Busy, Busy. Busy

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls I have returned. I have upgraded my computer to a new version so regular service can resume. Well you've missed quite a but whilst I've been gone. I've moved even further up the rankings on Living Social (Now at 2750 on the rankings), been to the gym, investigated ukuleles, investigated hot air balloons.

I've also thought of other stuff to out on the list so I may condense some parts into others or just add more. I'm thinking of adding jousting and i did think of something else earlier. Its slipped me mind for now, mehaps it will return at some point. Maybe it won't.

The books I've added to get me up to that rank were I kill Giants and Wolf Boy. Yes another comic but they're books and Wolf Boy is a great look at a feral child who ends up living with some dogs in post perestroika russia. In turns moving, disgusting, sad and fun. Its very odd but when it looks as if he's about to get taken into care you're filled with mixed emotions. He'll be better off in care but it'll mean leaving his home and family. Its just in this case his family are a pack of dogs and his home is a hole beneath a ruined church. This could be one of those books which takes off big time, if the right people get behind it. I'm looking at you Richard and Judy. Track it down.

I Kill Giants has won many an award for a good reason. Its about a girl i surburbia who is reclusive, a bit but happens to be a giant killer at the same time. The less you know going in the better. Don't even read the back beforehand. You'll gain much more from the story and the skillfull manner in which its told if you avoid the blurb. A black and white comic again but I found I had no trouble telling who was who. Just wait till I draw my comic. No one will have a clue who is who or even what it meant to be happening. I shall have to eat my words then.

Off to try and move all my information from one computer to the next now. Fun Times.

14) Get BMI into the “Normal” Zone and stay there

Well this one is a trifecta of progress. Its working towards my waist measurement, Olympic triathlon and also the BMI target too. Today, as I'm sure lots of you know was the England V Algeria Match. As a consequence the gym was like a Ghost town. So dead I could wander around the changing rooms skyclad (love the phrase)and not feel awkward as only me there. Whoop. Now I didn't forget the match was on but rather then USA game was so dull on Saturday that I thought I'd risk it and skip it. Also just didn't care today. I may regain some enthusiam as the tournament goes on, assuming we get any furthur. The last few minutes I saw once I got back from Asda (popped in after Gym, surprising amount of cars with england flags on considering) were pants. This isn't about the football. Its about my list.

Today I up the intensity of my run. Still running for 30 minutes but now at an average speed of 9km/h. Just need to up it another k to 10km/h and I'll be hitting my target for the run part of my sprint triathlon which will be the basis for the olympic distance. Legs are kinda of achey now. I did skive off the row at the end of the workout as my ankle started to click. I may be a wooz but I don't want to knacker myself out during training. Also upped the weights and reps on some of the machines but can't recall the exact stuff. I have upped the stomach crunch part as that's where I'd like to see some more development. At the end I weighed myself and apparently I weigh 80kg and the machine said to hit "Normal Weight" I need to be 79.2kg so pretty close. Weight can fluctuate by about a Kg a day so could be there already or could be 2 Kg away. We shall see. As for waist size still not there yet.
