Me, me and my view on The Karate Kid (not seen yet!)

I don’t think you can see the weight loss – I still look bloated lol The top is not the most flattering and yep, it was a windy day.

The Karate Kid – K A R A T E appears to be about Kung Fu. Yep, Kung Fu – hmm, that’ll puzzle the Japanese no end haha! So, will I go see it? Perhaps if there is nothing else on. Otherwise, it can wait. I like Jackie Chan and Jordan Smith seems pretty cute but, well, it’s just not The Karate Kid. I think they really should have called it The Kung Fu Kid – I’d have seen it then :)

Toy Story 3 and Splice

I’ve not been so well but wanted to go out as was bored so went cinema with Polyhex.

Toy Story 3 was excellent as was to be expected. Yes, it is rather sad but also a happy ending. I didn’t cry!

Guess this is the last one :(

Splice – excellent film and obviously very different from Toy Story 3. One could question some of the science but I shall hold my tongue on that as it is, after all, only a movie. Was nice to see David Hewlett from Stargate Atlantis being different.

Weight Ticker 2010


Okay reset again – decided to start at zero again for the next stage.

I started off at 20 stones 6 lbs and am currently around 18 stones 3 lbs (probably more now but it will do).

Next target is 17 stones – yay!

17/06/10 – and she’s off hehe!
20/06/10 – yay below BMI 45!

Inception

Well it’s unusual, that’s for sure. It’s a bit slow. It’s okay. I wouldn’t not say brilliant, but it’s okay.

Vitamin D

Right I think it’s been about 6 months since I started taking 5,000 IU daily. I have to be honest in that I have not always remembered to take it but we’ve had a bit of sun so I have obtained some naturally, hopefully!

Have I noticed any differences? Well, yep!

1. My knee/shin

I injured my knee/shin about two years ago in a fall and it has been a nuisance ever since with some days being very painful. It doesn’t appear to click like it used to and whilst it sometimes aches, I can now kneel on it if careful not to just drop down. I have not tried exercise yet but will hopefully get to do some walking soon, weather permitting. Still want to do that Roman villa walk in Staffordshire!

2. Immune System

I have just had a cold. It may have started on Thursday as I had a right bad head and felt yuck which is sometimes how colds start with me. Since then on and off I’ve felt rough with sore throat, sneezing, bad head, sore eyes, etc. But I haven’t been floored like I usually am. In fact I’m getting better give or take some coughing at night. I haven’t even had a bad runny nose or watering eyes. I can honestly say I think the Vitamin D has had a dramatic effect on my immune system, in a good way – yay!

3. Other Things

I’m not sure. I can’t really say anything about mood as it is summer and I’ve had my ups and downs when I really miss dad. I shall comment on this during the mid-winter months.

Twilight New Moon and Eclipse

Since we have the Unlimited cards for Cineworld we decided to see Eclipse. Only thing was that we had not seen New Moon so Saturday morning we purchased it in HD from Virgin.

We didn’t see the original Twilight at the cinema because frankly I didn’t fancy it and I don’t think Polyhex was that keen either. But we saw it when it came on Sky and I have to admit I was quite impressed.

Anyway, New Moon – rather good me thought. It’s hard to say if it is as good as the first but to be honest it just continues on the story so all the Twilights are “samey”.

Eclipse moves somewhat slower but is still good. I have to admit that on reflection I have enjoyed the movies, especially the interaction between the characters, so much so that I have bought all the books.

Taken as a unique view of werewolves and vampires it all makes for a very good story.

And there is no denying that these are all chick flicks – but I think that is pretty obvious really. They are perhaps more romance than “horror” – but an intriguing romance all the same.

Spamalot

I so want to see it again.

We couldn’t really afford it but I’ve been dying to see this so was not going to miss out on an opportunity. Oh and I’m so glad we went – loved it loads. Lots of nice Monty Python references amongst other things and, well, general silliness hehe!

Frankie and Benny’s

That’s where ve’ve just got back from. Went for a meal with Carol and John. Had a good meal even if there wasn’t much in stock!

Ate far too much but it was nice :)

Spamalot

We are going to see this on Thursday – been wanting to see it ever since I heard about it and whilst we cannot really afford it, well, somethings are too good to miss. I’ll just have to work harder lol

Wild Target

Loved this film, so so loved this film. We had to go all the way to Bolton to see it as it was no longer on at Ashton or Didsbury, which was a bloody shame. A great British film deserving so much more.
