I'm a jock. An artsy geeky jock. *sigh* I never could find my proper social group =P An old college friend I haven't seen in AGES emailed me to ask me if I wanted to sign up for our city's badminton club for 70$ for september till May. We'd play 3 times a week plus we'd meet other people who love badminton and group sports!! This is absolutely perfect. The timing couldn't be better. =D Hey, who knows, I might meet a sexy single jock!!! *giggles* But first, I'll kick their butts at badminton!! lol!!
I love that sport...it's all about strategy, endurance and speed. It gets my andrenalin rushing. I've been thinking about joining a badminton club but I'm too chicken to do anything about it..UNTIL NOW!!! Hopefully this will get me into a group of friends =) Instead of a few friends who dont like eachother. lol Wish me luck!!
Last night......was......a rollercoaster. Up down up down down down up up up. *gets dizzy* Apparently the main reason he wants to split is because I'm not enough ...meaning : i dont challenge his brain enough. Which I find funny because I'm so use to talking about deep things..including psychology and philosophy..but around him, I get dumb and focus on him and can't really talk about that stuff. So i understand where he's coming from. But, whenever we do talk, one on one, we get into these real neat convos that I dont have with anyone else...he doesnt understand that he needs to approach me differently when he wants to connect with me. Men. Bahumbug =P
On the weightloss front, I had subway yesterday for supper and salad for lunch...and I did 40 mins of lower body strenght training with 10mins of ab work (ow..). Today I'm running outside alone hoping the clouds wont pee on my head during my lunchbreak and eating a sandwich for lunch....and considering stopping at the Sushi shop near my place for some lil goodies ;) unless i do that tomorrow...hmmmmmmmm...so many things to do, so little time!!!
ooooooook so wasn't it July 1st yesterday?! Geeze time flies by. My entire month of July has been full of storms.....of all types!!! Hopefully August will show me a lil more blue skies and sunny days =D
Yesterday I did C25k with my gym friend...2 min run 2 min walk...it was way easy for me because I can already do the 5K non-stop but it was nice to be outside and getting some exercise and quality talking time with my friend...but..Friday I'm running alone and aiming for 40 minutes non-stop. I don't care how many miles that is, I just wanna run for that amount of time without stopping and enjoy myself.
And guess what! I had sushi with friends from work (which is unusual..it's obvious one of the IT guys likes my student coworker..lol) . It was fun...I never had sushi before and I absolutely LOVE it!! Plus it's healthy. How cool is that????? There's 2 sushi places near my apartment and 1 near work..plus they sell some at the cafeteria....*jumps around* I'm really into vietnamese, japanese and thai food....I love the "clean" concept of it all...it's fresh and natural and It makes me feel good after I'm done eating it.
An old college friend asked me to play badminton with her 3 times a week starting in September...we use to have such a blast back in the day!!! I said I'd love to and waiting for her to tell me when and where ;) I'm gonna be a busy girl this Fall...with badminton and guitar lessons =D
Anyhoo, gotta check on you girls ------ Tonight is my one-on-one with the bf (or whatever he is now) to clarify where we're going with all of this (which my mom replied without hesitation : well, switzerland obviously if that's where you're going!) LOL I need to be strong and keep in mind what I want in a relationship and what I DONT want......wish me luck!
Thanks girls for your nice words...really means a lot to me. I can definitely say I miss having someone to come home to..do tons of activities with...be boring with..and sleep with all cuddled up in his arms, but.......I'll survive. I'll eventually get use to it. I just have these huge moments of weakness during the night when I have this urge to call him up to ask him to sleep next to me.
On a happier note, today I'm going for a jog outside with a friend from the gym. She's slower but I'll do it with her ...It's still gonna be good exercise, plus I get to spend some time with her. She's really awesome, wish I could know her more. We've talked about our lives and past relationships...a heck of a lot more stuff, too. I feel weird though, kinda scared she sees me as a kid since I'm 21 and she's 31...but..I dont see it being a problem when it comes to friendship =D
Tonight I'm going to a golf range and eating sushi with some friends from work and some guys from IT. lol. This is going to be interesting. I love meeting new people so hopefully I get to meet some really cool people =) Geeks are so fun. lol.
