Recommitting

  • Just wanted to say I'm recommitting. I've been relaxed about counting calories and hitting the gym for the last 2 weeks. I need to get refocused because xmas is just around the corner and I want to feel fabulous.

    Goals for the week ahead:
    - write down everything I eat
    - gym 5-6 days
    - increase water intake
  • *whistles* 5-6 days a week, you're superwoman! Good for you!!!

    Where do you live in Ireland? I'm spending "crimbo" there this year with my boyfriend and his family.
  • I'm in Cork! It's a lovely city. Where will you be staying?
  • Ooo. Well, I'll be in Dublin, as my boy is a Dubliner...

    But I lived in Galway for four months a few summers ago, and my mates and I did some travelling around... and we definitely did the trip to Corcaigh a couple of times. You're absolutely right, Cork is lovely. We stayed at Sheila's hostel right nearish St. Patrick's Quay, I think...
    And actually, right after I came home to Canada, a handful of my Canadian/Irish friends moved from Galway to Cork!

    ...are you native of Cork? I love the accent.
    Shame Jonathan Rhys Meyers hides the Cork accent in all of his friggin' roles. 'Cept in Michael Collins. Only time I've actually heard him speak normally....
  • I'm Canadian actually. I moved over about 3.5 yrs ago. We have Irish roots but they date back about 5 generations ago. The Cork accent took some time to get used to haha

    Galways is amazing. My favorite party place is Galway.
  • Haha, oh, that's awesome! That might be me in a year... Irish boy's trying to convince me to move to Dublin next summer. We'll seeeeee....

    And... ahhh, partying in Galway. I don't care WHAT my bf says about Galway, I LOVE it, and I am dragging him there for a weekend when I'm there over Christmas. I wanna go to the club where we met each other, hehe. Ever been to Cuba?
  • I went to Ireland when I was a senior in high school and loved every minute of it!!! I want to go back soon. My relatives are from the Galway area, and I think there are still some relatives on my mother's side living out there. We started out in Shannon and did the tour all the way down and then back up to Dublin.

    I want to go back so badly!! haha
  • ya I've been to Cuba haha My brother used to work there. I love The Kings Head! Always a blast. Enjoy your trip over at xmas. I just booked my xmas flight home to Ontario tonight...yeah can't wait.
