#oneaday Day 826: No-one needs to take their phone into a swimming pool. No-one!

I remember a few years back, the very thought of taking a camera-equipped mobile phone into a swimming pool would have immediately -- and quite rightly -- branded you as some sort of perverted weirdo. And yet for the last few times Andie and I have been at Center Parcs, we have witnessed the eyeroll-inducing...

#oneaday Day 825: Today is quiet

It's been a quiet day today, as we intended. Andie has been feeling a bit under the weather, so she has been taking it easy (she is napping as I type this), but I decided I'd go out and have a swim by myself earlier. It was a good time; I continuously swam (very slowly...

#oneaday Day 796: Midweek

It's the middle of the week, and I don't have a lot of specific things to talk about right now, so I will just waffle on about some bollocks and hope it fills my self-imposed "minimum" for each post I write here. Let's go! I am having an evening off from exercise. I bought some...

#oneaday Day 794: Motivational music

It will probably not surprise you to learn that I listen to a lot of video game music. Not only that, but I use video game music as an accompaniment to things that are not video games -- most notably, exercise. On my walks on the Common, I have been rediscovering some of the playlists...

#oneaday Day 790: Twinge

Last night, I thought, for a change, I would try using some kettlebells I bought ages ago to do some simple exercises. They are quite heavy kettlebells, because I originally bought them feeling like I should buy manly kettlebells, but have just never really got around to using them all that much. I did a...

#oneaday Day 789: Longing for the saddle

One of the things I miss feeling like I am able to do, being the size I am, is cycling. I've never been particularly good at cycling -- memories of coming off my bike and shearing all the skin off my arm as a child are still painfully fresh -- but there's something just altogether...

#oneaday Day 785: Portioning the blame

I had a roll of Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles yesterday. While looking up the nutritional information to add it to my calorie-tracking app -- I may have been having a little treat, but I was keeping within my daily calories -- I discovered that the tube felt the need to inform me that "1 portion" is...

#oneaday Day 783: Nothing compares 2U

When you are attempting to better yourself -- particularly if you know said process is going to be a long, drawn-out affair -- I have learned, over the years, that one of the worst things I can do is compare myself to others. This may not be universally true -- hence my use of "I"...

#oneaday Day 780: A Walk on the Common - The Text Adventure

Once upon a time, there was a website called Bitmob, whose users would get quite upset if you capitalised it "BitMob". On that site, the community could publish their own articles, and those which caught the attention of the site's staff would get featured on the front page. It was a great way for a...

#oneaday Day 770: Motivation: the Sergeant-Major vs the kind voice

At therapy today, we were talking a bit about motivation, and how I feel like I've been struggling with it a bit of late -- particularly when it comes to things like diet and exercise. One conclusion that I think we came to was that I am much more likely to be motivated to do...
