Today I continued my new-year-health-kick just about perfectly:-
I slept for 8 hours, ate a healthy breakfast of museli, dried fruit and nuts – good start to the day.
I went on to walk through the local Victoria Park, visited the British Museum to test my recently acquired knowledge of the ancient Greek artifacts. Two hours there was quite enough – the American and Japonese tourists there taking photos of everything. I suspect I’ve had my portrait snapped at least a dozen times as I strolled deliberately through their make-shift studios – they seem to manage to get the polite British to move out of the way and make plenty of rooms so that they can take half the gallery up taking a photo of one another but it means that people have to stop and wait while they do so.
Later I went to the gym (third day in a row, first day was working on upper-torso with some cardio, the next day was lower torso with no cardio and today was entirely cardio with no weights). I earned a ‘well done’ from the French personal trainer.
Afterwards I wandered through the assortment of Charing Cross bookstores for a while before spending nearly an hour shopping very carefully – two reasons/targets: super-healthy and budget. Reckon I’ve managed to get half the weeks food 100% healthy for less than £15.
Tried and failed to get a haircut. I think it might be sensible for me to take a course in hairdressing and do my own if that’s at all possible. Thoroughly fed up of a) paying to have my hair shortened b) having to alot time to having someone do so.
For now I’m going to work a little more on my iPod (a friend got me one for Christmas and in doing so finally brought me into the Apple-world) so that I can fill it with interesting podcasts to soon enjoy. I find iTunes very awkward to use though compared with Mobile Windows Media which for so long sufficied as my mobile-music solution. We’ll see how it goes…
