Ouch.
I mean all day MAJOR ouch. Some weird muscle in my back hurts.
I think the 30 day shred was designed to make unfit people feel relatively horrible about themselves, I knew I was unfit but the first time in my life I had beads of sweat dripping down my forehead (sexy I know).
Things I learnt about myself whilst doing day 1 of level 1:
1. I can't do 30 star jumps without needing a break somewhere along the line
2. I can't jump up and down without sounding like an elephant
3. I can't do push ups of any kind including the modified ones demonstrated by the "lower level" girl (who was the skinniest of all 3)
Still I am determined, I shall go home and make an arse out of myself yet again because so help me god I will be trying on beautiful wedding dresses at least 3 dress sizes smaller than I am now.
The boy is helping, after he left for football I received a very sweet if not slightly patronising text "Well done for doing your work out thing tonight honey, hard to get motivated I know". This from the man who has not a spare ounce of fat on him.
Hopefully I will be able to lift my arms to type tomorrow so I will update on whether I'm alive!

**I'd just like to point out that although my hatred for Jillian Michaels is strong right now I'm fairly sure that she isn't actually the devil, just in case the suggestion offends anyone!

30 Day Shred (Of Doom)
Oooh ooh I almost forgot to mention that today is the first day of properly following Weight Watchers (not just making meal plans and not sticking to them).
I am also going to attempt this 30 day shred thing so I'll be updating on that, my physical fitness is, well shocking so it could be amusing!

I don't like Monday's
Ahh Monday, oh how I hate thee.
I wonder why Monday is such a rubbish day? If I had decided to stay in bed today (which was tempting) tomorrow would have been just as crappy. But still, here we are, avoiding work!
Did everyone have a lovely jubbly weekend?! Went too fast as always. The boy and I had a very domesticated day yesterday, food shopping, gardening, trying to make our spare room stop looking like a storage facility... t'was all good fun but very tiring!
And then there was the world cup final, I admit I was backing Spain. Az and I have spent a whole lot of time in Spain in the last five years (we are very lucky that his parents own an apartment in beautiful La Manga) and it is also where we got engaged. The people are lovely and it feels like our second home so it was only right really. Also, I was disappointed with how Holland behaved, you lost. Accept it graciously without getting abusive with the referee. He didn't stop you scoring!
I have been looking into doing some kind of degree for a while, well some sort of qualifications to give me a career path instead of just a job and I think I've decided today that I'm going to work towards a BA in Criminology and Psychological Studies. It's something that really interests me and can open up a wide variety of jobs such as Criminal Psychologist which I would pretty much love to do.
It does mean having less money for the wedding budget though but I can spread it out over years as there's 6 courses that make up the degree.
I'm not sure yet, it really is about looking at my options. What I do know though is for the first time in a long time I feel excited about doing something with my life instead of just floating along.
Sorry for turning this into an essay but my brain's all full up today! :)

Bad Blogger
Afternoon cyber peeps!
I'm sorry I'm rubbish, it's a pretty poor showing to start a blog and then not write anything, I will do better in the future.
In my defence it has been a truly bad week, in fact there are no words to describe how stressed I've been but thankfully it is Friday and I can take comfort in the fact that I can now remove one portion of stress (work) and enjoy some chill time!
My new find this week is Milky Bar Moments, has anyone else discovered these? They're like minstrels with white chocolate, I stole the rest of Aaron's this morning to bring to work and now I feel sick, Karma and such!
I was also led to believe that today would be the hottest day of the year, I was busy contemplating BBQ's and other lovely things to do in the hot when I realised that actually, it is not that hot and it is quite cloudy. Is this the same all over England or are we being punished here in Birmingham?!
Have a lovely weekend all, I will be better next week, Brownie promise! xx

1st Blog post
Well hi! :)
This blog is going to be a little place for me to ramble, I'm not expecting anyone else to see it and I'm very okay with that I just thought it'd be fun to have something to write everyday!
I've also just started planning my wedding which is forever and ever and ever away so if I can write about it here it means that I might have some friends left by the time the day comes along and my fiance might still want to marry me!
Anyhoo I haven't got much exciting to say today, I have just enjoyed a Crabbie's at the pub and my brain has gone into summer daydream so I will wish you all a happy weekend and bore you next week instead!
Christie xx
