Change.

Don't expect different results when you're not willing to do things differently.

Competition is my favourite motivation.

The thought of competition is giving me huge motivation at the moment!

Busy.

Sorry I haven't been updating much recently. Been a busy week!
This is what I have had to look at:

 

In case you can't tell.. it's knitted fabric (magnified.. like 20 times I think?)

It's for my major project at uni. I had to select a benchmark garment, choose tests that were relevant to my topic, test accordingly then recreate experimental samples with slight differences, test them all and compare and conclude which fabric is best suited for the end use.

I've taken like 100 of these images of all my different samples, and then I have to use this stupid program which is PC only so I can't download it on my MAC, which is killing me.. anywhere it's very tedious and.. well.. yes that's what I've been doing.

My feet.

Feet. What a strange first entry right? Well, last week I saw a podiatrist, finally. The reason I went to a podiatrist is because I have really, really flat feet. It's always been an issue, but even more so now that I've been going to the gym a lot. Well, it's more when I do Zumba. Here's why:

So this is problem I have with my feet, they have excessive pronation (? about the wording of that). Which basically means when I walk my feet roll inwards causing pretty much my whole leg to twist and causing a lot of strain in my calves - which is where I feel the pain first. When I run I'm up on my toes a lot more and therefore my feet hit the ground in more of the normal foot position. When doing exercises such as Zumba or walking my whole foot comes in constant contact with the ground and therefore causes the pain and strain. My podiatrist taped my feet (really tightly, mind you) to hold them in a 'normal' foot position and told me to go to the gym and see how it felt. Woah, it was amazing! It made the world of difference to me and I had like half the pain I usually would. So anyway, I saw him again and reported back and the verdict being exactly what I had expected: I need to get orthodics. They're quite expensive and we don't have private health to cover podiatry, so I'm going to speak to my parents about costs etc. etc. I mean it's definitely worth it! I'll keep you updated :)
