One of the things I really enjoy, but rarely make the time to do, is cooking. I used to be more of a baker (currently obsessed with GBBO!), but back in July I was lucky enough to go on an intensive 3 day cookery course at Cookery School in London, and this is where I learned that cooking is actually really easy and...
I'm jumping on the GlossyBox wagon. Well I've actually been on it for a few months now and with each month have been meaning to blog, but just haven't got round to it. My GlossyBox arrived at work last week, but I was on annual leave so the box was waiting for me on my desk, making my return to work slightly easier!!...
So, I've managed to fail at completing the 30 Day Shred. I'm hoping all isn't lost though, and will try to pick it up again tomorrow. I watched a program last night about Victoria Pendleton, and when I was watching it, realised that that's what I want, to be really good (not just good or very good) at something. To have the drive...
So I've been very bad and missed 2 days!! And it was really hard to do tonight, but I'm so glad I did! Still finding it challenging, but I'm able to do the majority of the work and tonight especially I am very finishing very sweaty and physically worn out! (and I'm not a sweaty person!) Only 4 more days of level 1!...
I've just completed day 5 and I'm very very pleased to say that I completed 98% of everything. Still can't master those damn push ups, although did a full set of the half ones. And with the side lunges I can only do one arm raise at a time. But I'm so pleased to be actually seeing a difference in my performance. Although...
So now I'm really starting to feel a difference in my capability to do the routine. I didn't do the routine in Friday as my legs still felt quite stiff, but in hindsight perhaps it would have actually loosened my muscles slightly. I did the workout first thing on Saturday morning and it was really good. Instead of feeling exhausted I felt quite...
OK, I didn't do a workout last night. I think that's reasonable though as I was having significant difficulty actually putting one foot in front of the other (and oh my, stairs were a killer). It's very tempting to have another "rest day" today as my legs are still aching, but I know that I NEED to get back on it today, otherwise...
I was completely dreading day 2. I was aching and thought it would be impossible to complete. However, I managed to complete most of the exercises and didn't feel like I was about to die quite as much as I did the day previous. I also used heavier weights as I didn't think I was pushing myself quite as much as I could....
So, I got the DVD and read the back cover, and thought "20 minutes, how hard can it be?". Turns out, quite hard. I can't really put my finger on why I found it so difficult, but at the end I was totally exhausted and today I'm aching terribly. I ended the workout feeling really worked out on my legs, but I have...
In my family for Mothers Day and Fathers day, that's always extended to our grandparents as well as our parents. So, on this Fathers Day, I want to say thank you to my amazing dad, who's always been there for me, through thick and thin. He's such an inspiration to me and I aspire to be like him. And also I want to...
I haven't blogged in ages!! The thought "oh, I'll start a blog", is much easier than the reality. I find it amazing that people are able to blog evey day and aspire to do this myself!! But, I guess an important thing is to not blog for bloggings sake - but instead for record interesting and important events and thoughts. I think this is...
As you'll know if you read my previous post, I was thinking long and hard about what phone to upgrade to. Well, I made my decision and I'm pleased to report that I'm now the proud owner of.....an iPhone!! My plan was to use a giffgaff sim card, which I must admit I thought was good value. However, I ordered said free sim...
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S and am due an upgrade, but cannot decide whether to go for the Galaxy S3 (to be launched in approximately 72 hours time) or whether to go with an iPhone 4S. I've done a lot of research and in all honesty, I think the Galaxy S2 wins, and from what I've read, the S3 only sounds...
Ok, so my first post...a little about me. I'm a web developer by day (and by night sometimes!!). I love satay sauce, the stars and films that are based on real life events. The aim of this blog is to record things that I've taken ages to find, in order to remind when when I inevitably forget and hopefully to help others along...
