Skin

I had a blister on my foot and the skin has just come off, isn't it surprising how soft new skin is? It is truly amazing.

That is my insight for the day.

I have been cleaning out my cupboards today in anticipation of the frame arriving at Ikea (*crosses fingers, legs and eyes*).

I got out three full black bags of stuff that I don't wear, thus I have one empty bridging unit and three empty drawers, well two drawers and one shelf.

So, I have to put the stuff back but that will be done later.

Er..that's all from my fascinating life.

Also, I may have to restart cardio soon and I need to send my graduation letter off.

Cardio gets results


My fat hands will be the death of me..
Anywho, this should serve as enough motivation.

Cardio Week Two

Well, I am on week two of cardio and it is going a-ok.

Up to 25 mins three times a week and I swear I am dying of water-loss or something of the like.

I had a shower and I was parched, I was nearly tempted to drink the shower water but I didnae!

25 mins is kinda hard but I get old Freddie on and I am off.

That is all for today.

Also, went to cousin's house on Friday for her birthday party and once again the hair cutting subject was brought up, just because I want long hair I must be oppressed by mes parentinos. I tend to agree, not because it is true but because it is easier to agree as I don't get any satisfaction out of defending what my parents do. I know how they treated me when I was a child, I know how they treat me now, will arguing about it change? No, so for all intents and purposes you can assume that my parents keep me on lockdown, even though I don't live at home any more?

The fat, wannabe emo still wants a tattoo but her Dad has told her that she isn't allowed as only whores and uneducated fools have them *ahem*. I am mega proud of my Dad for what he said in response to that, hehehehe.

This truly is it.

Copycats

Why must some people always try to emulate what you do?

I know that they say that it is the best form of flattery but I bet "they" have never been copied.

I know certain people who steal all the words I use (Yes, I have my own words as my mates knows) and then use them back on me or state that I copied them, even though they have NEVER used those words before. I also know people who latch onto everything I am in love with and then try to claim that they were onto it before I was and tell everyone that I am the one copying them.

Why try and be me? Do I copy anybody else? No.

Tis seriously beginning to piss me off.

On another note, I needs some help, I have some music that is in WMA format and I need to change it into mp3 format so if anyone knows how to do that, do let me know.

That is all that I have to report from Mayfair this afternoon, the sun is shining and I am happy as I have done my cardio share for the week (though I may carry it on for five days as it's no longer the chore it once was..maybe I should start doing it for longer!) Man, I spoke to soon, some fucker's alarm is going off, how the hell can you not hear that and realise it is yours?! Idiots.

Also, need to go to the hospital this evening so I better scrub up, might even meet a fit doctor..muwahahahahahahahaha.

I feel a bit odd today, my stomach is hurting though that tis to be expected due to it being the time of the month but apart from that, I have a separate pain inside, I can't locate it..strange, seeing as I am happy about everything APART FROM THAT BASTARD ALARM!

I think that is all.

My Fitness Plan

So I have decided to tone up a bit and I started today, I tried coming up with excuses to get out of exercising whilst I was brushing my teeth but having found a note pasted to the cross trainer telling me to get my arse in motion, I decided it was now or never.

So, I got into my exercising outfit (some gym bottoms and an olddd Adidas hoody) and put the headphones in my ears.

I decided to start on 20 minutes because I thought I might chicken out (I really don't know what my problem is, back when I HAD to lose weight I was doing 40 mins a day, but that was in two sittings and I don't fancy doing that again as the waiting around annoys me, I want to cardio, then shower). Anywho, I think I am going to work up every two weeks, i.e. 20 mins for these two weeks, then 30, then 40, by then my resistance should be ok as I am doing more distance training than strictly calories.

Anywho, in true fashion, I digress..I got the iPod out, stuck the earphones in my ears and onto the machine I went..

I must say that for once, the time flew by..I cardio'd my way though the following songs:

  • Somebody Told Me - The Killers
  • You're All I Have - Snow Patrol
  • You Give Me Something - James Morrison (I tell a lie, this was changed after about 10 seconds as tis too slow to do cardio too)
  • Sonnet - The Verve
  • Lucky Man - The Verve (twice)

The last two songs are my true cardio songs, they do something to me that makes me just work that much harder, quite a few songs are like that, maybe I should put them into one playlist and cardio to them..that IS an idea BUT my speakers on my computer have still not been fixed and thus I shall have to stick to what I have as shuffling the songs is too risky as the ones I want are likely to not come up.

The good thing about the two Verve songs mentioned above is that they start off quiet-ish and then build up, then they lapse a bit and when you need that something to get you through the sluggish bit of cardio, the song picks up. I also find that Fake Tales of San Francisco by the Arctic Monkeys is the same kinda thing. Also, as I do the distance cardio, the endings of songs become important as you can travel half a kilometre on the cross trainer on the fading out of one song..now the two Verve songs mentioned above and the Monkeys' song both trail out for a while and thus tis easy to go further whilst listening to them.

Depending on how I feel, I might do 5 days a week this week, though I am thinking to do 3 days a week, 5 days a week, 3..5..3..5.

Also, I was worried how my hair would look cut short but thanks to camera-vision I can now see as I simply flipped the other side over and I looked OK-ish, now just to get my self down to Salon B to see what is it like in there, then to grow some balls and get it cut..BUT I checked my hair last night and it has gone UNDER the boobage, I waited so long for it to grow this long and it seems harsh to cut it, but I need a new style for work and also, tis only the top bits that will get cut, I still retain some length!

This is all..

Actually, no..I took pics for the second entry into that BBC competition, one or two came out OK but I had to make do with stuff I didn't really want as a first choice but due to stuff happening, I shall have to take my first choice pic tomorrow/this weekend.
