trading pounds for pixie dust. | 04/26/2009 |
I've not written a real entry for quite some time and truth be told it's because nothing has really been happening. I suppose it's the calm before the storm really! I have so much going on this month, it's crazy! I have concerts, events and getting my car MOT'd! I really don't have much time to relax - so thank goodness for the bank holidays and extra time off work! The next two months are action packed, look:
May
1st: P!nk concert at London's O2 Arena
9th: Car MOT in Boston
10th: Radio One's Big Weekend in Swindon
11th: Paolo Nutini gig at local University
23rd: Girls Aloud concert at London's O2 Arena
June
6th: Haircut and visit parents
11th: Britney Spears concert at London's O2 Arena
13th: BIRTHDAY!
21st: Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone
28th: Alton Towers with girls from New Look
The summer is going to pass by so quickly with all these events! My holiday in September is going to creep up on me so fast and I fear that I won't be prepared for it. I was in the city this morning just browsing around the shops and I had my holiday in mind when I was looking at all the summer clothes. I saw so much that I wanted to buy for my holiday but I'm just not sure when it' the right time to start buying stuff because I plan on going to the gym a hell of a lot of the next few months. I really want to leave me holiday shopping until July but I know that there are sometimes sales in the shops in June and I don't want to miss out on the good stuff before it's gone! lol. To be fair, I don't think I really have any time to go holiday shopping until July with all that stuff going on! lol.
If I'm honest I have a problem with the kind of clothes to buy to wear around the parks. The obvious is shorts and vest when it's boiling hot, and that sounds okay in theory but I have one major worry. I'm not huge, I'm slowly slimming down and can say I'm now a size 14, but I have this fear of my thighs! I really do! I want to wear shorts and not have them ride up. I'd also like to wear a skirt maybe once or twice and not have my thighs rub together all day and hurt. I just don't want anything so stupid to ruin the whole experience, I'm just so afraid and I know I shouldn't be.
I've been doubting myself a lot lately and I was super emotional earlier on in the week, which I now know is because I was about to come on my period! lol. But yeah, I really felt that I wasn't capable of achieving any of my goals or targets on my own. I'm okay going to the gym alone, but it's easy to slack off and not push yourself. I told James I felt like I couldn't do it on my own and it sucks because there's no time when we can go to the gym together. James finishes work at 9pm on weekdays and we've come up with a plan, I'll go to the gym just before 9pm and warm up for ten minutes then he'll come over just as he's finished work and be my personal trainer for the evening and take me through a proper weights workout. So far we've done it once and my arms ached for about three days, but that's gotta be good, right? We're gonna go for it a bit more this week and go to the gym three times.
I'm a member of a Disney forum and I'm going to start, what they call, a Pre-Trip Report - it's basically a journal of your trip planning process, including your itinerary and all the things you'll take with you, etc. I'll probably end up posting loads of it here as well, or I might write the stuff here and copy it over there. I've been browsing the forums all afternoon, I'm definitely addicted to it.
The new job is going well. I still feel slightly strange being there. I don't think they're quite used to giving me jobs that they've always done themselves, but has only been three weeks. Apparently I get paid on Tuesday and I'm also expecting a bit of money from New Look on Thursday - I'm desperate to see how much I'm going to get! lol. |

I know how you feel about the skirt and shorts thing. I love them but my thighs rub together. I wonder if maybe there are some sort of pantyhose shorts out there? I don't really know about ladies undergarments lol but if you figure something out let me know =P 
It's definitely hard to motivate yourself sometimes but just really try, keep that holiday in mind to help you! I am the worst person for motivation lol, I'm lucky that my job is so active because it helps me keep fit (ish!) and I'm incredibly lazy on my day off!!
