I'm *how* old?
Jan. 6th, 2010 07:51 pmSo. I joined a gym, despite previously considering them to be strange and alien places. I still have no idea what all their shiny equipment does, but apparently I find out on Friday...
Today involved a chat about food (I should eat more of it), water (I should drink more of it), and exercise (I should do a lot more of it). Lately, my daily routine has involved something like this:
Wake up, sit in front of the computer, start work, finish layout on a chapter, and then realise it's 1pm. Eat a late breakfast (probably at my desk), and work until lunch (4-ish). Then work until dinner (9ish or later). No wonder I'm becoming some kind of amoeba.
Sitting at a desk (computer or painting) for 10+ hours a day is not healthy, especially when I forget to take breaks, and work from home. Changing from one desk to the other, while productive, doesn't really count as a break. I'm getting lots of work done, but it is time for a change.
On a more amusing note, after the fitness/weight/age/height measurements were done, I was told that I have a metabolic age of 14...

My body is aching and in all sorts of pain for no good reason that I can see. I went to the gym on Tuesday- did next to nothing and what did I get for my trouble? Vomiting, cold sweats and fainting! What fun.
