Hello everyone! So new focus. Yes, I never know what to write about. Never know what’s interesting so I’m just going to write for myself…if that makes sense. There are slew of blogs trying to change the world, radicalise the world, and revolutionise the world so I’m not doing that here. Not am I going to think - oh will people find this interesting or boring. To be frank, I’m a pretty boring person but hey ho let me write.  I’m thinking of changing my gym. Well right now I’m a member of Virgin Active Health Club which styles itself as a life style gym, and to be honest the only thing I use is the hot tub, sauna and steam room. In the three years I’ve been a member, I’ve only been in the gym about ten times, gone for two classes - they are always fully book so I only really just use the hydro-pool/spa, and steam room. I’m a member of the Islington Angel branch which is were all the posh liberals are.  This is a picture of the spa, and pool. The pool can be a bit chill at t...

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone had a good week! So let's get down to it. I didn't hit the target as I planned I would. I weight myself today and I'm 81.4kg which 179.5lb so I lost half a pound. Is it worth it? I don't know but let's examine my reasons why. So in my previous post , I mentioned my risk areas - supermarkets, working late and not planning meals but let's see what happened. What Went Well? I had breakfast most days, and didn't go into the supermarket near work for an breakfast pastry. I just walked past which is huge for me. I was about navigate other supermarkets fairly well, just buying healthy food.  What didn't go well? I had a very busy week ahead with two critical job interviews and work deadlines. I'll cover that in another post. So I was pushing myself doing interview practicing, researching about the roles and etc. Anxiety and nerves got the better of me, and those impacted my eating habits. What next? ...

  Hello Everyone, So with this goal, I figured a needed a plan or steps. I’ve started with working backwards - it’s like working destination first and then how to get there. Then I worked out the potential pitfalls and risk areas.  Steps Work from Goal Plan On Sunday, weigh myself at Virgin Active aim to be 81kg - yes still keeping with the one pound target.  Sunday morning walk to Virgin Active to get weighed - and have a nice hot tub and steam room.  Walk up stairs for a week instead of taking the lift/elevator  Walk to up a hill after work at least three times a week.  Do twenty minutes light cardio at least three times a week - sheduled - Monday, Wednesday, Friday.  Avoid deserts at work all week, and no cakes or pastries at the weekend either.  Plan lunches and dinners in advance - at least a day ahead.   Risk Areas and Potential Pitfalls   These are potential obstacles and barriers to ac...

Hello Online Friends, Isn't this image about sexy abundance that is one earth? Rich, indulgent and sexy. Too much of  the  good things in life. I'm like that at the moment. And yes, I'm a member of Virgin Active but I'm a hot tub and steam room user. I pay the premium for that, let's face it there are plenty of cheaper gyms arounds to go breathless and sweaty in. Nah, just chilling in the spa area is my thing. I've got a sexy type figure so I hold the weight well see the lady below. So I do go the spa, wear figure hugging clothes - normally red - and have  always have sex with the lights. However I've decided to set a weekly goal of losing at least a pound. A pound you say? What the is point?  I know, I know, I know, it will seem ages before I lose anything but I need to start somewhere. So lets reveal my current weight. Well according the my life-style gym Virgin Active, I'm 81.6kg which is like appox. 180lbs or 12 stones 12lb. Barely seems ...

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...

from twitter  Atlantic records So? And? Why is this relevant? Whose oxygen supply was cut off because of this? Who died because Kodak Black says he isn't into black girls?  Please. Shake my head. I saw the video and it was a comment made in passing. He wasn't derogatory, he wasn't mean, he wasn't shady. He was saying it in context to a Q&A with his fans.  But for those black girls whose life ambition is to become Kodak Black’s baby momma. They find him so sexy and they want to have his babies. There is still hope. Just get him super drunk and bag him; or just upgrade him to someone who is actually SOLVENT NOT HYPE and will actually pay those child support cheques/checks.  Apart from his fangirls dreaming of him being their baby daddy, why should the rest of us care about Kodak Black’s preferences in women? Please. And to be fair on him - he did say - kinda, sorta.  He's the kind of cat that talks but takes whatever is available. So po...

Hey everyone! It's been difficult week with a lot of things going on. I managed to complete a huge goal of mine at work, which was super stressful, using the procrastination book's strategy. It wasn't easy because I stall but eventually I did what I had to do. so Mr Cool Dude and been texting me. Well we have been texting each other, and he's very cute. I like him, though I haven't said that to him nor has he told me. Lots of Emojis flying backwards and forwards. He's very sweet and makes me laugh.  So it's kind of like a textionship at the moment. Nah I lie, we've chatted a few times, like everyday apart from today - well we did briefly. However I've not met him so it's all just non-physical.  Because you get on with someone doesn't mean there will be that attraction in real life. Still he's cute and funny. Nothing is happening with the First Guy. You fancy someone, don't get the opportunity to get to know them in a d...

