Duvet experiment fails

I contacted a hotel we stayed at recently to get the name of their bedding supplier. You see, it was the first time dh and I both were comfortable. I'm usually cold, and he's usually too warm, so finding the right cover has been a bit of challenge. And we've been married 9 years!

So I call the supplier, have this fabulous, right weight, full-down duvet delivered, get some new 300 thread sheets for good measure, and prepare for an amazing slumber.

8 hours of more tossing and turning later, we give. DH didn't want to say it, so I put him out of his misery and told him even I was too hot to sleep comfortably.

Final word: back to bedspread and extra blanket for me. Duvet will get shipped to our winter home .. :(

Wheat, insomnia and other yukiness

Now I think I'm sure the reason I can't sleep is directly related to the amount wheat and dairy I consume. I tried it - stayed off wheat all week long, but Friday night couldn't resist that yummy Arrabbiata Cremosa. I was rewarded by waking up with a headache after tossing & turning all night ..

I can't believe I have to give up pasta. Perhaps just do them separately - wheat one day, dairy another day ...

Birth certificate saga finally over

After 5 years and change, the whole story of mismatched birth record thing has finally been resolved. The court accepted the petition to legally change the date. Yay. I can continue to celebrate my birthday on the same day I always have ... :)

Gama Fitness

Here's another one I came across. Something to do with politically incorrect fitness. Hmmm. YouTube has some of the videos here

Bodyweight exercise

Is this really the answer I've been looking for? I'm running out of excuses for not training regularly.

• First it was having no gym open early enough in the morning so I could it after work.
  
• Then one opened in my home town that opened at 5. Now I decided that driving over to it (which took about 3.5 minutes) was too much hassle to do on a regular basis
• Then we moved to a complex that had a gym at a 30 second walk from my front door.
  

Now I dont' know what excuse to have :( Then it hit me ... Bodyweight exercises!

Came across a wonderful site all about using your own bodyweight to achieve a lean, toned look.

I will plan on doing burpees and sprints to start with and see how many I can actually do in a day.

Finally beat procrastination

What is it about a non-technophobe that makes them the last to join the bare-it-all online revolution?

Frankly, it's more to do with keeping track of random thoughts, of which I am increasingly a victim, than telling all. Not that it is that interesting to ready anyway ..

Anyway, trumpets ..... here goes the first posting!!
