Relaxing Times

During the Easter Break, I’ve made a conscious effort to cut back on my junk food and go for a jog around the neighbourhood and by the river. The compliments I’ve received since I’ve gotten back to uni have really been encouraging.

If you have known me for a while, you would know that I’ve always had weight issues. I used to be really thin when I was younger but I ballooned up due to inactivity and pure laziness. I suppose procrastination has a lot to do with it, I’ve always been the fat kid in school and couldn’t be that bothered with trying to get in with the thin crowd.

Going on the jogs during the holidays have really relaxed me a great deal. I have 1 hour of jogging and walking while listening to my ipod, which pretty much puts me in my own little world for this 1 hour. Nothing else matters but me and my music for that 1 hour.

I’ve learnt to like feeling the burning pain I get when I start jogging and walking. I’m beginning to like sweating and feeling tired after coming back and not wanting that 1 hour to end. My mind drifts away and I can forget about all my worries for that little while.

Time is something that I don’t have enough of each day, and I value each and every second of my time I get alone. I don’t see myself as an anti-social person but more like a person who likes to spend time by herself by nature. I tend to think the best when I’m in the shower and its just me and my thoughts and the warm relaxing shower. I sometimes wonder if I’m eccentric but I’ve learnt to accept myself as I am. I don’t need to change outwardly for any person but myself.

So the weight I’ve lost and my change in lifestyle is my decision and made because I’m sick and tired of seeing myself struggling and always not being able to look good in the clothes that I like. And so as to reward myself for all my effort during the Easter Break, I’ve decided to get myself a pair of skinny legs jeans I’ve always wanted a pair but I could never fit into them, so I’ll wait till the next sale and then get myself a pair

Was supposed to have lunch with Cheryl today, but poor thing woke up with a sore throat and had to go see the doctor. Instead I went off to see Zaneta who didn’t have to work today. It has been good catching up with you Zaneta All our adventures together at Subi, namely Howard’s Storage World where both of us go crazy with storage options. I tell you, they’re going to make a fortune out of us if we’re not careful and get sucked into the craze…Hehe…It’s good to have you back in Perth Zaneta! I love you! We should have a fun outing during the 1 month break we have from uni. I’m so looking forward to have a girly night and watch movies till dawn!
