New Year, New Blog - Day 30

Day 30.

I didn't think I'd get to 30 posts. I thought I would get bored and give up or forget a few days and not carry on. But we are almost at February and I'm going strong. So once again, a huge thank you to all who read, have read and are going to read my blog posts. It makes me feel good about writing it. 

Today was different at work. Well everyday is different but this was not a normal day. It was pastoral day which means each tutor group stays together and does various activites throughout the day. I was given the honour of working with one of the craziest young boy I have ever met. The subject of this pastoral day for year 8 was sex and relationships. They were learning about different situations they might find themselves in and how they would handle it. It wasn't the most exciting thing to part of but we had some giggles along the way. They also learnt about different forms of contraception which freaked them out a bit, but I guess they have to know that stuff. All in all it was a good day at work but I am also very glad pastoral day is once every half term.

After work I went to the cinema with my sister Sam, to go and see Haywire. I lost a bet sometime last year and agreed to go and see the next 5 films with Channing Tatum in. He is Sams favourite actor and she is crazy in love with him. We were the only 2 in the cinema which felt very odd and I just kept talking out loud because I could. I can't really tell you what the film was about because it wasn't clear at all. It was meant to be a thriller but it lacked any go and substance. I think the story was about a CIA agent getting set up on a mission to be the fall girl and targeted by her employer. The only good thing about the movie was some of the fight scenes and when the film ended. It was a real let down. 

When we got back from the cinema, I headed to the gym. I'm fed up of being fat and lazy so I just packed a gym bag and went. I did 40 minutes on the cross trainer which felt amazing and then 2500 metres on the rowing machine. Every 250 metres on the rower I would stop and then do Russian twists or press ups. I felt a bit wobbly on the way home and felt sick that I had worked so hard. 

That was my day. It was a busy one for me but I feel good! Tomorrow I will mention some motivation videos that I have been watching that have made me want to get back in real good shape.

Until tomorrow.

New Year, New Blog - Day 2

Day 2 of the Blogging and I dont have a lot to shout about.

Its my last day of the Christmas holidays before I head back to work tomorrow and I must say, its been a fantastic time off. A lot of the time I have spent working on one car or another at Simpson Autocare with Chris and I have learnt so much about cars in such a short time. I might start thinking about getting some form of qualification in mechanics, but thats something I can think about at a later date.
The rest of the time has been spent with family and friends which has been very good.
I am glad to get back to work and into a routine. I need to lose the Christmas weight I put on and get back down the gym regularly.

As for today, its been average. I swept the garage with dad and the been in front of my TV for the rest of it.

I have been talking to an old friend who intends to read my blog everyday and I'm quite excited about that, at least someone will be reading it. It was a great little catch up that we had.

Thats about it for day 2, hopefully tomorrow will be interesting and thanks for reading.
