When I went into the bank today to withdraw some money I was offered a life insurance policy. Can I not just withdraw my money without being sold something? They asked for my phone number so they could call me with a quote and I gave it to them – stupidly – but I won’t be answering the call. They have sent me about it a few months ago and I wasn’t interested then. I was just in a rush today and didn’t want to be mithered about everything!

If that wasn’t bad, I was then approached by an American preacher of some kind on the way home. I didn’t let him get far enough for him to explain himself, I just told him I wasn’t interested and then carried on walking.

If I want something, I will go and find it myself. I don’t need people coming up to me in the street talking to me about God and I don’t need to be sold things in my bank! Rant over.

I’m still looking for a job but still not having a lot of luck. Apparently, according to a government survey, my town is one of the worst for unemployment in the UK. So its not for want of trying, there just isn’t anything out there. The job search websites just have nothing in my area and things outside of my area that I can actually do, are not worth travelling too because by the time I have paid to get there and back, I won’t have really earned any money! I’d love to go on the job websites I go on and find it looking like the West Palm Beach job search website where there are loads of jobs to choose from. Hopefully the economy will improve in the next couple of years so I can find something.

I find it quite funny that you can buy testosterone cream. Apparently, its used to help with hair loss, impotence and increased muscle strength.I knew you could get tablets for that sort of thing but never a cream. Where would you put it?! I probably should take this seriously but I just think its funny. Would an oestrogen cream give you bigger breasts? I’d go for that .

On days like today when I feel lethargic, weak and just want to spend the day on the couch, I wish I just had a quick fix weight loss supplement like the ones over at www.naturalfatburner.org. But, doing it that way, you don’t get the great feeling that you get after a workout. You also don’t see those slight changes in yourself like healthier skin and hair because you’re eating better.Its worth the effort in the end even if you do have days like this where you could quite easily just give up. My goal today is to fill my body full of fresh food to bring it back to normal.

I haven’t bought any computer products from a long time. The last thing I bought was my new computer and all-in-one printer which was over a year ago now.When I still lived at home, I bought new computer products on an almost monthly basis. Whether it was a new game or an upgraded keyboard or just a little gadget.

Right now I would love a media streamer that allows me to play internet TV onto my actual TV. It would make my life a lot easier when it comes to doing online workouts and also watching the programs that I have missed during the week. I have wanted one for a long time but I just never have the money to buy one. I found one that I want but its over £100 so its going to be a while before I can actually put the cash up to buy it. I also found something called a KVM switch which allows you to use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor over several different towers. Its a great idea if you have several computers on the go.

I think once I have things sorted with money – and a job – I’ll probably start investing with my computer again. I miss buying new products.

Alex’s mum gets a lot of joint pain in her knee’s and ankles. I found this joint pain remedies website that may help her. Every time it gets cold she gets joint pain and if she sits for long periods of time. It would be nice to give her some kind of relief from it. She thinks her weight doesn’t help her but it can’t help to try out different remedies.

Meghan’s getting a little bit of eczema again on her arms. She had it when she was a baby, pretty much all over but it went away. She’s had dry skin since then but she woke up the other morning with sores on her arm where she’d been scratching in the night. Its nothing to worry about and she doesn’t need any eczema treatment other than regular creams to soothe it. I had eczema when I was a child up to about ten or eleven. Alex has had it from being a baby up until now but that’s because of his allergies. Hopefully Meghan’s just stays at this stage and doesn’t get any worse.

All of my websites don’t really get many visitors and half of it is probably by fault. All three are blogs and I really don’t blog enough. I just don’t have the time and then when I do have the time, I don’t have anything to say. I find myself blogging constantly for about two weeks and then nothing at all for the next two weeks! Sometimes I make the time to write scheduled blogs so that if I don’t end up having anything to say, there is still something going on over there for people to read.

I wouldn’t even know if any of my blogs are listed on any search engines. I found the best seo software for the job if I decided to actually try and get more traffic to my websites. I’m a bit of a private person – even though I write blogs to world! – and get a little weary when I get quite a lot of visitors. I think I’m happy being a quiet blogger. At least for now.

Most of you know what I have been on a healthy eating and exercise plan since September. I’ve lost around 11lbs since I started and also dropped a dress size. I did it completely on my own – well, apart from the support of the lovely people of SparkPeople.com – and I’m proud of how far I have come. I realise that some people need more help than others and use supplements or diet pills, like Solo Slim for example which suppresses your appetite but I really believe that if you want something hard enough, you will work for it. Its not been easy and I still have days where I eat too much snack food and I make bad meal choices but I listen to my body when I do this and remind myself of why I don’t eat like that any more.

Losing weight is not just about eating right, you really have to work at the exercise too. I work out a minimum of three times a week for 30-40 minutes but I try to add another one or two workouts per week in there. I make sure I have the time off too so my body can have a break. Resistance training is definitely important when it comes to exercise because it’ll help you tone the muscle and give your body more of a shape. This is the side I have been lacking on but I’m getting better at doing it. I did a number of sets of squats and lunges on Tuesday night and I’m still feeling it today!

Its slow going and its hard both mentally and physically but when your around two months in and you can see the results inside and out, it’s worth every single cookie and cake you have avoided!

I don’t really watch Nascar – well let me rephrase that, I never watch Nascar, but some of the Nascar jackets are really nice! I guess its sort of like when you see people with NBA shirts on but they don’t watch basketball. You’d be surprised how many people have loads of different basketball shirts of different teams just because they like the look of them. That probably wouldn’t happen in America where the actual teams are. I wouldn’t go around wearing a football shirt of a team just because I liked the colour. I’d probably get loads of stick for it for one!
