No More Emo-Messenger

Quote of the moment:
"GABORA!" - the first thing I said (to Prill m8) after getting onto Messenger on my laptop for the first time in a year.

I think it was probably installing the newest one that made the difference. It didn't work still, but I was on it while playing Halo 2 in K3 and I thought I'd give it another go when I came back. The error message had changed from saying I was behind a firewall to telling me I couldn't connect from behind a firewall via proxy server. I didn't want to! So I went into tools, connections etc and disabled connecting via proxy server (by removing a tick in a box). Hey presto, it worked!

Circuits tonight wasn't quite so awesome. A new format means a break in the middle (good) but running from side to side in the hall, like doing a bleep test (bad). Especially when I still had a pulled something-near-my-bad-knee from not stretching properly on Sunday. Silly me. Anyway, I preferred running laps around the outside. The new version has twice as many exercises as running slots, up from one to one. I'm undecided about that. Less cardiovascular but more strength stuff... meh.

Anyway, I ended up sitting in my own little space at the end just doing situps, pressups, bunny hops etc for a minute and a half each instead of a minute, to balance out the running that I'd abandoned.

Good news: My BMI (as per my clothed and shod weight on Saturday) is 25.7... So I'm lingering on the border of being officially not fat. Hurrah!
