Yesterday

Food:
Sausage bap, can of sugar free energy drink
Tomato soup, 2 slices of wheaten bread
4 chicken goujons, 2 handfuls of chips, 2 slices of wholemeal bread, glass of wine

Exercise:
Half hour walk
Walked stairs instead of taking lift every time in work

There is no time like now, no better day than today

Thats it!

I have been FAR TOO LAX this summer.  I looked back at pics from last year and I haven't changed a bit.

NO MORE.

I want to be fitter, be stronger, be healthier.

So I am commiting to exercising every day at least a half hour.  Whether that is a class at the gym, a workout with weights or a run/walk I will be doing something every day.

I am committing to eating better.  My diet has been terrible since the start of the summer and I can feel my clothes starting to get tight again.

I do not want that.

So from today I will be posting everything I eat and the exercise I do for the next four weeks.

It will be the kick up the ass I need to get me back on track.

Feel free to shout at me to encourage me, and to kick me when I slip.

A year ago, tomorrow

This is what I was feeling this time last year.  Is it a good or a bad thing to have a blog where you can look back and see how you felt, what you were thinking?

I'm still not sure, but either way, here it is.

You know, in case you want to check it out.

What a weekend

Every week I have plans for what is happening at the weekend, whether they are plans to clean my house, or plans to party I know what I am going to do.

This past weekend was no different.

What I didn't know was how much fun I was going to have.

I was helping out with the Vikings, taking "Have A Go Archery".

Basically I spent the weekend with bows and arrows and taught kids, adults and everyone in b etween how to shoot a target.

And I rocked at it.

I had little tiny kids who could barely hold the bow, I had grown woman who had tried before and couldn't be taught how to do it, I had teenage boys who thought they knew better than I did.  But every single one that came to me left with a smile on their face after hitting the target at least once.

I got soaked through when it rained and I got sunburnt when it was hot.

This was part of my do something to change someone's life challenge I set myself.

I taught people something.  I gave kids (and adults) a great experience trying something new.  I made people smile.

It was GREAT :-)

31 July 2014

Its another month over, and have you actually done anything?

I know you have went to work, or school, you have ate dinner, slept, saw a few people, went to a few places, but have you actually completed anything?

Have you changed a life?

Have you made the world a better place?

No, me either!

I was thinking about this today.  Are we here to simply get through life, to do the day to day everything stays the sameness of life?  Or are we here to make a difference?

Could you change a life?  Step outside of your life and make someone else's life better?

I don't know if I am brave enough, smart enough, caring enough.  But this month I want to try.

In August I am going to wrack my brain and see what I can do to change some one else's life.  I can't imagine I will make a big difference, but maybe I can make a small change.

I would appreciate ideas.

Three Pictures

Three pictures......sounds ominous, but as I have gotten out of the way of blogging I decided to jump on this bandwagon and linkup...mainly cos it gave me an idea of what I should blog about today.  Smart, yes :-)

For the past few months I have been involved with a group called the Magnus Vikings.  We have a LOT of fun, and if you are anywhere nearby why not come by some day and try it out for yourself?



The girls' boat out on Strangford Lough

The above pic was taken on Sunday past out on Strangford Lough.  The girls and the guys went out on the boats, and then a storm blew in, the girls just turned that boat about and rowed to shore.  The guys, well, lets say they may have needed a hand from a passing speedboat to get back to shore.  :-)



The Magnus Vikings

This was one of the promo shots done a couple of months back.  (Along with the one below).  It shows some of the guys with their swords and sheilds and the girls with their bows.  We know how to defend ourselves!!



The Vikings are coming to get your children

This was another promo shot, which shows some of our guys chasing the kids...you can tell by the smiles on the kids faces just how much fun they were having!!  (And how scary our guys are!!)



Its been too long

Its been too long from I did this.

Its been too long since I cared.

Its been too long since I even thought about this.

Is anyone still out there?

I will try harder.

I promise.

;-)
