Not much of a headliner for non-fans of Family Guy. Hmm.. I never realised how good these Gu-Gurt tubes taste until I saw “Try them frozen!” on the side. So I did. Yum! Great for cooling down after a half-hour jog. Sienna always got me to buy the tubes and she ate them so I figured I’d try one frozen.
I read in the Sydney Morning Herald website about a new study into weight-loss exercise. Some people tested a theory. You sprint for eight seconds then walk for twelve then sprint 8 walk 12. Apparently people lose a lot more weight this way. Well, I’ve been doing it for the last week. The first couple of days I could not even walk afterwards. In fact, the next day at work I was walking like I’d been riding a horse for a week. The worst part was walking downstairs. But, now I try to exert more and sprint harder, building up the muscles. I don’t know if the weight-loss part is working as I have no scales and don’t want to get into anal ‘weigh yourself every day and agonise” mode so I do it more for the exercise. Building up strong lungs is always good as well.
Yesterday morning we jumped on my pushbike and rode a couple of kilometres down the roads to a new park near the shops where we hadn’t been before. Sienna saw the park and got excited so we stopped for about 40-45 mins and played on all the stuff there. There’s more bigger things to play on so I could get on them with her more than when we went to the park closer to home. We might make it a weekly event as Sienna seemed to enjoy it immensely. When we got home we had a bath and when I pulled the plug out the bottom of the bath was black.. like mud-covered! You have to admit that’s a good indicator of a fun time!
In the morning we weeded out the front garden near the door. Sienna did some digging with the garden trowel poppy gave her at Christmas time. (Not a Xmas gift but she loved it when he let her play with it so she got to keep it. I had broken my plastic one anyway. She said I could share her new one with her sometimes).
We also went shopping after lunch time. My landline home phones have been rapidly dying over the last few months so I decided to bite the bullet (ouch) and shell out for a new one. I looked in Tandy, K-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Target, Telstra. Target had a funky Telstra phone which looks like an iPod. Damn.. can’t find a photo of it online. Anyway.. it was $99 and I wasn’t quite prepared to pay the for one phone, no mattery how clone-y it looked. I ended up at Telstra where they had a funky Uniden down from $79 to $69.
So I bought it.
