fitness motivation and sleeping

what a lovely moning it is today and once again ill be on my bike later iam going for a longer cycle to work today as part of my peperations for my cycling holiday iam thinking of doing next year, later this year i would like to attempt to cycle to skeggy which i think i could do no problem in another 2 months time,

iam thinking at this moment of my fitness it would take me around 11 hours as its 80 odd miles away that would make me a average of 10 miles an hour which i could easyily do, last week i cycled 70 miles and that was just to and from work and into town once and twice as iam using my bike a lot more for short journys and when i get more fitter ill cycle farther a field one of the reasons iam doing this cycling is as work is going to start to charge me 350 pounds a year to park my car at work and no way iam not paying that much to park at work when iam not even guarateed a parking space,

ive been on and off cycling to work for the last year now and i can cycle 10 mins quicker than drive to work main reason of me cycling quicker than driving is of the build up of traffic through town they sometimes average 10 miles an hour and i can be anything upto 20 mph so do the sums lol but iam getting fitter and even the cycle home isnt such a chore now as iam getting up carlton hill more hopefully in a nother couple of weeks ill be albe to cycle up all of carlton road as its a big long hill

also this last month my sleeping has seemed to of sorted its self out ive been sleeping quite good not waking up 3 or more times a night and averaging more than 5 hours this weekend i had 20 odd hours stright sleep 10 on sat and 10 on sunday and i think thats helping me as well, so all good at the moment but just wish may will be nicer money wise as like i mentioned in a other post april has been a right bitch,

my drinking has almost become non existent this month i can count the amount of beer ive had on my fingers as ive hardly had anything i have been going to the local to see friends but ive only had a couple of soft drinks then at the end of the eve ive just had 1 beer and ive been feeling loads better my friends find it strange not to see me drink but iam happy not to drink loads of beer and feel rough next morning,

i did think about totaly stopping drinking earlyer in the year but i do like a beer every so often and i thought if i limit my drinking down i can still enjoy a beer without drinking a load which ive been doing the last coupe of months like last night i got home from work and went on call of duty and just had 1 can and realy enjoyed it

anyway enough of me going on its a nice morning and iam off for a cycle before work have a goodun and stay safe

music

as long as i can remember ive always been into my music my fav music is rock but will listen to anything and even a little bit of country and western for a long time i used to use tape and record then after one to many of my fav tapes got chewed up i went on to cd

i was starting to get a few cd's built up and was runing out of room, at this point i was using my pc to listen to my music i download my music and put it on my large hard drive and upload the playist on my winamp player and thats how i play my music for the last couple of years but iam getting so much music and running out of space on my hard drive and the time it takes to sort on the pc iam thinking of putting my music back on to cd once again

but on my pc i have almost whole collections of albums so in some case's like areosmith i have more than 10 albums iam not sure how far to go with putting my music back on to cd, do i make one or 2 cd's of each group or make my own cd's and have what music i want on the cd so i can have 18 songs on one cd of different artists iam not sure yet i might even continue to keep and play my music from the pc and just get another hard drive as they are quite cheap now

as daft as it sounds if i buy 5 cd's that will pay for a 500gig hard drive so iam going to have a think of what to do as ive got every now thats whati call music album on my pc and thats 70 odd albums just think of that lot alone on cd but i do have the room to keep cd's so not a problem. but with the amount of music i have on my pc ill soon have a couple of hundred albums along side my 200 albums i already have displayed on my cd units i have down one side of a wall

anyroad i best get on and its turning nice out there

time

well what a month this has been so far very hard on me money wise as its just been all pay out so not had much fun this month but i'd rather go through the month like this then go into debt unlike i have done in the past but hey its payday in a couple of days time and hopefully nothing else will go wrong which ill have to pay out for

ive spent 4o0 quid on my car this month ive had to tax and mot my car which came to 300 then a new key for my car so quite a drain on my wage, i suppose i could of waited a bit longer for my car key but ive been putting up with it for a year now and its starting to be a pain as when i need to open my boot its a pain in the arse routine its not a simple operation of just putting your key in thr drivers side door and all the other doors and boot open as well so i got a new key it will now be just a case of press a button on my key and everything opens nice and easy

also this month ive had mega computer problems think ive found whats causing my computer to play up but i think i do need a new pc, as mine is 5 years old now and its had a hard life the poor thing iam thinking of a mac but they are quite expensive so iam still deciding what to do about that and also thats why ive not been in blog land much but i will make a point of coming and visiting you all soon

