I love my train and tram trips to and from work each day.

Working from 8 to 4 each day (rather than the more conventional 9 to 5) means I tend to miss the very crowded peak hour ‘sardine’ trains. Which is awesome. There’s nothing worse than a serious invasion of personal space in what can only be described as an over packed sweat box.

The 20 minutes I spend on the train each morning and afternoon is the perfect amount of time to check my emails and quickly catch up with the latest happenings on Twitter. Most days, I even mange to fit in a quick game or two (I’m currently addicted to DoodleJump & Scoops). I know it may sound a little strange, but I really enjoy the ‘me’ time I get on public transport!

Yesterday I underwent a free health check at work. The fitness lady checked out a few different things for me including my blood pressure, blood glucose levels, cholesterol & weight.

My results were good. Nothing stood out as unusual and on a whole I’m pretty fit. However, one of my results showed that I’m at a slightly increased risk of heart disease, meaning I really should make an attempt to become just that little bit healthier…

I’m the first to admit I’m absolutely hopeless when it comes to sticking to exercise regimes. I tend to come up with these elaborate plans that are good in theory, but when it comes to execution I’m nowhere near motivated enough to stick with them. It doesn’t help that the hours I work can sometimes be extremely long and are somewhat unpredictable. I think though, after the chat I had with the fitness lady, by making a few small changes I can achieve what I need to without changing my lifestyle too drastically.

Eric Northman (yum!!) · being almost completely moved in to the new apartment · random memories from highschool induced by listening to awesome old school songs (spoon – the way we get by) · Gordon Ramsey’s ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ · the way Chewie gets super excited & wants to shnuggle the moment I get home from work · my iPad · Adamy · Melbourne breakfast tea from T2 · Toy Story 3 · slowcookers · Phona’s Tokidki gumboots · cheese pizza · the music from ‘glee’ · the fact tomorrow is Friday ♥

Adam and I are moving house next week and all I’ve been doing for the last week or two is going to work and then coming home to pack boxes.

Keiko and Chewie are both trying their hardest to be as annoying as possible.

They both absolutely love boxes and bags. Nawwwwwwwwww. It’s just as well they’re cute!

Chewie is coming with me and Adam and Keiko is moving with my flatmates. I’m beginning to think that they’ll miss each other quite a bit…

I’m still alive! :D
