Surving the festive Season..

Well hello there everyone, it has been a while since my last confession. In fact it has been 2 weeks!! Oops, but hey who can blame me, IVE BEEN ON “HOLIDAY” well to start off this festive season has been the best yet. I ate as much as I wanted on Christmas and Boxing Day. I ate and drank until I couldn’t anymore on New Year’s.  It was brilliant.

I told myself that I could eat as much as I wanted on this days as long as I stuck to my diet the rest of the time. To be honest I wasn’t perfect. I still indulged in a few cheeky meals in-between. It’s hard not to when family come to visit or take you to a sushi restaurant.

I am pleased to announce that somehow, even though I wasn’t perfect I’ve still managed to drop a 1 KG this festive session. YAY for Dom (: (: (: (:

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 6.4 kgs

I must admit that I do have a secret weapon, I waitressed quiet abit over the last 2 weeks. Would means I was burning off quiet abit of calories. So I guess that made up for any over eating.

Since it is a new Years (which means some new year’s Resolutions)

So here are mine:

  1. Book flights to go backpacking in Thailand.
  2. Pass all 9 of my Varsity subjects
  3. Get down to my goal weight by David’s birthday (22nd July) and there after increase my lean muscle mass till I’m happy. Then focus on maintenance
  4. Keep on seeing Steve
  5. See my Best friend Monique – even though she is in New Zealand, where there is a will there is a way.
  6. Decided what I want to do with my life.
  7. Increase my dress collection from 37 – 50 dress (basically buy myself a new dress once a month.
  8. STOP BITING NAILS
  9. Turn my flat from a mess into a home.
  10. Spend more time outside.
  11. Give up on the binge.
  12. Live a little more while spending a lot less
  13. Make more time for family.
  14. Tell my mom I love her everyday

So next year when its 2013, I’m going to look back on this and be like wow! I did all that!!!

I’m hoping Anyway (:

The Friday dread

Ok so today is Friday… for most people that’s the best day ever, but for me Fridays normally mean working a double shift, it really is pretty sad actually. I don’t really earn enough from working as a receptionist, so I have had to get a second job. I work as a waitress on the weekends.

Blah

It’s not too bad actually but it does mean that I hardly ever get a chance to go out and have a good time. This in itself is actually a good thing, there is No temptation to overeat or spend money. So I normally work 1 shift a week, sometimes 2, so I do get one night off during the weekend usually. But still for that one night I’m normally too tired to do anything and the idea of lying on the couch is far more appealing the going to a bar.

So today is that day Friday, and it’s actually off to quiet a good start apart from something really weird happening this morning, as I woke up I had déjà vu. You that feeling like you are redoing something?? So I woke and I was like… ‘Didn’t I just wake up already??’

Strangest feeling ever… was actually pretty pissed off. But other than that I had a really positive gym session with Andre this morning at 6.30AM… that’s right I got up at 6.00am to go to gym. Training when well and I can feel myself improving and getting stronger.

But today is going to be a long long day, will most proberly only get to bed at 4.00am tomorrow morning. But hey ill get through it and since I’m going to be waitressing and need some next energy. So maybe I’ll have an extra meal. There is normally a staff meal where I work. Hopefully it’s healthy! Gosh damn I think I’ll need it.

Wish me luck (:

Problem with bargains…

So I totally went to go and look for the dress I promised myself, now the problem with working a full time job, u hardly ever have any time to shop! So I decided to go and have a quick sqizz around the factory shops during my lunch break. I searched for 30 minutes visiting about 4 factory shops in that time…

Gosh there was so much junk out there, really was quiet depressed. The last factory shop I found, in the deep dark corner of Salt River (it’s a place)… can’t even remember what it is called but it looked pretty lame from the outside. Ok… so I walked in and search around… And WOW… I found the most beautiful amazing dresses.

I got them for R220 each (30$) Quiet a bargain if you ask.  They are so pretty and sweet I simply can’t wait to wear them.

So I tired the dresses on and the problem is they don’t actually fit me… AAAGHHH… but you know what I decided to buy them anyway. They are about 0.5cm to small on my chest, so with a little hard work they should fit me in a few weeks, I’m sorry I just could say no, they are just so pretty and so totally to my style, and so perfect for the up and coming summer months.

So the cool thing is that this gives me another goal to work towards, so much for a rewarding myself now. Wait my mom did promise to buy me a dress or two for all my hard work. So I’m going to buy something my size then.

Definitely, I Promise… (:

Here are the some photos of the dress… hopefully next time I will be in them!!

Fantastic Mondays

So its Monday,  and Monday are never  fantastic but this morning I’m actually feeling pretty great apart from abit of back pain, Mondays have actually become quite exciting to me, it’s like a mile stone, the completion of a new week,  and tomorrow is weigh day, which is also pretty exciting, I hope I’ve done well this week .

So this weekend I wasn’t perfect on my diet, I had a few drinks (only tequila and whiskey) and I indulged a little in a few extras, but hey, you can’t be perfect all the time, it just means this week I’m going to work extra hard and try and make it to gym 5 times this week, instead of twice like last week.

Apart from the slight guilt of not doing the best on my diet I really am feeling pretty happy and positive about life at the moment.  I think it’s got something to do with feeling better about myself,

I’ve also had one of those big realizations about  fact that I am so lucky to have so much love in my life. I truly have the most amazing people in my life who have always loved me the way I am, not many people can say that. My mom has had to put up with ALOT from me and you know what she has never given up on me and has always had my best interests at heart, and I truly love her for that.

Gosh I’m in one of those lovey drovey the world is awesome moods..

Suppose there is nothing wrong with that (:

Lastly I want to thank Dean Strumpman for my amazing new Header! u are super special and fantastic… now all I need is a background…. (Hint) (Hint)

Halloween is on its way..

Halloween reminds me of only one thing only… my dearest friend Monique,

Halloween was always the perfect excuse for us to dress-up, go out and act a bit crazy, we used to plan for weeks. planing crazy outfits and crazy adventures but always seemed to end up wearing the simplest of things.. but we always had a blast (:

(from what i can remember)

These are some pics from the past  few halloween we spent together :

The police women and the sailor ( the green arm was from painting Monique’s then boyfriend green so he could be the incredible hulk )

The Cowgirl and the Zombie school girl. Monique was always a bit more creative than me 

Sadly last year Monique left me..

She immigrated overseas, much like most of us South Africans she went there with a dream of finding a happier safer live, and i respect her for it,

I know what it’s like to take a chance.

I still hate her abit for leaving me but i know in my heart we will see each other soon (:

Its strange though, last year Halloween was an increably sad sad day for me,icried, i sulked i hated the world, What made it even worse was for work they asked me to dress-up… MORE MEMORIES,

so i cried again, i not only cried but i wept…at  the super-market..holding a witch hat, it always seems when you have no idea what to dress up as a Witch comes to mind, black hat black dress.. simple.

Little did i know that my dearest Monique had done the exact same thing, just shows you the bond of friendships are stronger then we think.

Monique and her mommy 

Definitly not the best of the witches.. but at least i have a witches mole, i did have a hat.

This year for Halloween, i will be attending my nieces birthday party (Trick or treat Tinkerbell). So i guess I’m going to have to dress up.. and this year i plan to make a effort in honour of my bestie.

Love you my friend <3 <3
