The Ramblings of a Disorientated Mind

The other day, as Dark and I were walking to work, he spotted a sign in game station for a reconditioned Wii and a new Wii Fit all for £175. I ummed and ahhed about it for the week, because I thought it might be a smart idea to get Dark and I excersing more [I’d already decided to change my diet], and last staurday went and bought the damn thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying using it, I think it’s going to do Dark and I the world of good. BUT good god damn, do I hurt. Like the man said it’s making us both realise how unfit we’ve gotten. The things I’ve been doing most are the yoga stretches, some of the muscle workouts and the jogging, and it’s showing: my calves and side muscles ache like crazy, and every cough is painfully brought home to me. But I think the pain is good for two reasons. First, all this exercise must be working or it wouldn’t hurt so much… right? Second is that it’s made me notice how often I cough. This was also brought home to me on monday night, when one of our regular listeners informed me that I have been this bad for three weeks, no simple cold should last that long and he ordered me to the doctors…

Which leads me to the next part of my health ramble… I’m gonna try really hard to cut out all the bad shit I’ve been eating lately - no ice cream, chocolate, bread, cheese, eggs or take out for me any more. I’m also going to moderate my soda drinking, and replace with Innocent Smoothies. So that means getting up early every morning to do half an hour on the Wii, and getting in early for work so I can buy a sushi pack on the way in. Still not sure what I’m gonna do about breakfast because I’m not convinced that I should be using LactoFree milk every morning. I think a yoghurt pot is okay maybe a few days, with a cereal bar and some fruit, but that doesn’t completely fix the issue. Maybe I’ll see if I can still get an appointment with the dietician and see what they can recommend.

I think that’s all my heath related news for now. In the rest of my life: Work is stress, novel editing has stalled, almost finished NVQ, house is a tip - might be getting a maid, social life a disorganised mess, G3 radio show beginning to be a success, thing-a-month for April probably not gonna happen.

There are never enough hours in the day and I have 0 motivation most of the time, but I think it’s directly related to my crappy diet, so the sooner I get that fixed the better.
