My life is a candle and wick.
You can put it out, but you can't break it down
In the end, we are all waiting to be lit.

I'm going camping.
I plan to lose weight on this trip.
See you in a week's time.

You're probably getting sick of all these posts..

You're probably getting sick of all these posts..

I went running today! It felt so good and I'm quite chuffed with how far i got. I ran 4.8 kms in just over half an hour :)
Now I sit here drinking peppermint tea and thinking about life in general. I stood on my head this morning, just to get a different perspective of the world.

I'm thinking of changing my blog design to something a bit more cheery, but it will take some work, and a bunch of time. Maybe I'll do it one Sunday afternoon..

That's it for me!

Stay Strong, Live Life, and never forget how wonderful you are.

Yay for exercise!

I started exercising in my room last night.
Being away from ballet is driving me slightly insane.
I can see all the muscles wasting away, all my hard work fading away with it.

But exercising in my room was fun :)
I'm going jogging tonight, then having dinner, then doing more exercises i think :)
Maybe some yoga.. (I love yoga)
I'm sensing a new routine arising.

If anyone has any favourite exercises, please share!

I'm going down to breakfast now, at which i will stick to the meal I decided last night and nothing else.

I'm in a really good mood today :)

Stay Strong, Live Life and do some exercise!

Why is it that the things we want are always just out of reach?

I want someone who will always be there for me.

I have several of these people. But none are more than just friends.
I pretend like I don't really care, but the truth is that I hate being alone.
And this is the first time I've admitted it to myself, and to you.

When I return from overseas, the people from home won't know what hit them.
I will be a newer, better, and stronger person than the one they said goodbye to three months before.
And nothing, not even myself, is going to stand in the way of my image of -dare i say it, perfection.

I will be who I want to be. And I will look the way I want to look.
For myself, not for others.

This is it.
This is the one and only opportunity. And I will not screw it up.

This is it.

It seems like every promise I make to myself on this blog is broken within hours of writing it down.
This time, that will not be the case.

From now on, I refuse to make unrealistic promises to myself such as "I'm never going to eat junk food ever again. Ever." I'm only human, and like most other human beings, I am a chocolate fiend.
So now, I make one promise that I will keep.

I hereby make a promise to myself not to make unrealistic promises.

Tomorrow is also the day that I stop being fat, and begin on the road to thin.

My ideal plan goes something like this:

Breakfast: Two eggs
Lunch: Salad
Dinner: Salad.

Living in a boarding house is slightly frustrating, as I can't cook my own meals.
BUT. I really am determined to stick to this plan.
However if I don't, I'm not going to console myself with biscuit after biscuit. I shall drink my cup of peppermint tea (for those of you who haven't tried it, do, it's delicious) and think to myself "oh well, tomorrow's another day."

Stay Strong, Live Life, and never let go of your dreams.

Goals Re-Assesment

I don't really have any goals concerning my life right now, I'm just sort of wafting through life at the moment.
So I thought I'd write down a list of goals here and see what sense I make of them.

1. To take more walks in the park when I get back from overseas and appreciate nature more.
2. To remove stress from my life altogether
3. To go to yoga at 6am on monday mornings when I get back
4. To eat more fresh, unprocessed foods (they taste better anyway)
5. To stop eating for the sake of eating.
6. To eat more slowly and enjoy my food.
7. To lay off the junk food (not that I really eat it anyway) Only small amounts of chocolate from now on.
8. To become more efficient when it comes to homework/assignments etc.
9. To finish all schoolwork during the week in order to leave the weekends free to give me some time to relax.

Sounds like a pretty good list to me.

My new goal weight is 46kgs, and once I get down to it 46kgs (or lower) I want to stay there.

I miss my ballet. All my muscle is slowly fading away. I'll be glad to get back into it and whip my body back into shape.

I'm quite happy with my list. Goodbye for now.

TooBusyTooBusyTooBusy

Ahhh!
Schoolwork overload!

I promise I'll write a lovely LONG post this weekend, when I have time.

I had pancakes for breakfast this morning. I have decided that today will be my "Say goodbye to food day" I eat a little bit of everything I know I will want to eat by the bucketload when I'm, well, not eating. That way, I don't feel like it for a reeaallly long time. It's sort of an organised binge, if you will..

I really have to go now...

Stay Strong, Live Life, and have a little fun today.

Oh, I almost forgot, yesterday I went for a ran through a PINEAPPLE PLANTATION! It was so cool :)

I eat too much too much too much.

I'm sitting here thinking "I eat too much."
And I do.

BUT NOT FOR ANY LONGER.
I've had two eggs for breakfast. Some rice for lunch and some rice for dinner.
and three cups of peppermint tea.
AND THAT'S IT.

Let's see how I go...

Happy Belated New Year..

Hello! Oh my god it's been so long.
Time's just run away. Or maybe I've just been too tired to catch it.

But I'm back again now. I don't have long to write as I have classes in about ten minutes...

For those of you who are interested, I'm now OVERSEAS!
On an International Exchange. And even though I'm super tired, I have decided that today's the day. I have a little less than three months before I go back home. And I want people to notice a difference.

My plan this time is sort of just a go with the flow one. Because I'm staying in a boarding house, it makes it a little trickier to plan meals. So, i eat small portions of whatever is there, and don't eat on Sundays. Sounds good to me.

I have to go, I'm so sorry I ran away for so long, more on way later.

I love you all and have missed you all dearly.

Stay Strong, Live Life and drink lots of peppermint tea (seriously, it's yum!)
