side-effects of re-location

New and fun things to discover when you move to different parts of the office:

We knew it was boiling and stuffy over there.

What we didn't know was that they had about twice the amount of overhead lights installed in this section.

I have over-large pupils (makes for great night vision). Bright artificial light and me do not mix well. So am already squinting and can feel headache coming on. OH. YAY. And Alicia next to me has a similar problem but not as bad...

I can foresee me having to wear sunglasses constantly.

Question for the exercise-minded amongst you:

At what stage should I expect to see some result from toning exercises?

(understand that these are your standard bums and tums - sit-ups, leg lifts, squats, no weights or whatever involved)

I started five days ago, with a view to a slightly better looking thigh and stomach area by about april. Exercise regime is 40-50 mins brisk walk (with occasional bursts of jogging due to lateness) + running up and down tube and train stairs, with added fidgeting. I don't see it changing anytime soon due to current life pattern and knackeredness. Diet - vaguely healthy, plus chocolate. Also not changing that.

Current actual shape is curvy (hourglass) 5'3 shortarse, UK size 12/US size 8, weighs approx 10 stone or 140 lbs.

So... opinions?