Tomorrow I'm suppose to have supper with Simon. To discuss our situation and how we can fix it. ..but honestly, if he doesn't know after 2 years, he'll never know. He's selfish in life..and...if he believes that going to uni in Zurich is more important than me or his family, than so be it. He didn'T seem to care that he wouldnt see his family much for 7 years. Although, he went on about his friends that havent been there for him when he needed them most. He doesnt understand me when I say that if i didnt have him or my family, my dreams wouldnt seem so amazing...that nothing has meaning without love. Bah. Love. Bahumbug =P
Just to make you girls laugh, one of my best friends' recent ex-bf thought she was dating me and he was jealous of me. omg. He told her this last night. lol.....sooo THAT'S why all of my friends's bfs never like me.....oooooooh it all seems clear now! LOL
The highlight of it all really did seem to come straight out of a movie..you know..when the girl comes in later in her apartment to find that he bf leaved her, his stuff gone...the drawers opened with his clothes all gone and of course, the voicemail saying that he's leaving me.
That girl was me Saturday night.
I'm still in shock from all of it...I never thought this would of happened to me. I think I slept 3 hours that night.....he came by on Sunday to get the rest of his stuff but didnt take it all..he'll need a second trip for that. We talked and he looks obviously confused. *sigh* My life is like a soap opera...i'm telling you!
Soooooo..he's now living with his parents and our travel plans for my vacation time has gone down the toilet...i mean..who cares..it's not like i have to wait 1 year to have some decent vacation time to travel...ERG! Hopefully next year will be better for me.
I'm still going to the gym and eating well....i even bought 98% clean groceries the other day...right now it's the only things that are keeping me together
Day 2 of forgetting my keys at home, but this time my breakfast and workout clothes is trapped in my locked cabinet. I feel bloated and fat. My stomac's been acting weird lately....I think i'll stay on a strict clean diet until all is better...soo...more salad, soup, fruit and veggie for me! Might even help me lose weight..cause...scale wont budge. WHY CANT I LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT!!! GRRRRRRRR. Deep down I know why. I truly need to exercise a lil more and watch what I eat ..wayyy more =/ I indulge too much. I make way too many exceptions.
So yesterday I went to happy hour and had an ameretto sour and burger with fries. NOT GOOD. Why could I not mouth the words : SALAD PLS. All the girls ordered salady stuff but me. lol Yup. No more excuses, I'm eating clean now.
Bf came home late....at like 10ish while i was in bed half naked with the door open..he opened the lights and looked everywhere for a pile of cds his friend lent him...and eventually his friend came inside (WHA?!) and it was sooooo embaressing. He passed my room and i managed a hello..he didnt look at me and looked embaressed too (i was under the covers) So there i was ..TRAPPED, under my bed covers, half naked with the door open and the lights on unable to get up and close the damn door. I somehow got myself a bathrobe and closed the door. Bf came to give me a kiss before leaving and i just said : WTF were you thinking?! *sigh* I mean..seriously..what was he thinking!!!!!! It was really mean and disrespectful.................men.
Wow, bf is bringing my keys at 8:30am. I'm impressed. I might be able to forgive last night's dumbness.
Yesterday I managed to do the strenght training I was talking about and I'm not even sore today!! See!! That first time is the hardest but after that it's a breeze..I felt amazing and pumped up after my workout =D I'm starting to love it more than cardio...buuuuuuuuut, today I need my 50 minutes of cardio so I'll go at it easy so I don't feel exhausted, considering I had a hard time sleeping last night due to indigestion cramps..*sigh* I have no idea why I had those, it's not like I ate like a pig or anything that fattening so I guess my body just desperately needed to purge itself from some trash =P but..man..I was up until 2am twisting in pain. NOT fun.
Today some of my collegues (students) invited me for this happy hour thing after work and I'm considering going. I'm not much of a social butterfly but I'll do my best...I'm even bugging one of my guy coworkers to come but i doubt he'll go. I hope he doesnt think im asking him out. OMG. lol. I hadnt even thought about that...although he's a hottie. *daydreams* OOPS *pops that bubble* OOK FOCUS GIRL. Actually, it would be best if he didnt come tonight =P
This morning I woke up early to take my shower..then cuddled bf for 30 minutes..dozed off a few times and when it was time for me to catch my bus, I BLOODY COULDNT FIND MY BUS PASS. I began to frantically search my entire apartment..including the stupidest and most unusual places ever...by then I had missed my bus...but still, I kept on looking. All of a sudden my half-asleep bf says : maybe its under the bed. I ignore him. WTF would my bus pass be there?! Makes no sense...so I keep looking...until I give up and look under the bed for the heck of it. There it was. Just waiting for me. Why in the world was it there? SO, I leave in a rush with my bus pass and manage to leave behind my keys. lol...NOT smart. I caught an unusual bus to work and actually got there in time, too..........I'm have a VERY weird day.
