first day at work

so thanks to maisarah i started as a part-time teacher at a child-care centre near home today. i can't say that i had a blast but it was bearable. so why am i doing it u ask? well for several reasons. firstly the hours are great...from 8 to 1, which leaves me with plenty of time to hit the gym in the afternoons. this way i can finish my last 10 or so sessions with din. secondly the place is like two bus stops away from home, not only translating to more sleep(i'm really not a morning person) but also a mandatory 10 min walk. and of course there's cash involved.ok not much, i earned way more as a private tutor, but its been so long since i've had any of my own that it'll be a liberating experience.

so anyway my first day was kinda like as bad as it can get, vomit included. the class is difficult to control because it's comprissed of students of different ages. but thank god there's tv time and meal time so its not like i have to be after them for all 5 hours. i really don't myself staying more than a month.

today wasn't all that bad. i finally made it to the gym. did a 30 min walk on the treadmill at increasing inclines. felt great to be all sweaty again.my brother would probably say that there are more interesting ways to be sweaty, but then i digress. wore a knee guard during the workout and i felt it only slightly. afterwards i did some ab work, and weight training for my back and arms.i can't get over how confident i've become using the gym equipment. din certainly has taught me well.

its confirmed. my weight is 72kg. which means i've gained like 0.2kg, hardly significant. bad news tho is that i've been hovering around this weight for like weeks. i know this means that i should probably kick my cardio up a gear but this isn't really possible at the moment. arrgh. i'm just a little whiny today because i'm ill(the blasted flu). i'm sure after a good nights' rest it'll all be rosy tomorrow. i'm alive, healthy and well (almost completely at least). and i've got wonderful, nurturing people in my life. my life is pretty darn great at the moment and i'm not gonna let a damn plateau ruin it for me.
