart every single aspect of our bodies and to hate them at every possible opportunity. This was the first time where I’ve been on holiday since being comfortable in my body that I actively noticed how much I was picking apart my own. And not even in a self conscious way. I am perfectly at peace with my body; finally. I don’t love every single time I look in the mirror. I’m human. But this holiday was almost an epiphany of… What is this for and when does it end? Constantly criticising the way your body looks; especially in a bikini, isn’t helpful. Everyone has stretch marks. Everyone has cellulite. Everyone has scars. And skin rolls. And moles. And birthmarks. And hair. Everything is normal. So why do we spend so much of our lives telling ourselves it isn’t? I’m so done with it. This holiday I just learned to let my body be. No scrutinising it from every angle in the mirror before we went to the pool. I just put my bikini on and thought, cool. This is today. And I can’t tell you how refreshing that is. After years of self hatred and wanting my body to be so small it disappeared, this was empowering AF.


Own every single part of your body. Appreciate it. It’s the only one you get 💕

April - May 🪄