I'm not too sure what happends at happy hour...lots of drinking? I hope not...and what am I suppose to eat for supper if it lasts until 8pm?! Geeze louise.....I think I'll just go anyway for the heck of it.
I'm sorry for not commenting much yesterday, we had this power shortage at work from 8:40 till 10:20 (rules are we can leave after 2 hours...we ALMOST made it!!!) then our puters didnt work until 1pm..*sigh* That was SUCH a long boring day. Anyhoo, I had subway all day. lol Sooo..I had too much sodium but low cals thoughout the day with tons of veggies.
I managed to hit the sack at 10pm..chatting with bf for an hour and throwing him out at 11pm and sleeping like a baby for 7 and a half hours! I feel pretty energized today, funny what a lil more sleep can do to a person!!! We had a nice conversation and it's kind of funny that we somewhat understand eachother and our passions..I mean, he's no romeo but he's definitely a passionate soul. Ha, see, no wonder I picked him. rofl He may not buy me flowers but he brings me to eat ribs, go to museums, watch movies *giggles* Things are going well between us these days =D Plus we're planning our Toronto trip for the week of Aug 16 till the 23rd after our week at my parent's cottage. I ordered a lonely planet guide book and a map book of 50 walking tours of Toronto...i'm soo excited to get them in the mail!!!! Obviously the hotel will be the most expensive thing there but man I love hotels! I guess we could sleep over at his friend's place but I dunno..I wouldnt like it.
Today I'm running 5 minutes to warm up and doing 45 minutes of upper body strenght training and stretching for 5 mins after. My weight is stable but I'm getting sick of the 70s....I wanna be back in the 60s!!!!! Especially for my Doc appointment this August. lol. I weighed 200 last appointment...wait until she sees me now =P Of course I need to see my dietician ..she was so excited for me last year.
How was your weekend? Mine was alright...Friday night I..um..what did I do..OH! I got my eyebrows done at this new place and I absolutely love them! I even booked a facial appointment for this Friday with the same girl..hopefully she'll be good at that too. =D Since one of my bosses let us leave early, I got to checkout this art deco store that has been facinating me for 2 years. lol I'm an art nutter and absolutely love vases PLUS it was all 50% off *drool* After talking with the man about art and perception and proportions (it was soo fun! lol) I finally chose 2 that I REALLY loved. It took me almost an hour to choose but i'm really happy with them. I'll take a pic tonight and post it later on..it's blown glass mixed with metal =D
For supper I had a small portion of egg noodles with tons of asian frozen veggies tossed with terriyaki sauce with the rest of pork I had left....YUM! Then I pretty much relaxed until my bf came home and ended up sleeping at 2:30am and waking up at 7:30am to get ready for my friend's bachelorette day. Part1 : Breakfast, Part 2: Nordik Spa, Part 3: Spaguetti supper and games. It was my first bachelorette party and it was an absolute BORE. Of course I enjoyed the Spa but that was it...I hardly knew anyone there..plus they had guys be the judges of some weird dance contest..and i was the only one who refused to dance..lol..I hate doing embaressing stuff when they push me. Anyways, that was a bad eating day... =/ I escaped with the help of bf and we saw Get Smart with 2 of our friends..that movie is HILARIOUS! LOL Then we went for a drink and I slept like a rock at 1am till noon.
