32 isn’t a bad start



lose weight
Untitled 1 month ago

I’ve recently started swimming twice a week and am building up my number of lenghts. Am thinking about joining the gym altho I find it incredibly boring.
People from work are doing a half marathon in June which I’d love to be able to do but am not confident that I’ll be in a good enough condition to do it



Give blood
waiting to donate 1 month ago

I had a tattoo done at the end of June so I have to wait 6 months until I can donate.
I’ve researched it tho and found my local place.
Something to do at the beginning of the year
