Good afternoon. Another regular update. This is getting exciting. However, it’s not of cards. It will be of cards later when I create some. I actually had created 3 Valentine’s Day cards for other people… and I was going to put photos up of them… except I sent them without taking photos. Damn.
However, this update is about my eating healthy, moving body, resolutions that I made at the start of the year. I have been to the gym every day this week so far. EVERY DAY! I’m proud of myself. I even got up at 5:30am yesterday to go to a Zumba class. It was worth it. Dragging myself out of bed after only 6 hours sleep wasn’t fun, but the class was good, and I enjoyed it, so all in all, worth it. Therefore, yes I have been moving my body and yes it seems to be working. I’m at least sleeping better.
The food section is going mmmmm okish. I had pizza last night because I was looking after my cousins and my auntie said just to get that for dinner. I had 4 slices. I also had a small frozen coke earlier in the day. I’m still eating chocolate, and no I haven’t given up Coke. But that’s starting again today. I’ve made a pact with myself… every time I’m craving Coke, I should drink some water, green tea or a chocolate drink. Obviously the first two will be best, but if I drink those two and I’m still craving Coke, I’ll go in for the chocolate hit. I need to stop drinking it. It’s poison. I also discovered that no, no I can’t do the gradual weaning off soda thing…. It doesn’t work for me. I need to just stop completely and refuse it. So today I am stopping. That is it. Final time to stop.
But I am making healthier lunches and having a decent breakfast, so all is not lost. Dinner is still a tricky part for me because it’s easier for me to make a smaller meal for dinner, however most “dinner meals” are complicated and too hard to make. Still trying to work it out.
I know eventually I will get there. I’ve also decided to make Friday my weigh-in day. Friday is the last working day of the week, (for the general populace) and it’s before the weekend. Now if I weigh myself on a Friday, I’ll be less tempted to cave in and undo my good work on the weekend. Also, if I weigh myself at the end of the week, it gives me motivation at the beginning of the week to keep going. I can also reward myself more easily on a Friday if I have lost weight. So tomorrow will be the first weigh-in. I’m not expecting much. I’m wishing it’s heaps, but truthfully I know it’s not. I’m hoping for at least a slight drop. Even if it’s only 500gms. At least it’ll be a lost. Tomorrow’s reward if I have lost something… I’m going to buy a face mask. Or maybe a new kindle book.
I recently discovered…. No that’s a lie. I’ve known about these for a while. Kindles are the latest book technology. Have over 2000 books on the one device that you can carrying around with you. Courtesy of Amazon. Recently though, they’ve made software for other operating systems, so you don’t have to buy a Kindle. I happen to have an Android phone, so I downloaded the app for androids, and well. I’ve been buying books. Granted, 2 are for uni, but still. It’s just so much more convenient. Now I am an avid book lover. I have 91 books in my apartment, plus at least another 50 more at my parent’s house. Easily a lot of money in them. Personally, the best bit of the Kindle books is that they’re cheaper then the paperback books. $2 for one book, which is normally about $15 in store. Mightn’t seem like that’s a big thing to get excited over, but when you’re a student and you can buy your textbooks for so much less, it’s exciting. Also the portability of the books. They’re on my phone. Always with me where ever I go. Going to be much more of a convenience when I go to uni. I’ll only have to lug my phone with me instead of twenty million books. Now I got onto this because my mother was talking about getting me a Kindle for my 21st. I was resisting because I couldn’t get used to the idea of not being able to pick the book up and flip through it. So I decided to just go ahead and download the software to see what all the fuss is about. Now I’m quite convinced I want a Kindle, so when I see my mother tomorrow… I might just tell her it’ll be a very good idea.
That’s all for now. I’m going to go create some cards with my new stamps that M got for me. They’re so pretty. Results will be up tomorrow. Oh of both the cards and my weigh-in.
Have a good day :)
Butterflie kisses,
Rosa, xoxo.
