Post Christmas quickie

I thought I would post a quick post as I haven’t done one for you guys for a couple of days. First thing I would like to mention is that I am chuffed that this blog is inspiring others to blog themselves or reflect on their lifestyles and the way they lead it. I am mentioning this after having conversations with various people that I have connections to. I would want to thank a guy called Ian and my sister for me to get into blogging. For Ian, I have lost contact with him and his blog I believe is no longer around but he is the person who inspired me to do blog posts myself. I think I first got in contact with him though this strange MSN Messenger robot thing but my memories fading away about that. Anyway I think he had a Livejournal and I decided to create one myself. I found my sister’s Livejournal at one point and that also made me think about doing it myself.  From that it evolved into this.  So thanks to them and anyone else that maybe got me to this point in the blogging world.

I suppose I should say something about Christmas. I loved having all the family together as I haven’t seen some family members for months, the presents was a nice bonus extra. On the day, I felt that my dad was at times saying remarks that wound me up alittle but that all I am going to mention here as thinking about it winds me up. I was annoyed that a game I brought as a present didn’t work after all the effort I put in to getting it. Shit happens though and you just have to move with the times as the saying goes.

I think that I could wish for many things in my life but I learnt something. Aiming for things is okay as it only drives you forward to get the goal you want but you not going to get it if you sulk and get all sad that you haven’t yet got it. I know sometimes you have no choice but to be upset but when you have a choice to just keep going, I am going to take it. I have been really worn down in recent months with events with health in the family but as the family health improves, the more I feel happier and in focus as I was before. I am not sure if that makes any sense as I am writing this half one in the morning but if it does have the meaning I meant it to have, its all good.

I hoped to do a year review like I did before once but I am unsure that I will manage to do it before new year. I still have some overdue assignments left that I need to fit in so I will be doing them when I can. I am looking forward for tomorrow and I hope I won’t have the same boredom and loneliness I had today.

Stuffed with pizza and tape

I just eaten Dominos as I was soo lazy and didn’t want to get out of my chair to cook something. I ordered a medium pizza, then two garlic breads and two chicken strippers. Who said I wasn’t hungry, I eat loads and have aims to gain loads. That not going to happen if I don’t be extreme sometimes. I currently have Shiny Toy Guns blasting into my earphone but don’t worry it isn’t too loud as I learnt the hard way that it takes ages for hearing to return if you do that too often. Before I was listening to this I had Alphabeat latest album playing as it been released in their homeland. I really love both of them muchly, it good to chill out with some music that have some beats in it in sometimes and reflect on the day.

What I am reflecting about today you ask me (with a Santa hat on as you have the festive feeling)? Well first I have to mention about yesterday. I finally got a haircut as it got mega long and I mean so long that it started covering my eyes. I was very tempted to find then print a cute guy hair style from a tumblr and ask for their haircut as it was long enough to do what I wanted but as I was only having the haircut as somebody else cancelled I just had my normal cut. After that I headed into Didcot. It was worthwhile trip as I had the nicest hot chocolate from Boswells with cake then I had my first shopping spree in Body Shop. I made the mistake of mentioning hair wax as she nicely brought out the whole range and told me how to use each one which I actually enjoyed. I only intended to get one thing but I ended up with loads and had to get my mom to fund me with more money. I was happy that she gave me more. :P

Let focus on to today. My mother was scared of going out in the cold with ice everywhere as she have massive fears of falling over so I went with her to the town centre to help her. I love popping into the local perfume shop as it like going into time machine. Proper oak surroundings. Anyway I was in there because my mom needed something for my dad’s present. It was a great excuse for me to smell all of the latest manly smells. After that I popped into WHSmith cause I won a book token from the college that I wanted to use. I brought two autobiography’s, Chris Evens plus Ant & Dec. They are the only sort of book  I read and its people that have a media career. I can’t wait to hear about working at Radio 1 and ITV1.

This evening I have wrapped presents I forgot to wrap last night. I only have one present per a family member as I am skint and had to beg for moneys to get them. I seriously need to work somewhere as I feel bad living out of my parents pockets all of the time and want to be more independent. I don’t want to be busy with work though and mess my grades for college though. I am not good with balancing that type of stuff. My sister came down for Christmas which is nice but I was well worried she was going to slide her car on the ice. She noticed the gift I had forDad was badly wrapped and it bugged her so she kindly rewrapped it for me. :)

Nothing I want to say..

My life going fine I suppose now, there nothing exciting going on right now. I haven’t been invited to anything so I’m just doing stuff around the house that needs doing. how boring. I know I could make a effort by calling mates up and asking if they want to do something but I haven’t been that fond of doing that myself. Everything will sort itself out once I have a car. No seriously I bet there be loads of people I don’t even know wanting lifts, however I won’t do that, I just be like anybody want a trip into whenever when I feel like it.

College have finished for Christmas now and I’m rather glad. I am fed up with the course as it is and was getting annoyed however I am just going to do it whilst trying not take notice how badly run it currently is. Least I have finished the hardest assignment and I can get the others done before I return without much effort.

I have seem to lost the addiction to posting my life on this blog, and I don’t know if thats a bad thing or not. I will just record things like Disneyland Paris, and other major trips out like that from now on. My tumblr will be carried on being updated which you can access in the links in the header.

Joining the gym

The gym sent me a text today about referring friends to them to have 12 days of free gym use and it reminded me of what I wrote for a eassy. I’m posting it here for you guys to read.

Recently my mates started going to the gym and they encouraged me to join as well. I have never been to a gym before and was a bit worried that it might not be something I liked very much, but as I needed to get fitter and needed a social outlet I agreed to do the trial session and see what it was like.

Dressed in my tracksuit and trainers I turned up on the day and was asked to fill in some forms which asked about what I wanted to get out of using the gym and also my medical history. Once these were completed the instructor discussed what I had written. He then weighed me and worked out my BMI.

Then I was taken round the equipment and shown how to use it effectively and safely. Some of the machines were to work on strength and some to improve cardio-vascular output. Every few weeks there is a review so you can go over how you are doing and if you want to change what equipment you use, with proper advice as to how to use it properly and safely.

I booked and did three gym sessions with a instructor as part of the induction so they could calculate my routine. Since finishing these sessions, I been hooked to the place ever since.

Before starting to exercise you are encouraged to warm up and do some stretches. This is so you don`t injure yourself whilst doing a routine.

My typical routine is that I first warm up on the exercise bike for around ten minutes, but most days it end up to overall doing six minutes on it. Then my super set begins. For people who don’t know what a super set is, it when you do a certain number of sets on one machine and do another amount of sets on a different machine, and then go back and forth the two machines a certain amount of times.

I particularly like the rowing machine which makes me feel really good after I have been rowing for thirty minutes. I also like using the machines which help me develop some muscle such as the Bicep / Tricep machine, Body Press, and etc.

I have been pleasantly surprised about how good I have felt after a session in the gym. I think that the reason I feel so good is that it helps get rid of my stress. I have been told it produces endorphins which are the bodies natural feel good hormones. This is prefect after a day of college to release the stress that built over the day.

I am glad I took my mates up on the offer of joining the gym and intend making it something I will make time for in my daily life for a long time. It’s only a hour of a day which makes improves your mood. Before going I didn’t realise how varied the people who go are and that the atmosphere would be okay.
