I just need to take 20 minutes out of my day to write about myself. I quite like writing about myself really. <br /><br /><u>Eat Less</u><br />Well what happened today was a big McDonalds fail, but I managed to redeem myself by working out and having a modest dinner. McDonalds fail happened coz I was trying to impress a girl with my big engine. Not really. Actually it's not that exciting at all. What I was doing was demonstrating the fold out seats in the back of a Volvo V70, which nearly led to someone losing a hand. Ah well. Not a real fail, have still consumed fewer than 1300 net calories today - woo hoo.<br /><br /><u>Move More</u> <br />Work out was 40 minutes on cross trainer, followed by 7 mins on treadmill. Had to abandon the running because my lower leg pain flared up - think I should wear the white trainers to the gym from now on. I can run/jog pretty solidly for 2 minutes at a time though. This is a real improvement. Also up to level 9 on the cross trainer. Found it quite hard going at first and I think it might be something to do with the minimal amount of medication in my body. Panic attacks have stopped though so this can only be a good thing.<br /><br />Bad news - my boots are worn out at the back. I can probably fix them with gaffer tape for this weekend's walk but I'm going to have to get a new pair for Malham and all other walks leading up to it.<br /><br />Saturday is Lancaster Long Walk Day. Well three walks to be precise. Have recruited extra personnel - seriously excited!<br /><br /><u>Other fancy stuff</u><br />- HM is researching Muslim weddings<br />- It's Cheltenham Festival atm - everyone's picking a horse and i'm doing 1p e/w doubles. It's not going that well but it makes for an exciting couple of hours at the end of the work day. Gold Cup tomorrow, I might put a bit more money on it.<br type="_moz" /><br type="_moz" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=madjackal&ditemid=5666" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:152048:5151 2009-11-30T19:58:52Z 2009-11-30T19:58:52Z public 0 Maybe. Let's not hold our breath here. But I think I've cracked it on the personal development front. <br /><br />Today's gym stats:<br /><br />Bike - 10 mins - effort 3/6 - 3.58km<br />Cross trainer - 30 mins - effort 4/6 - 1.71km<br />Walking - 25 mins - gently - 1.97km<br />Beer - none<br />Food - two large helpings of Mess, WW dessert, half a muffin<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=madjackal&ditemid=5151" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:152048:744 2009-05-18T12:38:11Z 2009-05-18T12:38:11Z silence annoyed public 0 <b>Happy Things</b><br /><br /><li> My new bathroom<br /><li> My new wok<br /><li> "There are my knives"<br /><li> New pots (can you see a domestic goddess theme developing here?)<br /><br /><b>Sad/bloody annoying things</b><br /><li> Fucking Weatherseal taking too fucking long to fix my door and making me go AWOL from work.<br /><br />Have decided to weight train until they arrive.
