This morning = Fail

11:30 (last night): Crash out on bed fully clothed AGAIN
1:30: Get into bed properly
7:30: Flying alarm goes off making god awful “clunk clunk clunk” sound cos I didn’t put the propeller on it properly
8:00: Rest of alarms on phone start to go off
8:45: Decide to actually get up
8:55: Make rash decision to do make up on the train to try and avoid being late
9:05: Can’t find oyster card
9:10: Still looking for oyster card
9:30: Finally found oyster card


9:31: Leave house
9:45: No seats on any of the trains – cant do make up on trains
10:00: Need breakfast, go into Starbucks – queue is a mile long
10:10: Finally get breakfast
10:15: Spill coffee all over sleeve in lift
10:20: Discover porridge is runny and horrible.
10:21: Realises still have no make up on. Wants to go back to bed and start the day over.

It did get better though. Had an email from the guy I messed up with yesterday saying it was all cool so that was a relief. He was really cool about it. *Phew*
 
Out for dinner tonight for Prabz birthday. Weekly exercise regime is suffering from having such a hectic social life. + All this bad food = not good. Need to get that back on track. Although I did come in the other night from consoling Nat and still did 2 sets of 15 sits ups and 2 sets of 20 a side sideway lift things.
 
AND my chocolate consumption is noticably reduced which is amazing.
 
Alaya threatened me with no dessert yesterday. My response?
 
I dont need more dessert - I need more exercise.
 
Aliens have indeed attempted to steal my brain (but apparently Codaniel has it safe so thats ok)
 
Hehe - Happy Friday everyone!

I did it!

Yesterday was a scary exciting day - I handed my notice in! Yep I did it! That means America is truly happening. (Well I knew it was anyway but even more so now!)

I was really nervous actually. Because I wasnt doing it off the back of anger (which is always a good thing) I actually felt kind of guilty. I believe my exact words were "Errm I'm kind of...handing in my notice...if thats ok?" Yeah like its gonna make a difference if its not! hehe

They were pretty cool about it. So now its just a case of making sure everythings done and in place before I leave. There's no way I'm leaving my collegues in the shit like other people have in the past when they've left.

It's quite scary knowing I have no idea what I'm going to do when I get back but flipping it on its head how refreshing is it to have the oppurtunity to do anything I choose when I get back if I wanted to?

Update on the fitness:
Went for a run on Monday lunchtime at work...got lost, I wasn't even going far! Goodness knows how I managed that...made it back though eventually!
Yesterday I was going to do some yoga and exercises and stuff on the Wii Fit but it was having a bit of a temper tantrum (probably from not being used for so long!) so instead I was skipping in the garden (as in with a rope...not just "la la ls" up and down like an 8 year old!) and then did sit ups and those sideway weight/waist toning exercise things that Matt showed me.


Oh and this was my dinner:

Yup bunny food! And you know what? I actually enjoyed it!

(By the way mushrooms in salad is pure genius! Thanks again Matt!)

Annnd! I've gone 4 days now without chocolate. (oh wait I had two choc chop cookies yesterday) but thats the whole point, I'm not denying it completly just not eating it unless I really crave it. I'm sure Becca will fix that when we crack into Candy Mountain though!

So yup thats me at the moment.

I'm feeling good!

Hellloooo Sunday!

Exercise with Matt and Alaya today was SOO much fun! Ok running still totally not my strong point but I think if I can keep up with this amount of energy I might even be able to do a 5K without too much difficulty! (I say this now...)

And the stomach muscles arnt complaining too much from sit ups and what not so woo hoo!

ANND I'm not even as tired as I should be. Especially considering it took me forever to fall asleep last night.

Wow I hope this level of energy keeps going. It feels SOOOO good to be healthy and energetic and happy!

Woah I can feel the energy and hyperness even seeping into this blog with the overuse of capital letters and exclamation marks. hehe

And if you think this is bad you should've seen my hyperself at Sylvia's birthday last night!



What can I say I'm in a good mood, I wanna share it with the world and hopefully bring at least a smile to your face with my crazyness.



Right off now to help Janny with her moodboard.



Keep smiling people!

Good morning!

Morning everyone! Welcome to Saturday! :-D


First of all have to tell you about the amazing-ness if FanFiction that is Clipped Wings and Inked Armour Thank you Obs! It is my new obsession. Although I have managed to resist the urge to give up sleep unlike with Wide Awake. However maybe thats because I've been going to bed really late this past few nights.


I have set myself a goal. I want to be in much better shape for when I go to America. I've been saying for far too long now "I need to do more exercise, eat less chocolate" etc. Now the prospect of being able to justify going shopping for new clothes before my trip is just all too tempting! So I went to bed last night deciding that today I woud either go for a run (dont laugh too hard - I know I dont really run and that would be an amusing sight) or a bike ride. (Much more my type of exercise!) And OF COURSE its raining. But I take that to be a sign of my determination, I WILL cycle in the rain dammit!

The plans for America are all formulating nicely. First draft of schedule is looking pretty good, should only need a few minor alterations and then its just a case of booking it! Can anyone else say "Excited?!"


Hehe, just saw a group on Facebook that says something like "Realising what I've just said and instantly regretting it" I think the worst way of doing that is with Freudian slips! (Wikied that shit for you) Although you can learn an awful lot about yourself that way....You can also severly embaress yourself unintentinally.



Right breakfast then exercise. Then out tonight for my friend Sylvia's birthday celebrations. Good day today!
