Hey everyone!
First of all, thank you all SO MUCH for all your kind comments about my interview. They've all seriously made me feel so much better about the whole thing. I've been having flash backs to the interview since it happened, sometimes I quite literally have to tell myself to shut up! I'm slowly but surely moving forward and pushing it out of my mind and waiting to see what happens. I've got in contact with Interac, another company that hires ALT's to work in Japan (although it's not as well paid as JET which is why I went there first), and they've looked at my application and are going to do a phone interview with me soon hopefully. I'll get to Japan one way or another! But thank you all again, I figured I would say a big collective thank you here instead of repeating it over and over in personals!
Also, another collective message for those who asked about my boyfriend drinking the night before I arrive, he understood completely and said he wouldn't go crazy. He said he knew that I was arriving the next day and knows how important it is. So that's all fine now too =).
I can't believe I'll be leaving in 8 days! It feels like yesterday it was something like 54 days. It's funny, because I have these really paranoid dreams that the boyfriend is going to see me and not be bothered about me, and today I got an email saying he had a similar dream! Our meeting is going to be SO STRANGE. It feels like I haven't seen him in years.
I failed at my exercise yesterday because of the stressful couple of days I had before. I just wanted to slob out! But today is a new day, and even though the blob is here, I will do Insanity! It's also fareezzzing here, so it will warm me up!
candice - TOM is here for me too! But dayum, I do not get it as bad as you seem to! I'm sorry it causes you so much pain, but it's nice to see you get motivated about getting up and about!
Don't get disheartened when you stall, you have to keep pushing forward! You can do it!
I love subs too, I used to have them all the time at Uni, which was bad because I got the BMT which is like the fattiest of them all haha. But now I've started making compromises, I get a 6" instead of the footlong and get water with it now instead of pop. Once in a while treat won't do me any harm!
Dulo - A holiday is a great source of motivation for weight loss, you can do it!
QB - Well he works at a sushi restaurant so they give out free drinks to all the staff during the shift in case they want them. It is very strange, I agree, but hey ho! I know, I'm so freakin' excited too. I'm actually at the stage now where I can't actually believe it's happening...so I don't actually feel anything at all! I'm so weird, haha.
Alexis - Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it
torito - I must admit, being apart of these chats does take some time, but it feels like a second family now so I enjoy it! But don't be nervous =). I'm sorry you're having a hard time in life right now. Just try and communicate with your friend, just ask her that you want to talk to her and just tell her what's going on. Just say you're having a really hard time and you're sorry if you seemed really down and negative but to understand it was really hard on you and you really could use the support. If that doesn't work then she wasn't really a good friend to begin with. Glad your Mum's out of hospital now!
LindsB - Ouch, that sounds painful! I hope the meds work too!
Kawaii - No, thank god I was not asked to do the demo lesson! Maybe I should be extra thankful!! WELL DONE ON EXERCISING!!! WOOHOO! 30DS is really hard when you first start out. I remember starting it and thinking "oh my goose I'm in so much pain" but now I'm rocking up Insanity so it's definitely a good place to build up some strength and fitness!!
CONGRATUMALATIONSSS ON REACHING THE 170s!!! Wow, you're just being super awesome lately aren't you? Haha, you should have taken a picture of your makeup experimentation!
Hey now, this is a chat thread, chat about anything you so desire, it's not all about weight loss in here, girl! Unfortunately, that cute stage is really just a stage...it does fade away. Hopefully it means that he's just becoming more secure and relaxed in your relationship, just make sure you tell him not to take you for granted and still show you he cares. I used to get all sorts of crazy cute stuff directed at me, it's gone now, and trust me I was cranky for a while too...but I started to appreciate the small things and the bigger picture - that we are together and that's something incredible =).
rainbow - Thank you, and you're absolutely right - nerves definitely got in the way!!
I'm glad your throat is feeling better, why wouldn't you take the antibiotics? Surely it would help? Just be sure to keep drinking water and try exercising as soon as you can to start seeing a weight change.
Oh dear...the chippy! My advice would be portion size, portion size, portion size. Try your best to pick the healthiest option! Would they really shun you for not having it though?
I looked in my diary and it said it's Waitangi day Monday, what's that??
