Neglected my blog again, but I’ve been working and in between
working, trying to make sure I don’t neglect my friends, family or boyfriend.

| My new love! |
I’ve actually not had a bad week, apart from the massive and
quite tiring shifts at work, I’ve spent time with Marc and on Sunday, had a few
drinks with two of my best friends, then after yesterday’s placement, we went
shopping. Luckily, I received two random job seekers payments from when I left
uni and didn’t have a job, so I bought a pair of boots as a ‘well done for
getting off the dole’ present.
So there has been little chance for anything that scares me,
unless you count being in charge of a group of 11 year olds and not knowing my
way to the buildings I was meant to be showing them! I kept quite calm, I know
I didn’t exactly seem sure of myself, but at least I know where everything is
if I have to do it again. My group were definitely the worst behaved, but I
think that was just bad luck.
I did something else different today. Egged on by my sister,
I bought a set of four sessions on a Flab-e-loss machine at the local tanning
shop. For anyone baffled and wondering what a Flab-e-loss is, it’s a poor man’s
power plate, you use it for ten minutes and it violently vibrates your fat in
the most unattractive way possible. The sensation in my legs at one point can
only be described as like being electrocuted, without the horrible twitchy
heart racing sensation (owning a horse, I’ve accidentally touched my fair share
of electric fences.) To be honest, I’m dubious it even works. I was nervous
about giving it a go, but I have nothing to lose. My uncertainly comes from the
fact that I’m not really sure ten minutes of your thighs bouncing together
involuntarily can help tone them up, the woman on before me who claims to have
been using them regularly for months certainly didn’t seem to be reaping many
benefits (she was far from toned) yet swore she had lost inches from her waist. I very much doubt I’ll keep it up, I probably toned up more
from the run to the shop and back than the ten minutes I spent realising I have
a lot more body fat than I previously thought as even my back began to wobble.
So that was today’s fun experiment. Again, I’m sorry for the
lengthy absence, but I’ve spoken before about how sometimes you have to
prioritise, and this week I have prioritised work as, well it’s my work and I
need money and spending time socialising, because generally, if I can’t fit
something in, it tends to be my friends, which isn’t really fair on them. I’m
taking a little bit of time for myself right now by writing this and intend to
post it then sit with my kindle.
And also a huge well done to Team GB for getting team silver
in the Equestrian! I was so anxious watching it in the best possible way! Great
result from a great team.
