I am writing this post backwards purely because I don't know what to blog about.

Like normally, I have at least some idea on what to focus a post upon, whether its work, or cake, or manga. But today, not so much.

Diet is going well, exercise and shit is going well; life is generally okay at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm still all but unemployed and struggling etc, but the sun is shining so I guess its hard to not feel a little bit good about life today.

Although I should really clean my room at some point.

I saw The Sound of Music last night, starring Connie Fisher from 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria'. It was really good, and she was excellent as Maria, but then again, I always thought she would be. The thing that impressed me most though was some of the costume changes. They were fast.

One highlight was when we were stood outside, and I was singing 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria' and Zoe said 'unfortunately they don't sing that in this musical.' I stared at her til she realised what she had said.

Silly girl.

Like on Monday when she was telling me that she was going to do the slimfast diet, but keep eating everything like normal, like there was a magic ingredient in slimfast that makes you thin. I had to explain to her that slimfast works but replacing food, all that would happen if you supplemented your normal diet with it is that you would get fatter, and probably quite quickly.

Ok I think Im done.

Hello

Diet started today

Myself and Zoe decided last week that starting today, we would be on a health kick. Meaning we would try to be healthy, not kick healthy things, or indeed healthy people, as that would be mean and somewhat uncalled for.

Now, those that know me know that in my book, a diet is slimfast. Being healthy means replacing food with milkshake and drinking more water. Although this time I'm also doing exercise.

Exercise.

Like exercising and shit.

I don't normally do the whole exercise thing, mainly because I'm too lazy. I have been known to do a fair amount of exercise DVDs, but when you have no private space to do it in anymore because your father will pretty much always be around, you sort of loose your enthusiasm. I am not a strong enough swimmer to count that as exercise, and I probably walk too slow to do for any walking I do to count as such. Despite this, I am going to try and be good and do at least something every day.

Today was walking, specifically around the lakes. On a nice day like today, it felt more like a nice day out than anything else, and I burned over 300 cals. Score!

Although I do think I'm coming off as a bit of a slave driver to Zoe. I'm keeping a food diary for her, and threatening her with punishments if she exceeds her target calorie intake. Oh well :)

Rainy days

I don't really know what to write today.

Rainy days always seem to damper my spirits somewhat. I guess everyone is the same. Not that I don't like rain, that is. I like rain; I like its smell, I like watching the raindrops splash into puddles, I like lifting my face up with my eyes closed, I like to stand in it when its really heavy just for a few seconds, and then go back inside to where its warm and dry.

Or rather, I like to think I do.

More likely, I'm grumbling at the sky for having the sheer audacity to start leaking on me, and avoiding doing anything I should be doing by using a little bit of water as an excuse. Which is never a good idea. I mean, come on, I live in England, I should be used to it by now.

I saw Elle today. It had been a week, and I had missed her. Despite this, I still managed to forget her tack and postcard. I put them on top of my bag as well; I really don't know how I managed to leave them behind. It's a skill I guess.
