February Highlights

Hello boys and girls, so I was suppose to submit this post like 3 days ago but due to lack of focus and being easily distracted it never got done. Like the million other blog's posts waiting in line. Apparently its a side effect from chemo but to be honest I've always left things to the last minute and it always ends up biting me in the butt, why do I never learn? So not only is this a bad habit of mine, its enhanced by the drugs I'm on, just great. Gosh, what am I going to be like when I back to my job and actually have responsibilities?

Anyways folks, I just want to update you on my awesome February, Its been good one and I've experienced some amazing times and I've had the chance to meet some amazing people. Great experiences that I will use all through out my life! I want to thank everyone that has inspired and taught me so much this month, truly honoured to meet you all!

FYSOT!

FIND YOUR SENSE OF TUMOUR!

2012

Hello boys and girlie's I'm actually doing a proper blog, I know shocking! Hold on to your seat belts your in for a bumpy ride.

 I just wanna say a massive thank you to TCT ( Teenage Cancer Trust) for holding an awesome conference and for letting me attend! I had an A-M-A-ZING time and I wanna shout out to all my "cancer friends" and a BIG shout out to TEAM MARSDEN! Oh and thank you Centres Parks for putting up with us! So for anyone that went to FYSOT and is reading this I think your AWESOME! Oh oh and one more thank you to Kim, Louise and Sarah for making sure I got there and just making the trip extra awesome.

I went to a few of the conferences and I gotta say I've never been so inspired to make BIG things happen. Not only were the talks inspiring but just the people that surrounded me are all really awesome, it was very over whelming but in a great way. Just one of the stories  that springs to mind is about the first cancer survivor to climb Mt Everest not only that but he has only one lung which is just crazy. I have so much respect for him and was lucky enough to meet him and shake his hand. I geeked out a little and I don't think being drunk helped much either, I don't think I showed myself up to much. But did ask if I could steal one of his wrist bands which says "keep climbing" and now a new accessory of mine.

I've got way over an hour of footage to rummage through and a few photos to mash up a video with so I'm super excited to show you all the goings on at the FYSOT! Also if you want to see footage of the conference then check out the website jimmyteens.tv It's a great website and it features video blogging of people with cancer and other bits and bobs. I'm also in one of the videos and only feature for like 5 seconds but hey that's all the fame I'm gonna get for the time being. 

It was just an amazing experience that I will never forget, such a great place, great people and great atmosphere! Hopefully they will let me back next year, if not I'm inviting myself! 

Let's keep kicking cancers arse!

TEAM MARSDEN! TEAM MARSDEN TEAM MARSDEN!

Intoxicated Snowball Fight!

WINDSOR - QUEENS CRIB

INTOXICATED SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Hello, hello, hello, well I'm back and with a brand new attitude. I think thats a song that just entered my brain while typing so I'm rolling with it. These two video blogs are of my weekend with Zaz and It was awesome! I don't get to see her very much so when we meet up its a big mass of hyper and sillyness. I took her to visit Windsor Castle and we just mooched round Windsor. Gotta say one of the best weekends I have had in a very long time. 

The second video is of a snowball fight slash antics we had in the snow after a few drinks at the tavern, I still have the bruises from the fails in the snow but totally worth it! I hope you guys all enjoyed the snow as much as we did! 

I'm nearly up to date on the videos then I might actually produce a decent blog, but don't count on it!

Olinseloss - WEEK FOUR & FIVE - FYF

Olinseloss - WEEK FOUR - FYF

Olinseloss - WEEK FIVE - FYF

So hey folks! I'm gonna apologise again for the slacking in blogging and not even updating, but I'm doing it now so don't go on about it. These are my latest weight loss videos which aren't all that interesting but for those who care, check it out! The main reason I'm posting these are because I actually won the Olinseloss challenge this week, which I'm so pleased about. ( I'll link and post the video below this, for those who wanna see the shout out.) I was mega shocked on the loss this week as it was 3lb and after the week I had of lack of fitness and not exactly the best diet but thats how your body works at times. Just hope it stays off, which all together makes over a stone, so I'm really chuffed at the moment!

I'm going to update properly real soon, I've been up in the clouds and not really with it the past few weeks so trying to put that into words hasn't been easy. But I'll be back on track soon enough, love you guys! :) xxx

Olinseloss - FYF - Home Gym

My shout out! Little bit nerding out <3

Olinseloss - WEEK TWO & THREE - FYF

OLINSELOSS - WEEK TWO - FYF

OLINSELOSS - WEEK THREE - FYF

Howdy guys and gals! Just getting up to date with the video blogs, I'm way behind! These are my video responses to a Vlogger who's doing weight loss videos and the internet community come together and try and lose weight. 

