Another injury

Thursday, August 29, 2013
I've been so preoccupied talking about bigger things on my blog that my actual day to day stuff has been pushed aside a bit. But now, time for a bit of rambling again. Another injury, yay. Just because my ankles playing up in May wasn't enough to screw up my progress, now my knee has done itself in! It actually happened on Tuesday,...

My lifestyle

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
I started thinking about a possible interview situation last night. I've applied for a part time job at this big health food & supplement store and I just created a small scenario in my head - what could they ask me, how I would respond and so on. And it really got me thinking about my reasons behind applying for such a job....

WI 34: +0.5kg

Sunday, August 25, 2013
Argh. It's like taking two steps forward and one step back. I have a brilliant week and then the next I gain. I know I've stuck to my calories really well, I've exercised a lot all week and apart from the other half treating me to Domino's on Monday, I haven't even eaten anything sodium heavy that might tie water in (because I...

Still here!

Apologies for the long gap between posts. Real life has it's ways of interfering with things. :) I've really been able to find some kind of serenity by the sea in the middle of everything that's been going on. I've just automatically gone to the beach instead of somewhere else when I've gone for a walk. It's just so beautiful and quiet over...

Dog shaped alarm clocks

Monday, August 19, 2013
Our younger dogs just love charging up to the bed in the mornings. They're just so incredibly happy when you wake up (or well, when they decide you should wake up) and go absolutely insane. One of them will just run around the bed, lick your face like there's no tomorrow and if you try to hide under a blanket, she will start...

progress

WI 33: -1.5kg + progress check

Sunday, August 18, 2013
So happy! Only 500g away from the 10kg benchmark now!  Other than that it seems to have been a slow month progress wise, but then again any positive progress is good enough for me. :) I'm hoping that going to the gym is the thing that's been speeding the weight loss, because that'll surely motivate me to go and work out every single...

Defying the elements!

Saturday, August 17, 2013
It's been a good day today! Got up relatively early and headed out pretty much first thing this morning. We actually had an appointment with a mortgage advisor, just talking through our options and so on. :) The other half also decided to treat me to lunch after our appointment so we went to Subway. I really fell in love with their mango...

Another non-scale victory! ;)

I bought these shorts back in late April. I ordered them online so obviously had no idea if they'd fit me or not. And well, at the time they didn't. They'd go all the way up but I couldn't button them and the zip would stop about half way. However I didn't want to send them back because I really loved them and...

Want to buy inspiration - lots of it

Wednesday, August 14, 2013
A very uni filled day again. Been fighting with one of the tasks pretty much all day and I am finally getting somewhere! This task was about a person in either film, graphics of typography who has had a big influence on the medium. We were assigned to design a "hero page" for them and write a little something about the person. I've...

First week with my UP band

Monday, August 12, 2013
Right, one week of use behind me, time to have a better look at this thing. :) You probably remember me mentioning that it didn't work with my phone (and the app hadn't come out for tablets) and I had to use someone else's phone to sync the band with the app. Well, I found a way to "hack" the app on my...
