Being healthy

One of the drawbacks about doing what I do is that you tend to stay at home a lot, cramped up in a small room (or at least my room is small) and staring at a computer screen for aaaaaaaages. As a result your eyes look funny, your back hurts and God only knows what your internal organs and arteries think of you.

So, today, I went a bit healthy. I went into town for a nice stroll.

It rained and I had no umbrella. It was also f**king freezing.

But I did enjoy myself. It was nice seeing people, traffic and all those kind of things. But on a serious note the lack of movement I've been doing meant that my legs got tired really quickly. I had planned to stay out till about 3pm onwards but I had to come home at 11am because my hips were hurting. I plan on going back outside tomorrow though and I am going to try and make a regular habit of it. At a bare minimum I want to work away from home on two days a week.

While at home though I have been trying to be healthy. Lots of juice, water and healthy foods. I still splurge on cola zero and the odd bacon sarnie now and again but, hey, life is for living!!

I have been trying Yoga too. Yes, the charms of the internet gave me the idea to try a few simple yoga exercises. Unfortunately, the one problem about the net is it's hard to work out what is a good source of information and what is crap. One website told me that the "wheel pose" was a fabulous way for the beginner to start his yoga session. It looked easy enough. Let me see if I can find you a picture of it. Ah yes, here we go. Oh, and this wasn't the website that I used initially which told me it was a beginner pose:























As you can see it looks rather easy. I nearly broke my neck trying it!

I've used the image without the author's permission, I hope they don't mind. I am of course happy to give them a shoutout. It's from the quite excellent: http://www.juliesyoga.com/index.html

Again, this wasn't the website which misled me.
