The shapes of my life

Archive for April, 2009

Ok so… I’m still not following up the plan very well. I haven’t gone to the gym today either, having overslept again because after waking up at 3am I couldn’t back to sleep for a loooong time… and my cramps were killing me today, I even decided to take a pill (which I normally try [...]

Exactly one month ago, at this time, I was out for lunch with my mother who was kind of celebrating me giving up the job that I hated so much and that was reducing me to a physical and mental wreck.
It took me a while to relax, catch up with my health, re-organizing my thoughts [...]

The day had started well and all but everything went into the trash when I started baking the most delicious chocolate cake that has ever come out of an oven to bring to a dinner with some friends tonight… I feel like I could ROLL out of the room right [...]

Apr 17th, Friday : work, skip & skate

Posted by: alhrayth In: Uncategorized

OOOOOk, so I woke up with still an achy throat and kind of overslept again because after last night’s dinner I actually had trouble falling asleep and then slept quite badly.
So guess what? I didn’t go to the gym as planned. AARGH.
I started thinking to go in the afternoon, and I got started doing some [...]

Apr 16th, part 2 - delicious Mexican remorse

Posted by: alhrayth In: Uncategorized

Ok so.. .what can I say? Dinner was nice, we chatted a lot, decided some stuff for the site, I think it will be a fun side project, ‘ll be happy to start. BUT…. OMG I felt stuffed yesterday night! More or less like the image above sums up. And looking at my plate, I [...]

Wow, it seems the weather forecast was right and I woke up to find rain and more rain… ughhh!!!
But I was determined not to let this derail my plans:
1) because I want to keep things going
2) because writing here and on the forums gives me that feeling of accountability, so I don’t want to [...]

I am generally happy of how things went today, so far I had a good day! Dinner’s arriving and then I will just have to resist the snacking, but I have quite some stuff to look up on the computer about a website I might be redesigning, so hopefully that will keep me my mind [...]

Apr 14th, Tuesday - fighting the urge to skip

Posted by: alhrayth In: Uncategorized

Food-wise today was ok, but I really really really didn’t feel like going to the gym for my planned all-cardio workout… I was this close to spending the afternoon on the computer, but somehow I managed to listen to the voice in my head that was screaming “you barely started, you can’t give up already!” [...]

Apr 13th, Monday - let’s start!

Posted by: alhrayth In: Uncategorized

Ok, so waking up because of a mysterious noise at 5 am and then not being able to get back to sleep kind of derailed my good start… as I totally overslept and woke up when it was almost lunchtime! No point in having breakfast then, so I just hung around, did my nails and [...]

Okay, so the food part has not been going too well - yesterday we had the fish risotto, and dinner with chicken and battered veggies… today the pasta with mushrooms and panna, and the profiteroles!! and the potato chips…. I have no clue of what dinner will be, but frankly, I don’t care. I know [...]
