So the bike is broken. Can't ride it back because the back gears keep clanging into the back wheel. So what do I do? Simple, I decide to run the 5 miles back home from work! What was surprising, was that I actually did it and in 40 minutes too. I am surprised and very pleased. Just don't ask about how I feel tomorrow! Ah well, working from home is ( Read more... )

1) Yell for a doughnut break instead of a water break ( Read more... )

My boss had an evil grin when he walked into the office this morning. Just when I was wondering how he could possibly know that I overslept this morning as I still got in before him, he set me my first task at my new promoted grade. Oh boy, it is a stinker! It is the most difficult and most boring set of documents and wire diagrams currently going ( Read more... )

I got up today covered in hair (I trimmed it last night and despite a shower there was still bits about) and I finished the day splashed in woodstain! I feel righteous ( Read more... )

It is a very good day for me to be cheerful. I worked from home this morning so naturally this meant I got a lie in and rather a lot done like bills and stag party organisation. (who does true work from home huh?!) I had a listen to the Mika album, Life in Cartoon Motion and I loved it. It is so quirky. I just have to get it onto CD and into my car ( Read more... )

I want chocolate, sweets, sugar in my coffee, doughnuts, ice cream, cakes and all the other things I seem to be denying myself at the moment. I am trying to break myself of my sugar/wheat dependency and I am suffering the withdrawal symptoms. Instead I am solely eating fruit, veg, salad, fish, beef and dust! And drinking more water and tea (again ( Read more... )

Well after a day spent trapped in meetings I was desperate for a run. And so I did and it was wonderful. Alas I have noticed the soles of my feet hurt so I am guessing I need new trainers ( Read more... )

It seems that out of all the friends here at the Easter lan party, I am still the most disciplined. I did not smoke although I did drink. I did not stuff my face with food. And I got up before everyone else and went for a run. A concept that filled the friends with horror! *Self righteous mode ( Read more... )

Why have I been away from boxercise for so long? I felt very slow and unfit, but oddly enough I didn’t come out of the session feeling tired. I still felt like I had done something though which is good. Even better, my sparring partner was pretty surprised at the height I was getting in my kicks, obviously the flexibility is still there but I just ( Read more... )

I just suffered a wardrobe malfunction in the office! I plugged a music DVD into my computer and then just as I was bending down under the desk to plug the headphones into the back of the computer I heard a ripping sound and suddenly my arse felt quite breezy. Yep you guessed it, I had split the seam of my trousers and there was a huge gaping hole ( Read more... )
