He's our Uberchick.<br> Number Five survived a traumatic assisted birth after his egg shell dried up and stuck to him. He looks pretty ugly right now but we hope he'll improve. </p> <p>They are just too cute. I think they are filling the void left in my life by lack of chocolate and lucozade...</p> <p>Maybe I could train them to follow me and lead them on Race for Life!</p> <p><em>I so need to get out more...</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/dawnbleakley">www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/dawnbleakley</a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://raceforlife.blog.co.uk/2008/03/13/ducklings-v-chicks-3872948/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:raceforlife.blog.co.uk,2008-03-12:/2008/03/12/bananas-are-the-new-chocolate-3866144/LizzyBelle2008-03-12T20:26:32+01:002008-03-12T20:26:32+01:00 <p>Well they are sweet anyway...</p> <p>Am doing pretty well with healthy eating so far. Haven't had any crisps, chocolate or lucozade which was my previous daily diet. Thought I might be struggling without a Norwich branch of Lucozade Anonymous.</p> <p>Haven't got very far with actual training due to Norwich weather which is currently ranging wild winds and lots of rain. I should be more deicated and braving the elements but I can't be brave without lucozade - not yet anyway!</p> <p>Biggest excitement today was hatching of eggs in incubator at school. We now have 2 ducklings, Donald and Daisy. They look cute but are rather uncoordinated. Word in staffroom was they may be special needs ducklings but we'll wait and see!</p> <p>Off to get healthy snack... bananas here I come... </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://raceforlife.blog.co.uk/2008/03/12/bananas-are-the-new-chocolate-3866144/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:raceforlife.blog.co.uk,2008-03-10:/2008/03/10/signed-sealed-and-t-shirt-delivered-3851710/LizzyBelle2008-03-10T21:06:05+01:002008-03-12T20:27:41+01:00 <p>I've signed up for Race for Life in Norwich on the first Sunday in May.</p> <p>This sudden decision was inspired by my friend Jenny (who can generally convince me to do anything).</p> <p>It may well come as a shock to many of my friends as I'm really more the relaxing, reading, <em>sleeping</em> kind of person than a exercise fan... but I think it's an important cause so I'm dragging myself out of the armchair and going for it! <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p>My Race for Life number, T-shirt and cap have arived, so the training regime starts here!</p> <p>1 Get rid of junk food (check!)<br> 2 Stock up on healthy food (check!)<br> 3 Make up training rota (check!)</p> <p>Race for Life here I come!</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://raceforlife.blog.co.uk/2008/03/10/signed-sealed-and-t-shirt-delivered-3851710/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
