PAD

The wonderous Strand LBX. Yes, that is a golf ball. No, its not a control for a Lego motorised toy.

Yoga

So, me, doing Yoga?!

Mad right? The skinny girl who hardly ever exercises out of choice mostly because my job is pretty damn physical! But i figure that i can't rely on work for exercise, Show call is not condusive to fitness, too much sims on the sofa.
So, this week while i've had the mornings free with Attempts work in the afternoon/evening i've been playing with Yoga. I found this great DVD; Yoga for Dummies, which is so very very like a spoof video that i enjoy watching it and I've so far done half an hour of Yoga the last 3 days. AND myself and chiropractor sarah are going to a class at LA fitness on sunday.
So far (gosh every paragraph begins with So doesn't it?) I am enjoying it, i've been a little less stiff each afternoon, and i've done a few more of the 'Daily Dozen' ending today with the full dozen performed before 11am! Woo!

Lets see if i can keep this up! (Like the blogging)

Nomasdae! (Fuck knows if thats how its spelt!).

PAD thats blown it!

Here's todays Photo a Day, at some point i'll post a link to all the others i have taken, its always a battery issue at the end of the day that stops me posting these!
Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8

Maybe...

...just maybe, one day when i say i'll keep up with my blog, ill keep up with it.
I mean, i seem to have had a lot more to say when i was 18/19 than i do now at 25.
Or is it merely that i'm now stupidly busy and pretty much live in a theatre?
For example, this week I'm working 1pm til 10pm. My routine the last 2 days has been:
10am(ish) get-up and attempt some Yoga (more on that later)
11am(ish) shower, do random household chores washing up etc.
12pm eat, watch ground force whilst playing Sims.
1240pm leave for work.
11pm get home from work after consuming a fake beer in the bar (More on that later). Play some sims or watch TV.
1230am go to bed.

Sure i could get up earlier and get more in, but i like sleeping til 10 its the only way i really feel like ive had enough sleep. I WISH i was someone who got up at 8am no matter what they were doing, people who get a morning as well as an extra bit of evening.
Anyway, i ramble.
I shall post about Yoga and alcohol free beer later. (No i'm not pregnant, just a bit broken.)
With my current track record, the yoga post will be december and the beer one sometime in 2012

Return of the Em.

Hello Blogging-World! (or probably just Kate actually)

it's been a bloody long time since i've posted on here. could it be due to lack of desk? or merely laziness? or perhaps 'cause i'm always at work?

well anyway, i figure as i'm doing this wonderous Photo A Day journal thingy, that i shall do a monthly blog post with all included.

and you never know... maybe i'll post some more now i've cleared off the desk.
