Another snow day makes me feel the burn

It's been snowing all over the country the past two days. I guess it must be nice for people who have nothing to do so can just mess around and play in it. I happen to live in my house alone at the moment... so I'm pretty much trapped inside by myself, because I daren't step out onto the icy pavements. I don't have as good a sense of balance and co-ordination as most people so it's more likely that I'd fall over and do myself an injury... you'd have to be mad to go out there when it's like this even if you can balance on your own two feet. I had images of myself sliding down the street on my back with my head cracked open... it just doesn't seem worth it. So although I have things I need to get done, they're just gonna have to wait it seems.

Anyway, since I was stuck inside I continued with my exercise resolution today, it was my second workout of the year. Jane Fonda of course, it really burned today, my abdominals and thighs especially, but it makes me feel so good doing it, I'm really glad I'm doing it. Getting into shape is great. I just hope I can make the time for it when uni starts again.

My food supplies are getting lower, and my money supplies aren't getting any higher. So it's gonna be rice for dinner again tonight! And gosh, those toothbrushes I bought from Sainsburys the other day are crap. Seriously, it's worth shelling out a bit more money for a half-decent toothbrush... or a trip to ASDA (I miss that place!)

Uni starts again on Monday, am actually really looking forward to it, can't wait to get back into a routine so I'm not sitting around all the time. So yeah... roll on next week!

Lady Jane, the Saviour

So today I got another new year's resolution started: exercise!!

My favourite way to exercise is with Jane Fonda, OBVIOUSLY, since she's one of my idols. Last time I had a proper exercise routine, I still lived with my parents! Anyway, I'm lucky enough to own a VHS tape of Jane Fonda's New Workout from 1985, which is just amazing, there's singing and everything on it, it's so much fun. Unfortunately I don't have a VHS player, only my parents do. So I had to resort to YouTube in order to find myself some J-Fo workout goodness, and I came across her original workout right back from the beginning of the 80s! It seemed much harder than the one I usually do, and it wasn't as fun, but until the powers that be get their act together and release the 1985 workout on DVD then I'll have to make do. I'm so glad I did it, it felt so good to be active and exercising, I'm gonna keep it up for sure.

I spent the rest of the day mainly preparing to write a journal for my Spanish film module coursework, it took hours writing all the notes down, but I hate essays, and this alternative seems to be the best option for me.

On another happy note, I didn't burn my dinner today! I put it in the oven, and remembered to check on it, and take it out on time and everything! I'm so happy!

I'm still working on the 'early to bed and early to rise' resolution. At the moment I much prefer sitting up on facebook waiting for somebody interesting to talk to me, or actually talking to somebody interesting than I do going to bed and sleeping. I'm fairly certain tonight shan't be any different, I'm pretty knackered after the workout, so a little laziness is in order. It's great being thin, workout + pizza + laziness = fine! ^_^
