Snippets - Planks, Bunheads and a Sick Gut

I haven't been around much lately. So if you've been checking in to see what's up in my corner of Asia, I'm sorry that there hasn't been an update in almost a week.

Aside from a hectic schedule, last Sunday I caught a bug in my gut. It was awful, I've been on soup and porridge all week, and tonight I finally let myself celebrate with fried chicken. I'm not sure if my tummy will reject it later, but I just HAD to have some junk food!

You can read all about intestinal infections here.

Meanwhile I'm finally caught up with all the episodes of 2 Broke Girls and am currently watching Bunheads. And just when I thought the world was safe from 50 Shades, up it pops in episode 6's storyline as the book club's book of the week. And because I'm twisted I just KNEW that's what they were talking about before anyone even mentioned the title.

In other news, the weather's been awful, and I haven't been walking -- I may as well remove the counter on the right! And being down for the count with this achy belly doesn't help. I *have* seen, tho', some of my fellow bloggers writing about the 50 Day (you've-got-to-be-kidding-me) Challenge involving jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups and doing the plank.

And that got me researching this plank thing cos I can't for the life of me stay in position for anything longer than 20 seconds. For those of you who find it way too challenging to get up to the "actual" plank position and hold it there for 2 minutes, have a look at this video. It tells you how to progress to the final position stage by stage as your body becomes stronger.

Oh, and the situation with the spank-friendly chemises finally got straightened out. I received a replacement last week. The same style as the first one, but in a different colour. Ah well... it's still pretty.
