Thanks for all who supported me in #SweatWithPride & by extension our Rainbow organisations in AoNZ. Although not a podium finish, it was my best effort in 6 yrs. Yesterday I also finished working for Burnett Foundation Aotearoa (formerly NZ AIDS Foundation) after 20 years. But feeling fit! 💜💙💚🩵💛🧡❤️

Ran the calcs and apparently I could only do 30 mins/day for the rest of the month and still reach my #SweatWithPride minutes goal.

I will ofc not be doing that, because perfectionism I guess. [1/2]

It's been over two weeks already!
I was planning on doing these updates weekly, but c'est la vie. I've now: * Biked 157.69km 🚴‍♀️ * Walked 55.27km 🚶‍♀️ * Helped organise a protest against the gender definition bill, that was fun! Thanks everyone who came out and showed your support! 🫰🏻 (pic related, is me speaking over the weekend) * Logged 1145 minutes of sweat! 💦 * Raised $775 for life-changing rainbow support services 🏳️‍🌈 * Still no blisters babeyy 😎 Thank you so much to all my donors, I couldn't do this without all of your support. It means so much and I'm proud of what we've been able to achieve so far, and our solidarity is so important at times like this. We can beat the hate. No particular call to action here, but if you think all this work and all these hours is worth something, I'd really a appreciate if you'd be willing to chip in just a little, whatever you think that you can afford. Thanks so much. ~Arohanui, Erin. 💖

How much physical activity do I count four hours of setting up, packing down, facilitating, and speaking at a protest for for #sweatwithpride ?
Asking for a friend. 😂

I need to start pre-downloading music again, the whole stream-a-different-album-every-day shtick I've been doing for #sweatwithpride this month has really chewed through my phone's rollover data cap haha

Day 4 of #SweatWithPride 🌈

Managed a 4.8km walk between the rain showers.

Discrimination against rainbow people is still happening. Recently, someone yelled slurs at me from a passing car. I was okay, not everyone would.

Google Fit Afternoon walk , map with stats. The path goes from Alexandra Street to the Waikato River Walk, and along that track up past Whitiora, then back to Victoria Street. 1h 5 m Active time, 5.73km, 38 heart points. It's me in front of the large storm water outlet (which I don't know the name of) near the Whitiora Bridge. I am on a foot bridge and the tunnel it runs through is below me. You can see a fair way in and it's massive and concrete, there is some graffiti. I'm wearing black wireless headphones, a gray jacket, a black backpack, and a black top with a lace collar, as well as a pounamu in the shape of a mere. I have large black sunglasses on, and my long brown hair is tied back. I have dimple piercings. A view from the north toward Whitiora bridge, which is in the distance. It's golden hour, and the light reflecting off of the Waikato river in blue, golden foliage, and the white painted concrete of the bridge makes a nice contrast. It's a sunny, near cloudless day.

A picture of me with the stats of my lunchtime walk overlaid by Google Fit. 1h 6m active time, 6.54km, 60 heart points. I'm wearing my bright pink Sweat With Pride beanie from last year, and this year's white swp t-shirt, a black hoodie, and black Bluetooth headphones. I have dimple piercings, long hair, and glasses with purple aluminium frames. I appear somewhat out of breath, and am at Frankton train station. You can just see Te Huia behind me, I could've framed this better but was on the go.

A boardwalk overlooks a vista of the peat lake. There are three ducks on the wooden railing, it's late afternoon (golden hour) and the sky and water are clear. A clump of harakeke can be seen in the midground, and more along the opposite shore. The boardwalk forms a corner, with railing on the right and ahead, and a long wooden bench on the left. A view of native vegetation and a line of tall wooden fenceposts that have been put in for the predator-proof fence, which turns a corner: first coming towards us, then continuing left to right from centre frame. There are more fenceposts lying on the ground in the left foreground, and a gravel track on the far side of the fence in progress. The sky is clear and the light has a golden hue. It's me, Erin. I am a fat, light skinned Pākehā trans woman in her 30s with black headphones and large dark sunglasses on. I'm smiling and have dimple piercings. My long brown hair is tied back and I am wearing a grey zip-up hoodie with black edging and a white Bleeders t-shirt which is barely visible. You can just see the top of the pounamu (greenstone) I wear around my neck. In the glass of the bus stop behind me you can see the reflection of the park entrance area and viewing tower, as well as a large cabbage tree (tī kōuka). A map of the route I took around the park.

Day 30 of ##SweatWithPride. A kind friend gave me 2 hrs respite from 24/7 cares to run. I didn't make my 30 June 20km goal, but ran until dark came at 14km. Today's run was for every name I've carried, but also specially for David (via @dejanajuk.bsky.social) & for @missyerem.bsky.social's beloveds
A wintry sea view across dunes thriving with green grass and red dots of salvia, white dots of osteospermum, shocks of troll-hair tussocks. The white foam line is strong, the sea pewter, the sky cloudmist. Low hills flank the horizon, opaque with distance. Rippled pale sand and a wintering sea, dark hills beyond a fierce foam line. In the sand, the name 'David' is written in flowing letters, somehow both animate and alone. Rippled, pale sand, a wintry chop of sea and low hills in the distance. On the foreground sand is some flowy lettering: 'A (heart) A (heart) F (heart) Y' A sea view through a foreground screen of long, erratic tussock grass. A curve of winter foam line, moody water, a single island guarding the mid distance, dark and alone.

Did I hit 1,000 burpees for #SweatWithPride in June? You bet your ass. But did I ever do the elusive, hated, jump-and-clap burpee? Wait till the end to find out. (Also there's still time to donate!)
1000 burpees to raise over $1300 for our #lgbtq whānau in June. Proud of myself, proud of YOU. #sweatwithpride #sweatybetty #aotearoa #fatandfit #protecttranskids #burpees