Hey Everyone! I'm a bit of roll today so just take my post in your stride. Went out to the gym, had luck with Fab Mama, and went back home. Thinking of what to do for the rest of the evening, so I decided a blog post. Yay! Pre-teen and makeup.  I just saw the most awful thing today. An eleven year old (or under - definitely not a teen!)  in my family gym putting on a full face of makeup. She was using that stupid Zoella range and some other silly pocket school stuff. Are you kidding me!! I watched frozen with horror as this young child put on primer, foundation then concealer. HER SKIN IS TOO YOUNG FOR THAT RUBBISH!!! SHE HAD SPOTS!!! WHICH PRE-PUBERTY KID HAS SPOTS???!!! THIS WAS NOT DRESS UP MAKE UP SHE WAS DOING, BUT HER PROPER ROUTINE!!! Kids are under so much pressure! Blooding bloggers becoming millionaires - preying on innocent kids. SOD OFF! That stufff is just fucking up her skin! I know because at seventeen a friend started using a certain facial ...

Hello Everyone! I'm not a teenager any more, nor am I in high school but there is this guy I like and I'm wondering how to go about it...like seeing if there is some attraction or something. Should I ask him out of a drink? I don't know. I could ask him out for a drink. It's a bit all teenagish but this is real life not some romance novel. He's also not my normal type - whatever that is. Not sure. I'm can quite  bolshy nd apparently stropy....well so I'm told. I'll find a way to ask him out for a drink. Does he like me? Yeah, the signs are there. What signs you may ask if he hasn't asked me out. The signs, so I need to test the signs and the only way by doing that is asking him out for a drink. Well probably get a group together and go for a drink. What if he says no? Then I'll know he doesn't fancy me. If I do think he fancies me why hasn't he asked me out? Well above I mentioned the signs and I can be quite bolshy as well....

I went to the library to work on my book, and came across a book called Procrastination by Jane B Burka and Lenora M Yuen. After browsing a few pages I decided to buy a copy. So I went to my local Waterstones, only to be told that they were out of stock and there was a copy lurking in the Piccadilly Circus Branch. Desperate to stop procrastinating I went down to Piccadilly Circus in hot pursuit of this copy. It's a crowded part of town with lots of tourists and teenagers. China Town was looking pretty with all the red lanterns, Leicester Square was looking a tad rough - or maybe its because I haven't frequented it since my teenage and young adult years. Lots of restaurants, souvenir shops and casinos. Walking towards the Eros, I found the moving billboard was just a hoarding so it looked even more messy and tacky.  Piccadilly Circus really needs a good facelift. Anyway got to Waterstones, up to second floor but couldn't find the book! As the bookseller - as ...

Yes, I doing my first review. Normally I'm queasy at the mention of any bodily fluids and I find it icky, even the word period makes me cringe but as I said I'm going to be reviewing stuff. This is the latest new stuff. Feminine hygiene are a very personal choice I only started using tampons a few years ago. When I first tried them a long time ago, I found them very uncomfortable and reverted back to using towels. However now I just whatever, and over the last few used have used them regularly. The choice is very personal because I had an auntie who only used toilet roll. That was what she was comfortable with. She hated pads, towels or tampons and just rolled with her tissue paper. There is a technique she used to make it in a pad but that was her choice. I also know people who would never use a pad or on the other hand a tampon. I use whatever I have at hand but for daytime I'd much rather use a tampon. The New Tampax Compak Pearl I didn't read the instr...

Hello Everyone, Blogging has't been the top of my agenda for a long time because I'm at a lost of what to say or write about. Really. I also think my life isn't that interesting and the interesting things that happen to me tend to involve other people so I do feel it's not my place to share those. However I've been thinking of how I can keep this going and make it interesting. Work has also been super busy as if you're read other blog post you'll realised I'm a chartered associate in a certain profession, I also work in a very small team, and the organisation has a £15 million turnover. It's a medium size but with extremely complex nature so no two days are the same. My interests Writing had taken a huge amount of my time because I'm working on my novel however I'm getting back into my non-writing interests and hobbies.  I do a fair bit of street photography on my phone since I like street art and there are some talented artists out t...

Hello Everyone, Happy  New Year. I haven't written that much for a whole, mostly because I feel I have nothing newsworthy to say. So I guess I'll just talk about what I know  - myself and my life. Still in the same job - but as a chartered associate I get more respect - that is my opinions take more weight with my bosses. That's nice. Job hunting isn't that easy, and however I did get one interview which was a boost to my morale - unfortunately I didn't get the role. Still as qualified chartered associate, though I haven't had a pay increase, I have more confidence in what I do. I'm still in a role for an unqualified - or part qualified but whatever it is I still need to draw a wage. Years ago, I'll have jacked in my job with the intention of getting a better paid one. However I've learnt it's best to leave a job to job especially when bills need to get paid. There is also a bonus factor of learning from my two bosses. I've h...
