Before After

Day 5

Day 5 was a weightloss day.  No Maltese bread, no butter, no alcohol, no dessert, no chocolate bars - all very goods on the food front.  Drank my water.  Did abs.  Did no stretching, I have to be more committed to that as I really do want to be more flexible. Walked for about 40 mins.  Very good day. 

Yesterday I bought my new walking slippers.  I would have like a better fit but it's so difficult with the insoles I have. The old pair still work fine, their only problem is that they look so old!!! So I have decided to keep my old pair for when I go walking in the fields like I usually do and my new pair for when I want to wear slippers but to go shopping or visiting someone. They are a cool pair I tell you, love the design. About an hour ago we had a tremor here, probably we felt an earthquake in the sea, or is that a seaquake?  It actually woke me up.  It wasn't horrifying and it happens once or twice a year.  It woke me up from a great dream I was having about going for a holiday to Australia with an ex colleague whom I have no idea how he got into the story. It was for just one week which I would never do as Australia is so far away, anything less than a month would not be feasible although I might do 3 weeks next year (2009). It's very difficult for me to get  a lot of leave at one go.  Did not go out yesterday, stayed put working on my assignment and I did make some very good progress on it but still have to finish it today. But I'm happy with the work I put in.

Yesterday, I did something I had not done for a while.  After joining here way back, I think , in February last year, I used to comment on the newcomer's blogs quite often, but lately I barely did mine, let alone newcomers.  Infact I was commenting back on those who commented on mine - in my defense, I was quite limited by time.  Yesterday, I did the newcomers tour - three of them commented back - when someone new comments on my blog I always feel like my life has been enriched by the possibility of a new friendship.  Because I do feel that with people like Angela and Tracy (whom I have never met other than online and will never probably meet) I have formed a friendship in here.  Something else I did was buy green tea because I read that it improves one's memory and has quite a lot of benefits if one drinks 2 glasses a day. 

That's all for today. I'm off for my walk soon. Have a good Sunday everyone.

Cool!

Sounds like you had a GREAT day!  That's awesome.  I'm so proud of you.  You have had some bad things thrown your way and all the pain you've had.  It's so refreshing to see you trying to overcome that.  Again, I'm proud of you.

And thanks for the comment about friendship.  I am very thankful to have a friend like you.

Thank You !

I'm so glad you decided to comment on newcomer's blogs again, the comment you left on mine totally made me feel welcome. It's always good to have as many people rooting for you as possible

Great day!

Congrats!  You had a wonderful day!

I have to ask:  what are walking slippers?

Enjoy your new week.

Thank you!

Thanks for the encouraging words you left on my page, I"m having a much better day today....

It sounds like you had a wonderful day with no regrets...keep up the good work!

They have walking

SLIPPERS??? Please tell me thats a fancy name for shoes! I love slippers--wouldn't it be cool if it were acceptable to actually exercise in them? LOL Here slippers are what we wear only around the house.

I'm glad you reached out to some newcomers and they reached back! I do that once in awhile, but I rarely hear back, so I know what you mean about feeling like you've made a new friend.

Ok, think I need to get me some of that green tea! My memory is slipping big time! ;)

Take care! Oh, and yea, you can come with us to Disneyland! Better bring your best walking slippers, though! I'm glad I did!

Awww

Yes I definitely consider you my friend, too.  I wish we lived closer! Can't we meet in Australia or something someday?!?!?!  Aaack.

I know what you mean about visiting new blogs.  I try to get in gear now and then.  Funny how we find ourselves in "cliques" even online!
