I 'slept in ' today, until about 10 a.m. which actually means that I woke up at about 7 am and then lolled about, just drifting in and out of sleep for the rest of the time.
I had some breakfast got ready to go to the gym and then went to see a friend nearby for a while before actually going to the gym (anything to put it off!) but when I got to the gym I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. The staff there are quite friendly and helpful and there is plenty of equipment; I tend to stick to just a few: the treadmill although I only walk on it, at the maximum incline of 15 degrees, so that walking at 5 km per hour really gets the heart going; I then go on the cross trainer for a few minutes, followed by the stair master which is an endless staircase, makes you feel like a hamster. Then I do a few muscle building exercises such as the calves which helps my walking.
When I got back home I had some food, watched snooker for a while and tidied up the living room. I am now on my computer and will go to a meditation class this evening, and then tonight I fancy watching that drama on ITV1 called Compulsion. I like a good drama because it is better than most of the other dross that is on tv these days. If its not a cookery programme, then its a make over programme either for the face or your house, or it's about a fat man's attempts to lose about 20 stone in a month; basically cheap tv where they just stick a camera in a room and watch people doing stuff and talking about stuff. There was a diy disaster programme recently which showed some promise to show some good diy techniques. However it just depicted the team acting the fool most of the time, rather than doing anything useful; the home owners were invited back to see the handy work which was very nice but we were not privy to how it was done. A big disappointment.
