ticker
the hip hop dancing class yesterday was fun. it was hard work too! what i didn't expect was that i'd have to learn a routine. i thought it would be just moves! silly me. i'll have to practice it at home now.
it's cool to have this class at my gym. it's choreographed by jamie king, he's choreographed some music videos for madonna and such and i've read about the classes in cosmopolitan or elle (can't remember but my money's on cosmopolitan).
however, when i came home and showed mark the routine he said it was good but he'd hardly call it hip hop dancing. well. what does he know? ;) but no, the thing is, the actual thing is called 'rockstar workout', but my gym calls it 'hip hop dancing' so i don't know! let's just say i've not seen a rockstar doing moves like that (perhaps i should teach mark some haha), popstar yes, but rockstar, no.
we went to the trafford centre last night and i bought a really nice towel from john lewis. it's made out of egyptian cotton (why is egyptian cotton better than any other cotton? anyone knows, let me know) and it's a nice beige colour. i'll use it for the gym. it's nice and soft.
i also bought jelly lolly. it was lovely! so sweet :) it was nice to have a treat. oh, as i'm writing this i'm thinking 'fried rice for tea today' but guess what? one of my 'other goals' is no take-away this week. oh well. guess i only need to wait another four days.
the gym today wasn't great. i had to wait for the bus for over half an hour (this post was almost titled 'fucking buses' but i've calmed down now) cause the one i usually get was (i'm assuming) cancelled. good job i wasn't going to a class cause i would have been screwed. gah!
my hip started to hurt as i was walking to the gym. it was still hurting when i went on the treadmill and although i tried running it wasn't happening. it just hurt and i was scared i'd damage it or something so i walked for half an hour instead. (when i told mark later he said 'your hip hurt because you did hip hop dancing yesterday' :D) then i did 15 minutes on recumbent bike and 15 minutes on the rower. then 100 sit ups and stretches. so few people stretch after the exercise in the gym. not very good!
one girl from the gym reception calls me by name. not only when i come and she can see my name on the computer. no. she calls me by name when i leave too! i guess i must be a regular now ;)
oh, and about the ticker. i like to look at it. it says 16.4 kg lost 12 kg to go. it feels good that i've lost more than i need to lose. and it will look even better with every lost kilo (or even half a kilo). it just makes me proud. i can do this. 12 kilos is nothing!
