HIIT

I have tried HIIT in the gym, and I also failed. It takes a lot of motivation to complete such training! And I am not about to pay someone to shout at me.

5:2 Diet

I have tried the 5:2 diet, and failed miserably. I think the trick is avoid hard work in between, otherwise it is very straining. I may attempt it again in a few weeks time.

Nuffield Health MOT

We sat Nuffield at Leicester Pride, and they did a quick Health MOT at the spot. I have refused to weigh myself since I have been in the gym. As the MOT concluded, I am still fat! I am still a way from my target! I have got to regain my motivation!

Leicester Pride Freebies

We skipped the parade and went straight to the stalls before the crowd and the rain arrived. We had a good haul this year at Leicester Pride! I got the opportunity to educate someone regarding hate crime and the difference between transgender and genderqueer. And I learnt a few things about solvent, aerosol and drugs. Pride is all about education!

Linseeds Perks

I have been eating linseeds since I moved to England. I consider it good dietary supplement, as it is cheap, required vast amount of chewing and majority would still pass untouched, in additional of being one of the few plant food containing omega 3. Then recently I got some promotional materials from Grape Tree that it also contain Lecithin and lignans, all the better. I will be stock piling them from now on.

Power Steering Fault

Car has so many parts, so far with my experience, any given one time, any given thing could fail!

Everything was fine until I restarted Kendrew and it could hardly turn, and I noticed the steering wheel warning light on.  I looked around the Kendrew, no puddle of oil; I looked under the bonnet, no apparent loose connection, so I called AA.

I called them about 7pm, they said it maybe up to 8:30pm. The app doesn't register the call until about 7:27pm, and the van turned up about 7:40pm.

Karl arrived just before 8pm. He plugged the computer in and still no obvious answer. He checked all fuses and earth, still no problem found so he has given up. Since my car was fine, I was told to drive home without power steering! And he offered to follow me home. I did have some problem with the small roundabouts and reversing into the parking space. I had o skip gym because of the problem, but I broke a sweat parking up! I have to try to sort it out tomorrow.
