The laughable life of Stacey!

Firstly, it is with great pride that i congratulate myself on blogging AGAIN this month... The only problem is i am likely to be seen as 'over-doing it' and inadvertently bore you! Therefore, i plan to keep it short and sweet and update you on a few things!
As most of you know, i have made it my quest this year (well...April onwards) to loose some weight.. ive managed 3 stone, but want to loose 1 more which just wont budge at the moment- i am therefore doing my upmost to get back on track! ...(here's where the 'laughable' bit comes in)... ive bought an 'Ab Trainer'.

I dont know why this lady is smiling.

Now, said piece of equipment looks easy to use when i see people using it at the gym, but i hadnt dared go in it there as 1. Id do it wrong, 2. Look a fool 3. Feel a bit of a pillock when all the slender fit people began whispering amongst themselves "yeh she is the one who rolled around like a complete goon on the mats last week..."
I managed to put the thing together yesterday and have a couple of goes (blatently doing it wrong but i looked good according to mum), although i hadnt realised the size of it- it now takes up pretty much my entire bedroom. But hey-ho, i am being pro-active i suppose. Lets just hope i actually use it! Like i said, im also a member of a gym now. Im pretty proud/ suprised at myself for keeping it up actually (although it could be something to do with the fact that if i go at least 2 times a week i only pay £11.40 a month, compared the thier extortionate £42 pricing at LA Fitness.) I attend 'Legs, Bums and Tums' on a Monday evening and 'Yoga' on a Wednesday. The latter is pretty laid back, even though you are pretty much strecthing your body beyond recognition for 1.30hrs! But the Monday class.... Its something else! Lets just say the first week me and Claire went we were unsure we would move much, if at all the next day! But ive kept it up for a month now... suffered through the pain.. and what have a i gained... ZILCH! Infact i curse the girl in front of me whose rhythm, flexibility and pace would be enviable to an olympic gymnast- she is using up all the energy in the room and leaving none for me!

Ah well, the other big thing going on with me now is university. Living at home this year is very odd, but also very nice! The commute really isnt that bad (i say after week 2) and my modules seem OK. However i am already facing the biggest problem to all students- procrastination. Now, here is where i admit that as i write, i am in fact at Essex University library (i've travelled the over hour long journey to use thier facilities), and it has become clear that my second blog of the month is being published for no reason other than my dissertation summary, plan and bibliography are to be in by tonight via email.
With this, i feel i best actually do something...maybe break some more faux pas and eat an apple at the desk or something, who knows, i am an anarchist, living on the edge. I will also advise that i have a presentation and 2 essays due in, in 2 weeks time, so know doubt you will hear from me then! x
