I'm trying to get fit, healthy, sleep properly and feel like a human being again.But it's tough. I decided three weeks ago to get back in to an exercise regime. This is obviously coupled with trying to maintain a healthier diet.The Gym and activity I don't have a problem with, 4 days of gym a week and at least 1 day of another activity (mostly Golf) makes up my 5 days of training.I haven't stopped smoking yet. I'm working on that as we speak (by resisting the urge to go for a smoke right now).The most challenging part of getting fit and healthy again is definitely the food. I love food. I'm Greek and it's in our nature to be extreme. We love oil, sugars, fats, rich food, meats and anything that makes you feel like sleeping after eating it. This is a problem.So I am trying to cut our or cut down on oils, sugars, fats and carbs after 6pm.I'll see how things go.

Sick and tired of being sick...and tired

Just a short post to alert whoever it is that cares that I haven't been blogging very much because I have been KO with Bronchitis. I've been off work for 4 working days tomorrow but am off to the doctor yet again because I am not better.I am fast losing faith in the medical profession.

Striking, Violence and Idiots

12% is one helluva increase don't you think? I do. I understand that there needs to be an increase, I really do and the teachers, nurses and other public servants definitely need the recognition and the increase.Is it not possible however, to note that an increase of this size cannot be afforded by our government?At the end of the day the only people who are suffering are those who need care and those who need to be educated. Wake up and smell the injustice.

Foods I Hate

A short list of only two that I can recall right now, but here they are:

1. Liquorice
2. Olives

Any offshoot product from either of these two really make me want to throw up too. Ouzo, Chamomile tea, olive paste, olive bread etc etc etc, all yucky.

Any other pet food hates out there, let me know.

The Coke Side Of Life

I have just recieved and email about Coca-Cola. I am not saying that these little facts are 100% true, but the 'myths' exist and we've all heard a few of them down the line. Interesting either way.

• In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
• You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
• To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
• To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
• To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
• To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
• To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
• To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