I'm doing well with my diet I only cheated Saturday night which was having a few drinks with friends so I think I can be let off on that one. Other then that I haven't really ate over my calorie in take in the past three weeks, I'm shocked I'm not craving for chocolate and junk food a lot more. I'm not to sure on what my weight will be next Friday, but I'm just hoping I haven't gained. I haven't exercised this week due to the weather and my counts dropping so I'm taking it easy this week and will see what happens on Friday.

Getting healthy this 2012!

THE TENACIOUS KATIE - LEARNING TO SKATE - DAY ONE

Hey geezers! Just realised I've been slacking on the video blog updates on here and need to update! So this video is of my first attempt at learning to skate, I've never skated before as you can probley tell by this video. It's always been something I've wanted to be good at so I invested in some skates and thought why not? 

I've had a few more attempts since this video and I can honestly say, I haven't got any better. I'll keep you guys updated with my progress and I'll make some more videos. A friend of mine has also invested in some skates which I hope means she can teach me or at least give me some advice or tips. Hope you guys enjoy the video, as yes I am really that bad at skating.

Oh.. kids don't try this at home, do it in a busy road.. I JOKE I JOKE!

ONLY ELEVEN MONTHS TO GO.

So January, what happened? You didn't quite provide me with the epic month I was raving about. I was going for epic positivity to make this year a great one and ever since then its been going down hill slowly! It just seems that January hasn't been the kindest of months and maybe we should just bypass the rest of the year and go straight to 2013. Though saying this, I'm not willing to give up on you just yet 2012! Whats happened around me the last 31 days just encourages me to live life to the full and make everyday an awesome experience!

HIGHLIGHTS OF JANUARY.

- Dancing in till 3am in the pub to old disco tunes. [SOBER]

- Creating some great videos on YouTube.

- Changing my bad habits and getting healthy

- Meeting up with Lewis and catching up and chatting about old times!

- Alan coming over and giving me Alan.

- Ellen MacArthur Trust Re-tweeting my video. [PROUD]

- Going on some awesome bike rides.

- Bingo with Nan and winning £20!

- Bowling with the guys from work and not being last. >.<

- 2 seconds of SNOW!

- Losing over 8 pounds.

- Investing in a pair of Aggressive skates. [NOOB]

- Seeing Wicked [IT WAS WICKED!]

- GETTING MY GOPRO! GETTING MY GOPRO! GETTING MY GOPRO!

Hey February! You better not try any funny business I had enough of your mate JAN! The bitch..

So what does February have in store for Katie Seedwell? Well my little munchkins I might just tell you. It's all starting with a bang! Zaz is coming on Friday to spend the weekend which will be a right little giggle and some much needed best mate time. I've also been asked to interview some people for a Team Leader position for Clic Sargent. I'm pretty nervous as I have no clue what I'm doing but I will give it 110%. Also I have "Find Your Sense Of Tumour" which I have mentioned in the past but its a Trip/Conference thing for people with Cancer. I also have a little project with the Ellen MacArthur trust and editing some of their 18-24 summer footage for them into a video. I'm going to blog/video blog these things nearer the time and give you guys some more detail, wether you like it or not.

So I'm excited for February and its going to be a blast! I'm staying positive that 2012 is still going to be awesome! I hope you guys have had an awesome start to the year and that the next eleven months are just as awesome! 

Keep smiling peoples!

The Versatile Blogger Award

The Versatile Blogger Award goes to.. THE TENACIOUS KATIE.. Well not really but maybe?

So I'll get straight to the point I was checking my emails and I was informed that I have a new comment on my most recent post. A blogger has nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award, which I think is pretty awesome. I'm guessing its more of an personal award not a Official thing, I'm not really sure. So I thought I would check out his blog and I have to say he seems to be pretty good at this whole blogging thing and is an aspiring writer. If your into the whole bloggy world and have an interest in writing and all that shenanigans I would recommend his blog. 

http://ponderingprocrastinator.wordpress.com/ 

I'm pretty shocked that someone of his standard in writing recommended me, because lets face it we know I'm rubbish at spelling, grammar and punctation. Only all the things that you need to have to be a good blogger! But we all know I'm very Versatile. HA! Also to prove that I'm not making it up heres the link to the nominees including moi! So I gotta say I'm feeling pretty chuffed, even if its only one dude that thinks so! 

http://ponderingprocrastinator.wordpress.com/the-versatile-blogger-award/my-fifteen-nominees-are/

Anyway's I'm off to go kill people.

