How I did it: I've been thinking about doing yoga for about a year now but it took me ages to get round to actually looking for a place to do it.I used to live in a town called Dorking, and was going to join the yoga class with a friend, but then plans changed, I went to university and moved to Portsmouth. When I got to Portsmouth I had a look online for yoga classes near where I lived and there were a few around but I still never got round to signing … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I taught myself to touch type 5 or so years ago because I thought it looked like a useful thing to be able to do. I practiced a lot because it turned out that I found it quite fun and wanted to get faster at it. After a while I stopped practising, by which time I usually had a speed of at least 100WPM. After this I still typed a lot as I spent a lot of time on MSN, on the internet or writing essays, and still do now. I found a typing spee… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was shopping in Guildford with two friends one weekend and someone approached us asking if we would be interested in taking a kickboxing self-defence class, and offered a free introductory lesson. My two friends weren't really too keen on the idea but I managed to persuade one of them to come with me. The next week we went to the intro lesson and it was really fun.

I really can’t decide what tattoo to get or where to get it! I want it somewhere which is easy to cover up for work and interviews and things, but somewhere which I show when I go out (at least most of the time anyway!). I’m thinking a cat of some kind, though probably a little abstracty or something, I really don’t know!
I think I’ll start this challenge on the 4th of January, then it’s while I’m in Portsmouth so I cook for myself and it’s before my birthday in case I wanna go out for a nice meal then! (I don’t class soup as nice!!)
I’m gonna document things on here – what soup I have, what I think of it, weight changes, etc etc!
