Well not really, I still haven’t heard from the job I interviewed for last Thursday even though they said I wouldn’t heard before Monday. Well hello it’s now been a week! I also had a rather crap gym session this morning. In better news though I got 87% for my K217 EMA but my crappy…

Me & exercise
I don’t think me & exercise get along. I like to exercise sure but I don’t have any gym/running friends so think that makes it harder for me. Sometime in 2012 I joined the local leisure centre planning to use their gym & take classes. I never once stepped foot in the door. I cancelled…
Being an expat
Ok so I’ve never been an expat and never will, my age and lack of qualifications put a stop to that, but I’ve always dreamed of moving to the USA or Australia. I just never did anything about it early enough in my life 🙁 You’d think being a commonwealth country it would be easy…

I went to the races
Not the horse races but the slot car races. Two Saturdays ago me & Keith went along to Brighton’s open market for a day of showing of our track to the locals. It was fun & neither of us had ever been to that market before, in fact we’d never been to that part of…
Dieting & fitness
So I was going to just write a post just about the fad diets the ladies at work are on, but then I came across a post my Ashley about personal trainers. Here in the UK gym instructors/personal trainers have very little training. You can take a level 2 or 3 certificate in gym…

10/06 workout
So I did just cardio on the 10th, my legs were still sore from the day before I think it’s best not to do it 2 days in a row. I went on the spin bike for 5 mins then onto the threadmill, ending with some stretches. I’d also done 1 mile before this in…
09/06 workout
So I went to the gym right after work this afternoon. I hoped to play around with the power rack, to sort out positioning, weight etc and thankfully no-one else was using it 🙂 I sorted out the positioning for squats and did 4×8 with just the bar (20kg). I was unable to lift the…
