Just for fun...

It seems that Obama restated the oath.

Here is a linkie:

Obama does an Oath Re-do

I should give myself a pat on the back. Yesterday was three weeks of non-stop, everyday exercise. I've also been a bit more conscious of what is going into my body, even if I do still each chocolates and such.:-p

I haven't properly weighed myself, which I would definitely do in the morning time after I woke up, but I'll do that sometime next month to see if I am losing a little weight. I do believe that I am in the very beginning stages of "shaping" and I have a feeling that the fat that likes to hang around my sides, will start to get smaller soon. I think it's good to exercise everyday, no breaks in between, so I can't just say to myself, 'Oh, I don't have to do anything today, cuz I'll just work on it tomorrow!'

I think that if I leave myself any gap to just relax, then I will just get into the habit of relaxing more often in regards to the exercise. And I don't want to do this to myself.

It's strange to think we are already more than 3 weeks into the new year. I always think that time can't move any faster, but somehow in someway, shape, or form, it does. It is surely winter here, as cold and hard rain beat the windows of my flat. Granted I am up near the top half of the complex, the winds seem to be a bit more harsh.

I've been keeping track of out-goings of how much Jassen and I spend in groceries, and so far in January, we have spent a little more than £48, which so far is under the estimation that I created a week and a bit ago. I figured that an average, we must spend close to £35 a week, but I've been pretty conscious of spending and deals and going for store brands, as they seemed to be nicely priced.

What is a good idea, and what Jassen and I like to do is get the bog standard soup, say tomato, and then I just add veggies to the mix and serve it with a sandwich, or crackers, etc. BAM, you got yourself a simple little meal. Cost-effective too!

I am still struggling in the mornings to start my day, but yesterday I managed to get up around 8ish, and collect a package from the post office around 9. I also went straight to Asda(part of Wal*mart), and did some brisk food shopping, came home, exercised, did some training on Excel, since I haven't been too exposed to it, started training on Outlook(seems easy enough so far), and straightened up the place a little by vacuuming and some clothes washing...

So, all in all, I did accomplish a fair bit of stuff yesterday. I am hoping today to get going like I did yesterday, just to keep myself preoccupied. I signed up at a recruitment(temp) agency a few weeks ago now and have been waiting to get some sort of work, but my old job, supposedly it took them sometime to come back with a reference, which is the excuse as to why I wasn't being hailed down for work.:-/ I'm still on the hunt for other prospects and probably will be until I find that right thing.

Okay, so today I will be exercising as soon as I am finished blogging here, I will then ready myself for the day, head to Asda, as the kitties food supply is dwindling into the red, come back, attempt to slam dunk the Outlook training, since it seems pretty common sensical, and do a bit more research and applying job wise. Sounds like a fun filled kind of day.

Take Care!
