Latest!

Well I think I'm finally getting better, after 5 weeks of having this virus I think I am finally getting over it now. After a course of pills from the doctor for my mouth ulcers and coldsores, it still has some sores left but hopefully they will go. I seriously need now to get off my arse and get back to the gym. I haven't been since Bank holiday August and I can tell. Was going to go tonight but got odd jobs to do, I'm wallpapering for Nigel and Julia tomorrow so I think it is going to be Wedensday night, take it easy and get back into it, fitness here I come!

Illness!

I've had headaches for about 8 days now, I think it is due to me picking up some sort of sinus bug. Had cold sores too which I don't normally suffer from which are a pain (literally) as I reallly feel run down. It has been really difficult for me at work the last few weeks with 20% of the workforce off due to holidays which has meant I've had to work lots of overtime and I can tell. I've not been to the gym for 2 weeks now and having rested this weekend, I need to get back to the gym tomorrow and get back into it. I really need to start building this old bod and get it in great shape for next summer, so as they say medals are earnt in winter and won in summer, it's time to get into really good shape over the winter and to have a really good looking and in shape body for next summer, poser eh!

The blog for my music is slowly coming on, I don't want to rush it too much but there's a few singles on there. Next I need to start writing about groups and genres to add to the blog as well, but it is so hard to find any decent photo's of 70's bands like Sweet or Mud, keep looking I guess!

New Blog!

Finally, i have decided on setting a blog for all things music! Originally I wanted to have a web site based on all things I liked about music, but like a lot of my ideas, it never seemed to get off the ground. It came to me last week that I could set one up here on Blogger and I've done it, featuring 4 singles up to now so keep popping back and watch it grow!

A Day At The Races

On Saturday me and Vince went to Beverley races as part of Nigel's stag day. I've never done the races before, never had an interest in horse racing and only ever ridden past the course on my bike. Nigel seemed to enjoy himself though but we all seemed to end up in seperate groups. It was a decent day out, pity that weekend the weather had decided to turn colder but it was good to look around at all the other punters that were out for the day, an experience!

Spinning Around

Today was Bank Holiday and managed to miss the rain that started later in the day, Saturday me and Vinny were in town when it started thundering and pouring with rain. We got a bus home and missed most of the rain and just got damp a little!

I took my first spinning class today at the gym with Bibby and it was pretty good too. It was tiring towards the end but I was surprised how fit I am, I managed to keep up with the others and felt great after the class. My legs feel good too and I just might take another class!

I feel I am getting somewhere now at the gym, I'm getting more of an idea what to do, I'm trying to do more cardio to burn fat, I've started to run again and I can see the results in my body, Well done Me!

Still On Holiday

Still got a couple of days left of my summer holidays and I've enjoyed the rest even though there's no money to do much. I got a text this morning telling me that when I go back to work next week, I'll be on a 3 day week and the following week I've got Monday off but that's as much as I know right now. Guess I'll be spending more time at the gym!

Let The Blog Slip

Ooops, I was doing so well at keeping this up to date! As I write this I am on my second week of my holidays. It's been ok so far, Vinny is here with me but there's not much money, the weather wasn't too great until the weekend and it has been sunny. Today is really hot and sunny too! I've so far been in the gym nearly every day and my body shape is slowly changing and looking good, I seem to notice little things like a muscle will look different on my shoulder or one of my favourite shirts is suddenly tight over my chest, one way of sorting your wardrobe out I guess lol!

Talking of the gym, I'm no longer working out with Steve my personal trainer. He'd left Hitness First and was still coming to the gym to train with me, but he went on holiday and when I got in touch with him, he said he was busy as his football pre season training had started so I said I'd leave it with him to get in touch, which he hasn't so I take it we won't be working out again. It is a shame as I liked him and enjoyed working out with him, but at the same time he has shown me enough to be able to carry on with his ways and ideas, the only thing is I don't have a workout partner and I can't lift the weights we used to lift on my own!

Me and Vinny did Hull Pride at the weekend, it was pretty good for my first local pride, I don't think he found it brilliant but it was slowly filling up as we left.
