Sunday 014

Happy Sunday folks :)

I hope you've enjoyed your weekend? Most of mine has been spent playing with the the html for my blog. It was blinking hard but I'm happy with it. For now! Just need to make a decent header and a little button and I'll be a happy little bunny.

♥ Curly hair FTW. My hair is naturally curly, and since I've run out of my beloved John Frieda 3 Day Straight, I'm embracing the natural for a while. Until I get bored. On the subject of hair - remind me never to have a fringe again. It is pissing me off immensely. Styling it every damn morning is getting on me neenars, trying to clip it out of the way when I'm exercising is a pain in the butt, and trying to keep it out of my eyes on a windy day is just the icing on the frigging hair-hating cake.

♥ Yesterday was the first time I worked out properly for such a long time. Firstly I went out for a jog. I use that word loosely as it was kind of a prance with excitement then a stumble with exhaustion! I didn't enjoy it one little bit but feel very proud that I did actually drag my arse out of bed. It was super duper windy though so I did struggle, and I only managed to get about 20 minutes in. Better than nothing but I wanted to do more. To make up for it, I did another little workout when I came home - I did some push-ups, crunches, starjumps, lunges and squats. Whilst I was doing my squats I felt a popping behind my knee. I've had it before from running... well, the more I think about it, I've always had trouble with my knee. If you have any exercise plans that are knee friendly, send them my way! Normally I'd use this as a perfect excuse to claim exercising is barbaric and torturous, but I really want to do it so want to to do it properly. I woke up feeling fine this morning but as soon as I got out of bed and walked down the stairs, the aching started in my legs. Ouch. Just goes to show it's working, if nothing else. I'm planning on doing some more today but if my knee is hurting I'll have to skip the lunges and squats. I can live with the aching, it's the sharp knee pain that does me in. No jogging today either but Mr Lollipop and I are heading out to walk the length of the beach and back when he gets home from work. Must resist the ice cream parlour's call of their Turkish Delight ice cream!

♥ Last night I went out for an hour with my girlfriends from work. It was a combined leaving do for three of the girls (one's left the company, one has left the branch, and the other is graduating so will be locuming around the area instead of being just based with us). I literally stayed for just over an hour, so I felt like a bit of a party pooper. Truth be told, I can't handle my drink very well, and didn't have the mentality for a night out in Swansea. Last time I went to Swansea I got pissed in my friends house, got ill in the taxi, threw up in the first bar we went to, then phoned Mr Lollipop to pick me up, so I was home in bed by 9:30pm. Not good. Last night was a lot more subdued for me, but I did enjoy a little drinky and a catch up with my friends.

♥ Who else is excited for Harry Potter? Both myself and my honey are super excited and can't wait to go and see it. We are trying to decide the best time to go to avoid sprogs little people on their school summer holidays. Mr Lollipop is currently reading the last book to refresh his memory, but considering I sobbed the majority of the way through it, I don't think I will for a while. I remember sobbing in bed at 1am, refusing to sleep until I had finished it. Then I was too upset to sleep properly. Sigh. It's the end of an era, and I definitely think there'll be more tears!

♥ Listening to : Chase & Status ft. Tinie Tempah & Wretch 32 Hitz, LMFAO Champagne Showers, Vato Gonzalez Badman Riddim, The Wanted Glad You Came, Bruno Mars (or Glee, not fussy which version) Marry You, and Katy Perry Last Friday Night (TGIF). Phew! Lots of tunage this week!

♥ Few to follow : Laura, Michelle and Katie.

Tell me about your weekend :) And if you have any knee-friendly exercises, let me know!
