iPad 3 revealed next week!

The news from Apple has finally come, after months of speculation, they’ll be announcing the iPad 3 next Wednesday, 7th March 2012.

Most people are shocked when they realise I don’t have an iPad at the moment, particularly because I love Apple products (fan boy, was that?), but I’ve never really been able to justify the cost.. Although I think now I actually do see the use and value of a tablet, so the iPad 3 may be the one that I go for.. When I can afford to of course!

Also thought to be announced next Wednesday is a brand new Apple TV product, possibly with support for full 1080p (finally), and potentially Siri-enabled!

Gym Update – After 2 sessions

Hi All!

I had my second Personal Trainer session yesterday, and we concentrated on my chest and arms this time..

Now I’m not sure if it’s because I ate the right things 2 hours before, but this time I felt a lot less sick/dizzy than I did the first time around.. And I can already start to see progress in my biceps!

OK, so I still have a long way to go, but I couldn’t help but take a picture to see how good it looked on camera.. It’s nowhere near as good as some people, but after 2 sessions (and a few solo ones), I thought it was quite good!

My next session is next Thursday, so I have a big of a break, but I’ll still be plodding along solo a few times before then!

Gym Week 1 Update

I had my first Personal Trainer session yesterday, and despite realising exactly how unfit I am, I did kind of enjoy it. I spent a lot of time catching my breath and needing a few minutes rest, but as my Personal Trainer pointed out, this is just the beginning of my journey, so I’m bound to be like this to start with!

This morning I kind of ached in places I didn’t even know I had, but it felt good! REALLY good! I also received a text from my Personal Trainer to say how well I did, and it gave me a really nice boost as I was a little disappointed in myself for needing so much rest in between exercises..

I’ve been doing this for a little over a week now, and the current weight loss stands at 6 lbs.. So far so good!

I kind of hi-jacked a hashtag on Twitter for this, which was introduced to me by @maleo - who not only is devilishly handsome, he’s also on a mission at the gym… Follow us and a few others with the hashtag #ProjectDust

New HD Channels

So MTV UK launched on Sky in HD yesterday, and the news is that Animal Planet HD is imminent too. Exciting times for Sky HD, especially with what I’ve heard with regards to the coming months.. Including a brand-new Sky HD EPG with an un-delete function, and Sky Anytime+ being made available to all!

I’ve also heard of talk relating to a Sky Planner which is accessible from anywhere… Now I don’t know whether that means managing your planner from anywhere, or if it means you can watch the EastEnders you recorded last night whilst you’re on a train to Manchester..

First day of the rest of my life

So I haven’t posted on here in a long while! Sorry about that. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, I just didn’t want to bore you all with my ramblings.

So nothing much has changed since the last time really.. Except that I now have a Personal Trainer at the gym to help me to achieve my goals! I’m hoping to have shed at least a stone or two by the summer, maybe even more, but I’ll keep you up to date via here when I can! I’ll also try and post my meal diary.

Today I’ve had the following:

Breakfast: Bran Flakes with Semi-skimmed milk and a banana..

Lunch: Salmon with green beans and carrots

Dinner: Vegetable Soup

My first training session with the personal trainer is on Thursday, so I’ll let you know how it goes!

iPad 2 INCOMING

I LOVE APPLE.

Only they can create so much hype and excitement over something we know NOTHING about.

Take a look at the invite that was sent out TODAY (wednesday 23rd Feb). They will be announcing the iPad 2 on 2nd March – and I for one can’t wait.

I’ve tried to convince myself I don’t want or need one, much like I did with the iPod when that first came out, but I can’t keep it up I WANT AN iPAD 2, and I want it ASAP!!

A New Dawn

It’s a new dawn for me.

I’ve just marked my year anniversary at work, and this coming Monday I start my next exciting chapter there.

After a year in Sales, I will be moving to a team called the Livechat Team. They handle the queries coming through from passengers via the website, in the style of an MSN Instant Message chat. i can’t wait to get started!

Another exciting thing happening this Monday is mine and Ben’s 4 year anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been so long – in many ways it feels like only 2 minutes ago, and in others it feels like a lifetime. We’ve been through so much together and I know there is so much more to come. Dark times and bright times.

I also apologise for the lack of updates here too, something which I’m trying to rectify. I’ve just been so busy with work I haven’t had a spare moment to myself!
