Bling Gnome

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Have you guys heard about Dungeon Runners? It’s a new, slightly surreal sounding, role playing game that features little critters known as Bling Gnomes. A Bling Gnome is a..err..well blinged out gnome that follows you around collecting the items you leave behind, then basically poos them out as gold – I did say it was [...]

Father’s day, sorted.

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

One thing that I have to do before I go away on holiday at the start of next week, is get 2 presents sorted…one for my dad for Father’s day and one for my brother’s 30th birthday – both of which happen while I am away. I have mentioned before I am sure that I [...]

Heart Rate Monitor is here

Monday, May 19th, 2008

My Heart Rate Monitor arrived on Saturday, I thinks I like it. The first time that I used it on Saturday I was not impressed and thought it was going to have to go back, it was jumping all over the place…60, 140, 62, 145, 190, 59…etc. And I did nooooot like the read out [...]

Spacify.com – Ergonomic office furniture

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Unfortunately because of my job I have to spend a good portion of my day sat behind a desk, this isn’t great for someone who is trying to lose weight, but it certainly makes me appreciate high quality ergonomic office furniture, especially my nice big super comfortable chair that I know isn’t going to give [...]

Romantic getaway time :)

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

My other half and I are planning on going on holiday for our 5 year anniversary at the start of June, we have no idea where to go though. Since we have been together we have always been to the same place, but decided on a change this year – since it’s a special one [...]

Back on track

Friday, April 11th, 2008

The good news is that my migraine seems to have all but gone now, the further good news is that I didn’t put on any weight over the last week when I have done nothing but slob around in bed, hurrah. Tomorrow it’s time to get back into it, It’ll be the first time I [...]

Makeover Moments.

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I just watched the make over episode on the The Biggest Loser Australia, and I happened to be on my elliptical at the time. If any thing will push you to go harder and for longer, it’s seeing people who have lost any where from 50 to over 100 lb getting new hair dos, clothes, [...]

Let them eat cake!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Being my birthday…well, technically yesterday now, but since I have not been to sleep yet it still counts…I allowed myself a slice of lovely gooey coffee cake, I can’t remember the last time I had cake. I had requested that no one get me any naughty foods, and mainly people obliged….but my poor Dad was [...]

Mini goals mean treats for Toria!

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

I am still unwell unfortunately, I felt OK earlier so decided to give working out a go. 10 minutes I managed before I simply had to stop before I fainted, I have been in bed for several hours since. Boo. So looks like I almost certainly won’t be getting to my goal this week, but [...]

Under the weather

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

It never rains, it pours – or however that little saying goes. I have been unwell since Tuesday now and it’s starting to get on my nerves, I have tried to push through it but only managed to work out on Thursday. I have 3 separate complaints, I got my period which means I was [...]
