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. 


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!

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

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
