It’s fair to say that all of us swimmers would like to swim faster or at least a little easier. We’ve tried talking about swimming, looking at swimming videos, even taking swimming lessons. Trying everything from a high elbow catch to kicking a bit faster. Well now there’s a way guaranteed to make all of us swim faster. It’s not about doing anything in the water, it’s about what you do on dry land. It’s about how you eat. It’s about being vegan. I know that’s a surprise. I was the last person from being vegan I can possibly imagine. But eight weeks ago I decided to go vegan, and I’ve had some very surprising results. I feel better, look healthier, and am much more emotionally balanced. But don’t take my word for it. The best athletes in the world are turning vegan. From Roger Federer and Serena Williams in tennis to the most powerful bodybuilders and power lifters in the world, to sprinters & Olympic athletes. Have a look at the GameChangers movie on Netflix.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSpglxHTJVM It explains how vegan eating makes you stronger and faster. Even Arnold Swartzenegger is a now vegan. Here are some of our vegan and non vegan swimmers from this morning.
Have a game changing day…

The Monthly Dinner – 12th November 2019 – It’s all about courage
The Next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 12th November at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest on the night will be Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA FRSN, who is one of only 5 Australians in the past 44 years to be awarded the Cross of Valour (CV), Australia’s highest bravery decoration. Allan will speak about “What is the rarely recognised element of courage and why is it so important today?” Is courage about overcoming fear? willingness to risk your all, an inner strength? perhaps it is about choice, leaving a place of safety to go to a place of danger? But how often do we consider courage is about the willingness to care. In his talk Al Sparkes will touch on the times he has had to be courageous to help others and the times he stopped caring about himself. And what he did to recover his life from the pits of hell.
Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential. To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book at www.boldandbeautifulmanly.com.au/bb-bluewater-monthly-dinner.html

The cover shot!! I can’t believe it. After your years of promise and the feeling of utter deflation when I realised it was just another week of empty promises, I finally made it. So I look forward to 2027 when i may again be considered for such a worthy inclusion.

The B and B blog is a lot like Vogue. There’s lots of competition for the front cover. But our editors couldn’t turn down your charm and boys good looks. We are hoping it will raise a circulation from the normal eight likes.

Great blog Pete – while I respect my vegan friends and their dedication to the cause – be it health or humanity – not sure I could give up my juicy steak just yet. Each to their own and glad it has made a difference to you

I am not happy with Roger because he has pulled out of the ATP Cup. I bought a ticket especially to see him play

Thanks again Peter
How often did you eat meat before you became vegan?

Wow what a surprise! I thought I was the only one, happy to be proven wrong, good on you Peter 🙂 Also, making chocolate brownie isn’t hard at all and there’s new vegan products every day!

Hi Simon I ate meat two or three times a week mainly steak and chicken. The only meet A now is fresh caught Alaskan salmon. Or meat and fish gets its protein for vegetables and seaweed. In the process it takes for the animal to translate the plant protein in animal protein gives us an extra chemicals that aren’t useful for us long-term. The most apprising thing for me about the vegan diet, it’s not makes you feel. You feel much more at peace And much healthier at the same time .
