Played some Just Dance as part of my sweat sessions yesterday, mostly because I couldn't be bothered leaving the house!
This is my first year sweating
Iβm sweating to celebrate and uplift my Rainbow whΔnau
Why Iβm Sweating with Pride
I'm taking on Sweat with Pride this June! π¦π
Right now, schools, workplaces, and even doctorsβ offices arenβt safe for many in our communityβand itβs putting lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ Kiwis face higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and STIs like syphilis, mpox, and HIV.
So, I'm fighting discrimination with perspirationβexercising 21 minutes every day in June to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.
This cause means the world to me, and Iβd be SO grateful if you could chip in to help me reach my goal. Every dollar makes a difference.
Thank you so much for your support! β€οΈ

Did some Nintendo Switch gaming yesterday, Sports was one of them. Those who grew up in the early 00's may remember the Nintendo Wii console, which had Wii Sports, well, this is the Nintendo Switch version of that. I did this and also Just Dance as my exercise yesterday π
Tried a new machine at the gym today (well, new to me anyway π). Pretty impressive for a first go, I reckon!
While I only managed to get 20 mins at the gym, I did walk a fair bit today at work (yay Monday, not!) π will try for a bit longer at the gym tomorrow!
It's nice to see Tama-nui-te-rΔ shining today after some intense Wellington weather yesterday! Snapped this during one of my two (yes, two) walks today π
The same walk where I found a fallen street sign, I also found a rainbow! Ranginui proving that while TΔwhirimatea might be having a tantrum, he'll also give you a rainbow to remind you to keep fighting! π³οΈβπβπ
Today's walk included rain, wind and a fallen street sign. Ahh, Wellington, never change!
Yesterday was a day full of running around like a headless chicken π and also three flights of these awful stairs trying to find an office, that wasn't even there in the end... Yay!
As the title suggests, I fought my brain and got into the gym for the first time in a loooong time! Have a sweaty selfie as proof that I did, indeed, go to the gym π
While I was out at work yesterday, I found this beautiful sign at the National Library in Te Whanganui-Δ-Tara (Wellington) π
Today's walk around the neighbourhood featured a Tino Rangatiratanga flag out in the wild! In a time of political turmoil, seeing this made me very happy π #toitutetiriti
Kia ora rainbow homies! Wow day one is off to a cracking start here in Wainuiomata. The clouds may be grey but my shirt is definitely not π
