Generally optimistic things
Oct. 30th, 2012 08:23 amNew exercise thing - tried out the "free jogging" on the Wii Fit. Lowest duration is 10min, so I nearly didn't bother, since obviously I won't be able to keep it up for that long. Oh yes, I did! Covered 2.4km, it tells me, though since that's jogging on the spot (lounge isn't that big), it isn't the same as 2.4 "real" km.
It also asked me to guess how much I weighed, in stone. Anyone following along will know that I quite deliberately don't know how much I weigh in stone, since I'm pretty sure the answer will depress me. So I guessed at what I thought was an optimistic figure, and was told I was wildly wrong. OK.... I'm feeling pretty cheerful, I can probably cope, go on, tell me? The answer was a stone lighter than I'd guessed. I may even start being able to think about it without wanting to hide under the bed soon. I still refuse to add four and see how much I weighed to start with, though.
In other news, we're clearing the lounge ready for the new three-piece suite, and the carpet that we might as well do at the same time, and the decorating that might as well happen while the place is empty. An awful lot of books that we have on e-copy, or are so out of date as to be useless, went with my dad to a charity shop last night (our little car wouldn't have coped).
Remember I entered a card-making/paper-craft competition a while back? I won! £25 bag of goodies is heading my way, and the magazine will have a picture of the pretty thing I made.
