25 JulBusy, busy, busy!

Well this week has been crazy busy. I’ve had a couple of job seeking days which involved me  going on a couple of interviews / meetings whatever you want to call them. They try to help you understand how to find a job and try find me courses I could possibly progress onto. They also gave some tips on how to approach interviews  and improve your CV. It didn’t help too much but it certainly gave me a confidence boost. I have another quick meeting on Monday to improve my CV which I’m looking forward to. My CV is a shambles it needs a lot of improvement and things adding to it but I don’t have a clue where to start.

I went to the doctors Friday to get off of my medication I have been on for a long time to deal with my anxiety and depression. I am finally off them now for good. I stopped taking them on my own accord about a month ago now. I feel so much better and more confident since I’ve came off them which is weird. I was relying on them too much I think. What makes me happier about being off them is Rosie is proud of me :) She knows and has helped me quite a bit since I’ve been on them and I didn’t tell her at first as I didn’t think more of it. When I told her she was shocked and knowing she is proud of me just makes me so happy it’s unreal! :) I’ve also come off my sleeping tablets as I was having problems sleeping but I have a few left if I need to take them but after that no more.

Just in the process of moving Fragtopia over to our new web hosting at the moment and installing the forums. So glad we have new hosting thanks Elliot for offering us it at that nice price! We were getting sick of all the downtime on our old host but that won’t happen anymore with our new one thank god. It hopefully will draw in more users. If you haven’t checked out Fragtopia yet you can at www.fragtopia.co.uk our site isn’t up yet but once our forums our I will tweet it and the url will be www.fragtopia.co.uk/forums/ main page will be up as soon as possible but we need the forums up before anything to get everyone signed up again.

Anyway phew! That was one big update.. hope you like the new theme and I’ll try update again in a couple of days.

06 JunCan’t sleep

Well it’s 2 in the morning right now and I can’t sleep so I might as well fill you in on what I got up to yesterday. Well I went out early in the morning for my first real run in probably years as I don’t do sports or anything anymore but as you know I’m trying to get my fitness back up in preparation from the Territorial Army. I only managed a mere 6 minute run! Yes I know it’s shocking. I couldn’t believe it myself but goes to show how unfit I really am. I use my iPhone to record my stats using RunKeeper Pro. You can check the stats and the route I took here: http://runkeeper.com/user/sheeep

I shall be going for another run later once I manage to get some sleep. Going to try a steady 10 minute run and remember to take bottle of water with me as I forgot yesterday and ended up feeling really dehydrated and walking back to my house I felt so sick I thought I was going to pass out! The field are only up a hill from my street but it felt like a mission away. Soon as I got in I just got some water and just passed out my bed for a few hours I felt dead. I’m going to follow what Rosie said and use that as my guide “Don’t run until you can walk”. Very true point and I need to stop pushing myself too hard as I have at least a few months before I can join the TA.

Later on when I woke up I went round to my mum’s house for a bit because I hadn’t seen her all week and fancied giving her a visit. Stayed for my tea, watched a couple of episodes of Spartacus with my mum’s fiancée Dom and watched then end of Shrek 2 before going home. Didn’t do too much but I just wanted to see everyone it was nice. :) Even my little brother Jenson was beating me up and running off with his cheeky smile loved it. He is a spitting image of me as a young child and we are 15 years apart! I have a feeling he will look like me when he’s older.

Anyway not got much more to saw. Trying to get sleepy. I took a tablet which helps me sleep as I have problems sleeping. I’m just sat here listening to some Eminem. Can’t wait for his new album later this month! I absolutely love him. His lyrics are real and we can all relate to them in some way or at least some of us can.

That’s all for now thanks for reading. Good night / good morning ladies and gents.