>.<

ANOTHER EPIC BIKE VIDEO!

Hell, hello, hello! Yet again another video, a bike one to be exact! I gotta say though I had a blast biking to the Lammas Park, I feel awesome when I get back from a successful bike ride. I'm not sure what an unsuccessful bike ride is? Maybe losing a leg or something? Anyway's I thought I'd show you my travels! 

I'll keep it short and sweet!

PEACE OUT!

SETTING THE GOAL

Hello! Just a quickie, I made this video last week but haven't posted it yet. This video is to just let you know what challenge I've given myself, which is to complete this BMX track. My muscles are still weak and my fitness levels aren't great, so for me this is a big challenge. I'm slowly building myself up and my confidence to take it on!

I'm going to be doing a lot of these little challenges just to make losing weight and becoming stronger a lot more fun. Also I want to set myself some personal goals to keep me busy and have something to aim for. Gotta make sure I keep ticking off the "Bucket List". So stay tuned folks! 

Hope you enjoy the videos!

Olinseloss - WEEK ONE - FYF

Hey peoples! Now I've started a diet which I'm doing really well with, well I think so anyway. I've lost over 7 pounds since starting on the 3rd of January. So I thought that to keep up this progress I'd team up with the Youtube community and start Video blogging the stages in my diet and use the online community to help me when I hit the wall or I am struggling to put the candy bars down! 

If you want to check out the Olinseloss Channel click this link

http://www.youtube.com/user/olinseloss

This week has been the hardest since starting my diet, I'm currently on steroids which hasn't made easy as it makes me extremely hungry but saying that I'm doing well and controlling myself and I gotta say I'm feeling extremely good already. Also the steroids effect my fatigue and I've had to miss a few workouts the last couple of days but I'm gonna work extra hard next week.

My weight is currently at 176.5 and it was originally around 183-185 at the beginning of January my goal is to get back to 147 pounds! I'm in no rush but a nice body for the summer would be awesome!

Anyway's I'll be updating in a short while, I made a short video explaining what my first goal of the year is and I what I want to achieve!

MOONSPRAY

Hello my little hooligans! Just another video I've uploaded to the world of Youtube, I hope you enjoy! Its just a slide show of pictures that were took while away sailing in September with The Ellen MacArthur Trust. I would of had some amazing footage but because I decided to go for a little swim, my camera is now sleeping with the fishes.

 I had the most amazing trip and can't thank the trust enough for the amazing experiences and memories they gave me! Also like to thank my amazing crew and others on the trip for just being awesome. 

I also put a few chords on guitar and edited it a little with garageband in the background for the video instead of the normal free music you get from imovie to change it up a bit. 

So I hope your all having an awesome week!

Love you billions!

PS. If your in any of the pictures and don't want them in my video just let me know and I will do my best to edit them out.

:)

Well.. Thats if I survive.

Howdy boy's and girl's! So 2012 has certainly had a few surprises and I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but I'm staying positive and I'm still going to kick butt.

I went to the Marsden today and I'm back on my treatment which is good, but also back on the steroids. I'm hoping that it doesn't effect me to much, diet wise. I've been trying really hard to eat better and I've actually stuck to it. Only thing is I've got in a slump and stuck at only losing 6 pounds, I've hit a wall as they would say. So I've invested in new tires for my bike and going to get out a bit more, weather permitting. I'm just hoping the chemo doesn't drag me down so that I can keep doing my excercise's.

The funny thing is, when I was a kid I was never really into sports and only really practiced them when it was P.E. I mean I always attended and gave it my best shot, except cross country that was just a bitch! But I was mostly in goal for most things, I was a bit tubby and not very fit at all. So I find it really strange that I'm enjoying working out, I hate missing one. I mean its only 20-30 minutes at the moment but I can already feel the benefits after two weeks. Not only do I enjoy it I feel great after woulds, start of that sentence sounds a bit to like a commercial but its true. Something I thought I would never say in my life.

Now with getting healthy and pushing myself to experience new things I've set myself a personal goal to be able to complete the bike track behind where I live. Now its not majorly scary or high or anything, but I've never really done anything like that before but I'm gonna have a go! I will film it so any fails will be recorded and viewable for your own enjoyment, well.. thats if I survive. I'm going to do a video for this but I have to make sure I can ride a bike before I take the test, so it might be a little while yet.

