Diary of a bad eater...

(as of 4.44pm)
Guess what I've eaten today?
That would be 2 packets of snack sized chips and 2 and 1/3rd LCMs Split Sticks...
... 1 Yogurt and 1 and 1/3rd Chocolate...
....and a fun sized Timeout bar... actually, I'm eating that now...

...yes, I know- It's terrible, but the thing is- I haven't been shopping this week.
Or last week....
 So I have had to eat what's in my room (not much, after 2 weeks placement, prior to last week), what I get from the canteen, and two dinners a week that the Res provides... I am currently hanging out for one tonight... only about an hour and a bit to go... I think I have some tortillas if I can't make it or I could cook up some pasta, like I did for breakfast the other day...
But, seriously.. If you know any quick, tasty (and nutrition wouldn't hurt me either) meals for one... please, please let me know....

Diary of a Gym Virgin...

Yesterday was my first ever visit to the gym... Yes, I got to 19 years old without ever having set foot in one. The instructor had to show me everything. I knew absoululy zero.. even the way I did push ups was wrong (although, granted, the last time I did push ups was when challenging my cousins to see who could do the most- p.s. most of my cousins are at least 5 years younger than me)
This morning before I went I decided I had better shave my knees... 'cos, you know they stuck out below my shorts... yeah, somewhat embarrassing, but oh well... am I the only person that does a thing like that? sit on the edge of the bed to give 'em a touch up? ...oookay then, moving on...
I then had to walk across the Uni Res and part of the campus to get to the Uni gym, feeling like a dork in what used to be a school sports uniform (my younger sisters school sports uniform)...
And when I got there the rather attractive gym trainer guy has to run me through a program to see what goals I'm trying to achieve... um, I wanna loose my slightly podgy tummy... I just told him I wanted to improve my strength and fitness... So he shows me everything there is, and I can barely keep up with the automatic running machine... now I'm not really that unfit... I walk fast everywhere (probably 'cos I just don't want to waste time just getting places.. is that a form of laziness?).. but my calves were starting to sting... I was counting down the minutes till he came to tell me I could finish and go on the bikes... where I wasn't really fast enough... the whole gym is way too high tech.... and after that he had to walk me through how to do a push-up, a sit-up, a lunge and a triceps press... *sigh, I didn't even get a go on the rowing machine... after one round of the strengthening exercises (10 each) I headed for home.... and ate chocolate slice...

My legs don't actually hurt to day... it's my shoulders I can't move...

Diary of a lazy emailer

Want to guess how many unread emails there are in my mailbox it the moment? The answer is 552. Mostly junk... the problem is I just keep letting them pile up, and then they get too many for me to go though. Although that figure is less than it was a while ago, when I had another attempt at a clean out. That's the thing with technology... it starts out as a convenience, or an entertainer... and before long it has become a chore....
and then of course you can always move on and find something new....
The first thing I got into was Yahoo!Answers.. though some friends at school... then that died out...then I got into Polyvore (different set of friends) ...that still hangs on as a current obsession... then there was a blog.. Facebook... Youtube.. and the never ending array of amusing sites to enjoy, the Taste of Awesome, Cakewrecks, notalwaysright, etc..... one fades out as another one lures...
