Black History Month, eating donuts and listening to Charlie Sloth on BBC 1 Xtra

The latest celeb gossip is about Beyonce and her age. Okay. Big deal. So what? Who cares?

Woke up twice this morning before time. The first time, I worried about a work task, the second time I though I needed to stock on fruit and veg.

It was dizzling today when I went to work. Work was okay. Lunch is okayish - the quiche was salty, ands wasn’t impressed by pudding so didn’t have any.

Had a black history month event on Windrush, and a few speakers. It was good. Had to do a labourous and tedious task, so put on my earphones and listened to BBC 1 Xtra only for Head Huncho, the guv’ner to come in. Explained I needed music in the background otherwise the would drag on. That’s how we roll. I listened to the top 100 ‘radio friendly’ version of Hip Hop turns, and was surprised that playa’s athem wasn’t on it.

Then I turned into Charlie Sloth, and made progress on the rest of my task. Happy to say, I’d done nearly half and will complete them tomorrow. As for Charlie Sloth, I’m thinking does his size have anything to do with name.

Someone left donuts in the kitchen so me and colleagues dived into them. After that I made my way to the gym for a work out session. I did the cross trainer for all of fifteen minutes on like a least resistance, only for a woman to step on next one and pump away like it’s nothing on resistance of 10!

Went to Sainburys and go some spinach, avocado and pasta, and my favourite cake-bread Panettone! I love this stuff. Christmas is round the corner.

Yeah that’s all. Obesity drive not going so well if I’m tucking into Panettone but it is what it it .Yeah, I know the picture is mirror image, but that's how the camera worked.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Goals - one thing at a time - weekly or less frequent blog. Yoga was HARD! Still on track with eating plan,

Despites all my good words, I am slipping back into old bad habits and overloading myself with things to do. Distractions. Everything is important. So I've decided to get tough with myself and focus on my major goal. The one that will be most beneficial to me and a causality of that will be writing this blog daily or near daily. So I'm going to be focusing on my major goal and push myself to focus and I think all the other activities, and I mean a lot are diluting from the process. This means getting rid of non-value adding activities. Oh dear, I sound rather corporate. My week so far. If Pilate nearly killed me, then in Yoga was the firing line. OMG! What is it with these gym classes being so dynamic! When I mean dynamic I mean break-into-a-sweat dynamic. I'd never hadn't had such a difficult class - obviously I was the largest. Okay - let's go fat-shaming- don't you just love that word? I was the fattest by a long stretch. And the unfittest. My body was ou...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines. Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one. A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor. Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...