Anyways, I'm off peeps. PEACE!

I dont want to go to sleep..

I'm Just laying in bed and I'm very tired.. But I don't want to go to sleep. What is that all about? Very strange indeed.

Talking of strange I noticed something weird today about myself, I know there's a long list but shh! So I went and got my mum a news paper and I saw a magazine I like.. now it's over priced and I'm not to fussed about getting it in till I realised it came with stickers! I'm 24 years of age and the reason I bought the magazine is because it had stickers on? Is this normal? I mean it must be linked to some childhood thing.. But come on I should be able to resist buying a mag just because it has stickers on.. To help my defence it did come with a poster..

Does anyone impulse like I do? Maybe I'll go get help.. Anyways enough rambling!

Night people's! Muchos love to all my readers! All two of you :) x x

Blitzed

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011!

Hello my fellow humanoids this is a cheeky little video of my Christmas (on the

 Thursday after the big day) with the boys, we had an awesome time and really enjoyed watching them open their pressies! We got up to all sorts like Wii, hide and seek, connect 4 but I most enjoyed playing with the Nerf guns. I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoy this video! 

So I just wanted to update you with my 2012 goals.

 Goal 1 - I've started being more active and exercising around 20-30 minutes most days. I know it doesn't sound a lot but for me its better then what I was doing, which to be honest was not a lot. So I've been on this diet for about 4 days now and lost 4 pounds, which is a great start, I've just go to keep it up.

Goal 2 - I also invested in some new editing software for my videos which lets me add effects and all sorts so I'm teaching myself how to use that at the moment. So in the near future I should be making some really cool videos. I've got a few ideas in the pipeline and so I'm going to start them very soon.

Goal 3 - I know this isn't achievable just yet to go travelling but I went and got myself a giant poster of the world and put it up in my room so that I'm reminded everyday that I'm gonna get to the places I want to visit some day!

 I feel really motivated this year and I'm focused that 2012 is going to be my year, I'm gonna work hard at getting fit and healthy. Also blitzed my room and had a major clear out and had a good change round and its made me feel a lot better. So for me this is a great start to the year and I can't wait for what else its got to bring!

Take care and keep smiling!

:)

What is 2012 gonna do for you?

Hello peoples! Hope you had an amazing New Years! I had an awesome night at The Tavern with Sarah, my Bro and his cronies. There was a great atmosphere and laughs all round, couldn't ask for more and I got very merry, which I have been struggling to do for a very long time! It turns out one sip of champagne will do it.

 So obviously its now 2012 and today has been pretty chilled out, so I've got to thinking, what is 2012 going to do for me?

I personally hope that in 2012, I stay healthy and I make better progress with my health. I want to travel more and in rich my life with more experiences and not wait for them to happen to me but go make them happen. I'm going to tick off a lot more things on my bucket list. I'm going to try and create amazing videos and really get my creative side out there. I'm gonna get myself back to work and get back my confidence. In all I'm gonna kick butt in 2012!

I WANT TO BE THIS SKINNY AGAIN!

I have a few goals in my mind that I want to achieve this year, one goal being lose 2-3 stone. I'm now 13 stone and rising, its becoming more of an issue just with clothes and just the way I feel about myself. I refuse to buy new ones as I'm adamant I'm going to lose the weight soon. I have been saying this for the last 6 months but now I'm setting the goal and telling everyone that on the 3rd of Jan I start a diet and I'm going to get myself fit. I don't have a target time but I hope I can get a Bangin' Body by the summer.

My second goal is take my videos to the next step, Its a real passion of mine and just LOVE making videos and being creative in every sense. I've got so many ideas but never really get round to making them but I'm going to make it happen this year and I've going to invest my time and work hard at making some great videos not only for me to enjoy but hopefully other people.

I didn't wanna make a mega long list that I could never complete but I think these are a good start to the goals I'm going to have this year. I have a 3rd in mind which is travelling but with my immune system being Zero pretty much most of the time I think that's going to have to wait in till next year but this just means I've got the whole of this year to plan my adventures. I might make a few journeys around the UK or Europe to cure the itch but in till then I'll just keep day dreaming.

So whats 2012 got in store for you guys?

Merry Three Days Later..

MERRY THREE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS!

