Four bags!

Posted inReflections, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments
I filled four bags with my old clothes. Crazy. It was mostly old stuff that doesn't fit anymore, but some of it I don't think suited me nowadays, or wouldn't suit the person I'm projecting my self to be. Also sorted out my supplements for the next two weeks and had a tidy. Threw out a lot of stuff. Plan…

The Mission – updated

Posted inThe MissionNo Comments
So I had a look at my old plans and it was glaringly obvious why I was drifting, rudderless. Apart from learning to drive and buying a car, and taking the next step in my counselling journey, I'd ticked off everything that was possible to tick off. And even then, there are plans in place to complete those objectives. A…

Self-isolation, quarantine, whatever this limbo is; week seven

Posted inCreativity, Physicality, Reflections, Site Related, The MissionNo Comments
Time is strange at the moment. It goes fast, but feels slow. Days take ages, but are over before you know it. This strange coronavirus limbo is warping things. It's so quiet outside, it's unreal. Eerie. Spooky. It feels like the entire world has been paused. I didn't get a rowing machine in the end, I'm ashamed to say the…

Self isolation, week three

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Last week went a bit quicker than the first week of isolation - but I put that down to not being on high alert in terms of anxiety the whole week. It's reared it's head again, but I'm slowly reeling it back in as things settle down. Looking back to the first week, I was neurotic. Overthinking. Fell to the…

L3CiCS Reflective Diary – 25th October 2019

Posted inQualifications courseworkNo Comments
This week we learned about diversity through exploring the membership of the course group: the different beliefs and behaviours. This enabled us all to become aware of the demographics of our group, for example our culture, family, nationality, race, age, gender, disability or sexuality. We went round the group and everyone said a few words about some of their diverse…

My thoughts and experiences with Fitbits

Posted inEssays, The MissionNo Comments
After using a variety of Fitbit devices over the last couple of years, I thought it was about time I talked about them, and how they have helped me to keep track of my fitness goals. My first Fitbit was a Charge HR, and I bought that in September 2016. I loved it! Seeing how many steps I had done…

What’s the score?

Posted inSite Related, The MissionNo Comments
When I first started writing a blog back in 2005 I had no idea I'd still be writing it now. I thought it'd be a short-lived thing. I wouldn't stick to it. That would be the kind of thing I do. But here we are, thirteen years later. I've moved all my posts over from various other websites I've had…

n00b gainz

Posted inBooks, Physicality, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments
Exercising is fun, and as the title suggests, I've made some n00b gainz. My trousers are looser, so I've clearly lost some belly fat. My weight has remained the same however, so I have built some muscle. I do feel like I need to go more than once a week to cement these gainz in the long run though. And…