Man that felt good!! I then had oatmeal and we went out for supper at this new fancy grill restaurant so I can try out their ribs...which was totally worth it!! They were THE best ribs that I've ever had. The place is called Bâton rouge, meaning Red Stick in english...and..um..even if the name is dumb, it's a really cool place with tons of waiters waiting on you like they should (I swear, we had a new one every 2 minutes..lol)
I talk a lot dont I? hehe. Then I went to see Dark Knight with a friend and my bf..and had a few handfuls of popcorn, nibs and a blueberry/pineapple smoothy. DOH lol now that wasnt very good. This week is going to be less torture for my body im hoping. Here's my plan :
M: 30min run, 20 minutes bike
T: 5 min run, 50 minutes upper body strenght training
W: 30min run, 20 minute bike
Th: 5 min run, 50 min lower body strenght training
Friday: Run outside, exercise DVD or lots of walking
I can do this..no..I WILL do this! My body stopped hurting so now I can keep building muscles without feeling like I fell off a 5 story building. =D
Hey, girls, should I stretch before my strenght training or just after... or both??? Thx!! Have a good one xox
do you like my title? =P I had no clue what to put as a title..lol..but, my lil weekly treat was suppose to be homemade ice cream from the parisian chocolate place near my house on sundays but i guess I'll skip this week, since i already had ice cream yesterday (which wasnt even close to the yumminess of this other place..). I'm disappointed in myself...why couldnt i have waited? I was doing so well and then BAM : my coworker decides to retire a few months eariler, leaving us all in havoc AND above everything else, I had to miss a workout to have lunch with my work group which was dullsville.
When I got home, I washed my dishes and nibbled on some left over porc and immitation crab..then had ice cream. Not a whole lot, but still. The chicken sandwich i had for lunch was filling so i wasnt real hungry for diner..but..why didnt i just have a decent supper instead of ice cream?? Well, now that the kitchen is clean, I'll make more normal suppers, promise! AAAAND, i'll wash my dishes every single day --- i wont wait for bf to do it, he'll only leave them there to accumulate.
So today I'm going to the Ramada inn spa to get a gift certificat for either a facial, pedicure or manicure for that bachelorette thing. Unless I go shopping after work *evil grin* I could be a lil more creative but hell, I'd do anything for people to give me spa gift certificats like that!! hehe. I guess I still need to buy her a card anyway...but i might find one downstairs here. And if i dont get anything..um..i wont go. lol. This is getting expensive...the entire day Saturday will cost me over 100 dollars. But...it's a once in a lifetime thing so i should be there. Does it look cheap if i only get her a manicure or pediciure????
This noon I plan on elipticaling a lot. My arms are alright today thank god but my legs..lol...thats a different story!!!. I have trouble going *down* stairs, believe it or not. So I've decided that I'll be strenght training twice next week and three times the week after...I'll alternate to accomodate my being off every two Fridays but still run when i dont work. I'll also try to run or walk a lot on Sunday...I'll try real hard =P Buuuuuut...I might have a huge drunkfest tomorrow night at the bachelorette party with the girls.lol So I definitely need to watch what i eat that day and exercise tons on Sunday.
I woke up with pain in my legs from the lower-body strenght training session I had yesterday....but it's NOTHING compared to the pain in my arms and shoulder area. Even when I press on my chest it hurt like heck..but I do feel more mobile than yesterday, so I guess that's a plus!
Like my title says, I'm lazy. I need to kick myself in the butt and do some housework....man...I'd be such a sucky housewife! lol I suppose things would be different if I didn't have to work all day. AAAAnyway...my fresh spring rolls were yummy last night =D Although...I do need some practice getting them all rolled up properly because mine are all loose and it's hard taking a bite out of it without the entire thing falling apart in my hand.lol I'll learn..eventually!!
Bf's coming back late tomorrow night to be my teddybear for the night and I need to get a bachelorette present for my friend...the theme is sexy and romantic gifts or money and it's a beach party or something. lol I have a few tricks up my sleeve..I'm so romantic I make other people wanna barf =P haha..but..hum..yeah...I think it'll be fun shopping for that!
Today I have 30 minutes of jogging planned and 20 minutes of other cardio...but im not sure if i'll be able to run when I'm sore like this so I might opt for the eliptical instead..good ol eliptical, always there when I need it I also took 150 cals out of my normal diet to see what happens (lil 150cal cookie snack bag)..cause..scale was a lil up this morning. I'm ok with it though, I feel AMAZING and skinny so screw you scale.
Tonight left over pork is on the menu with a big ol salad and veggies...but this time, I'm washing the dishes BEFORE I eat. HA. Take that laziness!!!
Hope you girl have a S.H.I.T. mood today, because I do!!!! (that acronyme Angela made up still cracks me up)