The Thyme at the Tavern

Cinderella Pantomime

PART ONE

PART TWO

Hello boys and girls, sorry it's a little late but Merry Christmas! Well while I'm here I might as well wish you a Happy New Year! I had a good one thanks for asking, very low key but I was grateful for anything as I nearly ended up spending my Christmas in the Royal Marsden. As lovely as the Marsden is I wasn't exactly to excited to spend my Christmas there, I love my mums food to much. 

The Tuesday before the big day I felt run down and full of cold, I woke up from a nap an order from my mum. I checked my temp and it was 39. So I spent the build up to Christmas in the pen, I mean the Marsden. Luckily I could have my PS3 so time went pretty quick, actually it was just like being at home just occasionally I get plugged into a machine. They bust me out on the Friday, the day before Christmas eve, so it was a very close shave. I would of just crossed it off an experience I've never had before and made the most of it but I was worried that the Marsden didn't have any chimneys for Santa to visit. 

Anyway the real reason I dragged you here is to tell you about the two videos above. My brother Darren/Dandini was in a Pantomime and I've filmed and edited it together. It was real good laugh and very cheeky, the cast were brilliant and everyone keeps asking when the next one is, so go have a look see. It was held at the Tavern in Chertsey and Majority of the proceeds went to the Children's ward in St Peters. They done a brilliant job and everyone really came together to make the show a big success!

Gotta say I'm really looking forward to the new year, lets hope it kicks arse!

Hope you all have a great new years and don't party to hard!

Take care and keep smiling!

Drunken guy sleeps in sushi!

Hey ladies and gents! Gotta say it's an experience blogging while on the train home, opposite me is a rather intoxicated guy who seems to be falling asleep into his sushi. It's a rather amusing sight and gotta say it's entertaining me on my journey home. Gotta love Friday nights on southwest trains!

The topic of this blog is not really about a drunk guy though it might make for an interesting topic.

I'm just on my way home from the Clic Sargent Christmas celebration and I have to say it was such a great event and such a pleasure to attend. I was lucky enough to be given tickets from my Clic Sargent, Sarah. We got a box on the second tier and the view was great.

They had a load of acts which I hadn't really heard of but they all were very good. I have two favourite bits, Randolph Matthews beat boxing and looping his voice and Connie Talbot singing with 1,300 children choir such a great talent. It's so amazing that Connie can sing like that at the age of eleven and to all them kids, well done!

I had a blast! Though I nearly lost my rail card, silly old me! Luckily for me someone put it in the lost and found! Shh! Don't tell my mum she give me griff and won't let me forget it!

I hope Clic made a large amount of money, such a worthy cause. I've gotta say that money is still coming in from pink & quirky! Which is awesome! Let's hope we smash Dave's target! I may have some amazing news about it but not 100% yet. So I'll let you all know when it happens!

Anyways guys I'm off this is my stop. Take care!

DONT THROW YOUR MUM OUT IN THE RAIN, KIDS!

Howdy! The title pretty much says it all, a little prank by my mother went horrible wrong. Well for her anyways! Yes thats my evil cackle in the back ground and before anyone complains about the way we treat our mother you spend a day with her and your be throwing her out into the rain to! 

I jest, she's lovely really and she wasn't hurt in the making of this video but we did beat her afterwards and put her back in her cage. 

MUHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

Present from the marsden.

Hello ladies and gents! Trying out my new blogger app on my phone and it's pretty snazzy. I apologise if it's not very easy to read or the words aren't what there suppose to be because predictive text on an iPhone is pretty interesting at the best of times.

I'm now getting on the ball with my blogging and also my YouTube, I've been lucky enough that my YouTube account has been upgraded and now if I want to I can make money with my videos. Which is exciting for me as I'd really love for it to get popular so that I could invest the money in better equipment and then making better videos, Well that's the dream anyway. Also if I could make a career out of it that would be amazing! I love making videos and silly skits and wether I get paid or not its a great passion of mine.

So to the point I had an awesome weekend, Saturday being my birthday! 24 years old! Now before getting sick I may of been upset the fact I'm getting further away from my teens but now I appreciate every year. I can't understand people who moan about getting older, just for the fact that I know a lot of people that didn't make it to 24. Appreciate every day I know I try to! Don't wait for the wake up call!

Anyways before I start ranting.. I'm sitting in the marsden waiting for my bloods to come back, trying to keep my mind off the lumber puncture that's waiting for me in a couple of hours. Just the best way to finish the weekend, not!

Anyways I'm off to go enjoy the marsden Christmas party! X x
