Lovin' it

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! So soon you say? YES! cos I'm awesome like that, and also I'm home alone cos my beloved hunk o' spunk ( further vomit inducing adjectives inserted here) is out with a friend for the evening so you guys get to enjoy another entry from me!

I have been back into my gym regime and I must admit it is great to be back into it! I forgot how awesome of a feeling it is after finishing up a grueling cardio session at the gym. I have more energy overall and my mood has lifted! Not that I was unhappy or depressed before but I was just content. I get that way sometimes where I look at myself and think what's all the fuss over this 'bikini body' thing for summer... Then I go shopping....oh man. I love clothes shopping but when I see something that looks really nice on the hanger and I go to try it on... I swear clothing store mirrors and their bright lights are THE MOST unflattering lighting EVER! I see every bulge and bump and I rip those clothes back off so fast and neatly place them back on the hangers (retail habits fo' life) have a little cry (in my mind) cos it didn't look as great as I thought it would. I have a large range of comfy clothes in my drawers but I want to be able to extend that to more than that. Coming full circle this is yet another reason I want to lose more weight!  I'm pretty sure I put a disclaimer in my first ever blog that I tend to go off on tangents, it was just lucky this one came full circle :D I are teh smarts...I like to think anyways. ;-)

Anyways, looks like this entry will be a short one. 
Hope you enjoyed another round of my ramblings, and you are all having an amazing evening!
I'm off to torment my kitten.

Recommitting!

Hey guys!
Long time no see huh? I have to admit I have had a bad eating and no gym relapse but this is set to end because Summer is fast approaching now and it's nearly spring ARGH! I'm running out of time! So I'm writing this blog to redeclare my commitment to slimming down. My archilles heel to this seems to be essay writing as whenever I have an essay I have got it in my head that writing with a bag of lollies to comfort eat makes me write more effectively. I've downloaded an app on my phone called foodswitch. I've yet to try it as I have been avoiding the supermarket but it's an app where you scan the food you would eat normally in the supermarket and it can if needed provide you with a healthy alternative. I'm kinda excited to try it out for the first time but I shall keep you posted on how that turns out.

I have been rather lazy when it has come to eating. I blame that on being so tired from a combination of work and study (well that's my excuse for the past few weeks). If it's something I have to spend time on I would generally opt for the easier route such as banging some chips in the oven, with some chops and completely neglect the vegetable side of things. I need to really stop making excuses though. If I want this health buzz to work I need to fully commit! I can do this! I'm hoping that this blog will help me get back on track and I will try make more regular entries to keep me on track. 

Well that wasted a bit of time before the gym opens.. Now it's time to eat my cereal and gear up for some pain and suffering (on my body). I don't know what I'll write about each time.. maybe whinge about how I don't wanna but I gotta and all that. 

Until next time..
You stay classy San Diego!
