The sudden gathering
Hi all, this is my second post today because I just have so many things to report! Yesterday (Monday) was a public holiday here cos of deepavali, and my friends from university suddenly called for a lunch gathering! (Okay, it wasnt that last minute, I was told of it on Saturday.) Anyway, they are my very close bunch of friends from my internship in Shanghai. Through the 6 months in 2005, we ate, worked, studied, and stayed in the same apartment block. Those were one of the best periods of my life.
So, we didnt meet for like nearly a year (at least we didnt meet up altogether in such a big group). There were 12 of us, and wow, the catching up was so good. And to think, I was so pressurised before meeting them, changing sets after sets of clothes. I really dont understand why I needed to "impress" them. Its so weird. I mean, I know these people for so long... they've seen me sweaty and smelly after exercise last time, they've seen me in my pjs. I guess it must be the time.
Anyway, the meeting went great!!! Everyone complimented me saying I look prettier and more radiant!! Its so nice and different to be in the lime light! I'm so glad I decided to embark on this long journey of weightloss and thats not all, I'm so proud that I am doing it the right way, by exercising daily and eating right! I'm so happy with my choices of going to the beach every weekend to take in the sun, sea and sand! Next on my agenda will definately be rollarblading and cable skiing or wakeboarding. Yeah!!! I think the glow that they were commenting about must be my newfound sun-kiss tan.
Okay, I didnt lose that much weight, only 8.2lbs or 3kg... and we planned to meet up again for a Christmas party sometime 20th Dec. So, I think I've found my motivation! From today till Christmas, I think that will be about 8 more weeks? So a realistic goal will be 145lbs? Hahaha, there I go again, counting the eggs before its hatched. Alright, me logging off now. Cheers!
