Yesterday I started coming down with a cold. But with the instant application of drugs and tissues I have managed to kick it to the curb. Being sick is an interesting thing. On the one hand you feel horrible and just want to curl up and die. On the other hand you get to sit in your PJ's all day (which coincidently I am currently doing. It is now 2pm) Eat what you feel like and watch movies curled up on the couch with your doona. Now I think that you have the sick day of feeling crap but then you need that one day after being sick where you feel better but want the sick treatment. So you're feeling better and could probably go to work but instead decided it would be better for you're health to sit on the couch with a tub of ice cream and chocolate ice magic. I am having that day at the moment. Tomorrow I will go back to eating healthy and working but for today I will continue to sit in m
So today I was at the gym doing my usual routine when one of the personal trainers approached me. She asked if I would like to join her for a spin class. It would be one on one as I was the only person in the gym at the time. Now usually I would avoid the bikes at all costs as I'm the type of person that never rides for fitness. I'm the girl that you would see on the granny bike with a basket on the front picking flowers and eating a piece of fruit as I peddled.
But as I was bored with my usual routine ( I swear I nearly fell asleep on the tredmill) I thought why not. So we headed into the gym classroom and began our class. At first I thought "oh man why did I say yes." The sweat was pouring out of me like a waterfall and the trainer could tell I wasn't in good shape. My hair was soaked and I felt my body hating me in everyway but by the end of the class as I wobbled off to my car my body had changed its tone. IT was screaming THANKYOU! The feeling of jelly instead of muscles was amazing. I really felt like I had done a proper workout as aposed to my half-arsed routine of walking on the treadmill and doing a little bit of weights. I felt the choc-tops and popcorn I has at the movies the previous night just evaporate away. So next time your in the gym I say go to that Spin class and spin away. SPIN AWAY! Watched Harry Potter Last night and completely overdosed on food. Next time just get the combo and not the hot chocolate and cake. But enough about the food what about the movie? Well it was great. Very dark but then I guess the book was too its just a lot worse when you see it. I definitely would not let children see it. One warning I would give is to not be holding popcorn or any opened beverage during the Godrick's Hollow scene unless you want to be covered in popcorn or beverage by the end. We had a girl start choking in our cinema. It was everything like the book and more. Only now after the way they left it for part two I feel a little down. Oh well six months till the end. Today at the age of 22 i tasted Vegemite for the first time. Being Australian this a horrible thing. I should have been eating it from birth but since birth the smell has always made me gag (sort of the way it does to every other nationality). I have been called a freak, un-Australian and just plain weird. I work in childcare and recently as i have been spreading the thick black mud across their toast the smell has been doing something different to me. It has made me want to try some. I wasn't gaging or projectile vomiting I was actually thinking mmm smell and looks good. Finally today I bit the toast and... well I didn't hate it. I can't say it was love at first taste but I can finally say that I ate it and didn't mind it. Vegemite you have one me over. I'm a happy little Vegemite. |
