&lt;p&gt;This week has been pretty hectic! I started my new job at The Spa here which is a big entertainments venue in our town which hosts corporate functions, music and art events and big shows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I knew this job would boost my weekly exercise as I would be constantly on my feet walking at a fast pace….&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WOOHOO!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Saturday I weighed in at &lt;strong&gt;149.4lbs&lt;/strong&gt; which smashed through that 150lb goal I’ve been hovering around for the best part of 6 months!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t dare look again until this morning in case it had gone back up and was just a fluke or my scales had broke..lol! But I got on this morning and…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I want to get a Ukulele and learn it one day.. Can’t be too much different from guitar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I too thought this, so I bought one thinking… what a good idea for festivals… a mini guitar..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its totally different… chords don’t ‘ring’ so strumming patterns have to be different, chords are different (some same shapes = different chords = confusing), the strings don’t graduate up the scale as guitar strings do (two middle strings are thicker than the outer strings, I’m sure there is a technical term for this but having never had lessons I have no idea :P).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you look at the Uke as a totally different instrument to a guitar.. you can start having some super fun playing it! I love mine and for some songs I much prefer the Uke to a guitar :) ‘Hey Soul Sister’ by Train is a perfect example :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10436653008</link><guid>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10436653008</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:43:25 +0100</pubDate><category>guitar</category><category>vs</category><category>ukulele</category><category>personal</category></item><item><title>Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts!</title><description>&lt;a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/11/dogs-dont-understand-basic-concepts.html"&gt;Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts!&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Very very funny blog, This is pretty much my two dogs haha! &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10376611828</link><guid>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10376611828</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:52:26 +0100</pubDate><category>Dogs</category><category>cute</category><category>funny</category><category>comic</category><category>lol</category></item><item><title>Possibly the best thing I have ever seen!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="10008" width="501" src="http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3296/371cef4bbvekx.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10200804028</link><guid>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/10200804028</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:10:47 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqeoqwCocV1qiu4gao1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/9375619278</link><guid>http://bekz.tumblr.com/post/9375619278</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:57:52 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>wutdanom:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ran for &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5 sessions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; over the week, between 2 and 3 miles each time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My boyfriend Pete &lt;a title="Pete Dailymile" href="http://www.dailymile.com/people/PeterD83" target="_blank"&gt;(if you use Dailymile you can follow him here)&lt;/a&gt; finally started running this week, so that was really nice to run along side him as he starts his training for a Triathlon in May 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunday was my first run on the beach (turned out to be almost &lt;em&gt;5 miles!!!&lt;/em&gt; *See above photo) with some friends who are training for The Great North Run so was fun trying to keep up with them (I had no chance…lol).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/303134_10150806818115651_855620650_20279937_817594_n.jpg" alt="Jen &amp; Sway on Beach Run" width="720" height="540"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is Jen on the left who is training for the Great North Run and Ben aka Sway who is insanely fit, think he recently completed a half marathon when he was only training for a 10k O_o&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hit Karate only twice but that was due to work getting in the way! Did have an excellent session on Thursday though where I met up with 3 of the ladies who are planning to take part in Kata competitions and we smashed through all of the Kata’s we knew and played with some new ones too!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was taken on Monday at Karate, why they insist on taking these unflattering stretching pics is beyond me :P (Please excuse my rude gesture…lol)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I bought some kitchen scales to keep a better handle on the quantity of food I’m eating which has immediately reduced most of my portion sizes.. breakfast is about 75% less than I previously ‘guessed’ the portion should be… which is an eye opener!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall this week has been great! I’ve felt motivated and energetic! There was one night that was boozy and filled with junk, but it was an lovely night spent with friends from out of town (who then made me run on the beach to make up for it :P) so was worth it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another week like this and I should really start to feel the difference and maybe even see it on the scales!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meeting some friends to go for a super early Sunday morning run! OK… well.. for running.. 9am &lt;strong&gt;IS&lt;/strong&gt; super early for me ;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should be fun, except for the fact that they are both regular 10k and half marathon runners and I have only dragged myself round one 5k lol!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So off to bed for me now after a…&lt;/p&gt;