think the reason why ive not had much time this month is of my addiction to call of duty 4 modern warfare ive dont the story line game and now iam online with my xbox iam getting into the online mulitplayer games and iam so addicted to it, iam builing my experience points and now iam a sargent yeah which means i can customize my weapons and make them a bit better, the other eve i went on for 10 minuets the next it was midnight i thought opps i best get to bed

also this month ive not been very well and needed a week of sick from work which ive not done for a long time its just a day or 2 but i was realy bad i had a bad chest infection and asthma problems plus i was fighting a flu bug off which didnt help i had it for 2 weeks one min i was starting to feel better so i kept coming to work the next i was rough as hell it got to a point where i just needed time off so for the week while i was off sice i just slepted and boy did i sleep

i think i was just rundown think my eating pattern didnt help either but now iam all back to normal i dont sound like a 80 year old man or feel like one and ive got a good eating pattern sorted out and it seems to be working quite nicely so ive had quite a month but on the whole 2010 is going much better than 2009 did and ive even had a couple of days out so its not all to bad

i will be posting more during the day as ive got more to write and say have a goodun and stay safe

back to work

well iam back to work today after 2 weeks off work and its gone quite quick the 1st week i was off work sick and i was quite bad with asthma and some flu bug i caught but a week in bed sleeping for england and 40 quid at the chemist for various drugs i was back to my oldself last week was busy

i did lots of painting and work in the garden and spent a bit of time on the xbox i was getting quite hooked on call of duty modern warfare the online gaming is great the 1st week while i was off i spent a whole day on it sad i know but way addictive, i got everything done i wanted and iam readyish to go back to work this afternoon

also my car is in for its mot today iam sure nothing big needs doing if anything a break pipe might need changing like last time, ive not bothered with a service this year as i dont think ive done the huge mileage like i normaly do these last 12 months think my biggest miles per month ive done is 400 this month ive only done 300 but next year ill have a service tho as i think iam going to be doing some mileage now the nice weather is getting better

anyway i best get meself a wash and get off to work stay safe out there as theres still madduns around

skeggy

me and my girlfriend went out for the day yesterday and went to skeggy for the day yeah some of you might say its rough and rubbish but i like going there got a nice clean beach and you can walk for miles on it as well, which we did it was just nice to be on the beach and having some sea air

the journey wasnt to bad you had some twunts who insisted driving so slow they held up every body else but apart from that it was a painless journey, we went into one cafe for a cuppa tea which was very expesnive for a cuppa tea and scone with a bit of jam and butter it was going to cost 3.50 each, but joann knew of a place which we went to later in the afternoon if you dont mind a bit of church music there is a place near eptions chippy youcan have a cuppa and a cake for 99p and that was a bluddy good bargin we both had a cuppa and scone with a bit of jam and butter for 99p each they were home made scones as well i even gave a 50p tip in the jar as i was so inpressed

you do have to shop around in skeggy for the bargins tho as the prices can change quite a bit even for fish and chips went to that cafe which was expensive and it was nearly 7 quid but a place near the car park fish chips and peas were 4 quid and it was bluddy nice as well, on the whole had a good day out made a change to get away from nottingham to be honest

bank holiday madness backend of winter

well here is another bank holiday easter infact normaly when i comes to bank holidays i dont bother going anywhere as on the roads its chaos they blocked up as everyone wants to get out and about and there also blocked or closed by numptys crashing into each other or something or the other,

this bank holiday iam staying put doing a couple of jobs around the house get me veg plot ready and have a bit of a rest ill be goign to help me dad replace some of his windows and watch plently of telly with some xbox time as well, the last bank holiday i went away somewhere i got my car wrote off in quite a major accident that will be another story for another time

one thing which ive found intresting are the storys about how crap this weekend is going to be weather wise yeah yeah we have rain high winds and maybe a little bit of snow all i can say is hey people it is the back end of winter and yeah there is still a bit of bad weather still to come even tho we are now in spring but only just in spring so yeah for the next week or so we will see some wintery weather happening just live with if

there will be other bank holidays to go away with and on monday i will be venturing out but ill not have to deal with the other nutters as when iam setting off on monday morning most people will have gotten to there destination or just not bothering iam only going to skeggy with the girlfriend for the day but be nice to get away be a hour and a half drive and we'll be at the seaside weather permitting

anyway iam off to bed as its calling me big tme its all ive seem to of done this week while ive been off work sick but ive got next week off as holiday from work fingers crossed iam all fit and back to full steam as these last two weeks have been horrid but i think iam over the worse of it now, if your out and about this weekend stay safe out there as its going to be chaos
