Currently listening to a butchered version of No Doubt’s ‘Don’t Speak.’

I’m not going out. It’s me and several different cheese based snacks all night long, baby.

The Dresden Dolls are playing and I guess I could pull some money together to go… I adore them and they’re one of my favourite live acts and apparently the show they just did in Christchurch was beyond amazing… But I kinda just want to curl up on the couch and snuggle under a blanket and snooze and watch tv and read and put kisses on Josh and pet the kitty and find something to snack on that isn’t going to ruin my calories (although I desperately want to chow down the entire bag of cheese balls that I’ve been avoiding making eye contact with for a month) and have a (diet) gin and tonic.

Derpin’ around at work, reading A Clash of Kings and wishing my hair wasn’t so floop-de-doopy.

Josh was at a friend’s house down the road, so I ran to meet him. Josh had been running with me, but has hurt his knee and isn’t allowed to run for three weeks, so I guess I’m doing this without him. He was so motivating, too. As an aside, I don’t like running by myself at night :(

Joshy and kitty sleepy snuggles. D’aww.

Oh man, I want these so bad. Unf.

JESS!!! I NEED THAT DRESS. Omg. <3

Make one! …and then make me another. Best dress ever - it’s so lovely!

Because my sissy was in London, she missed Lily’s birthday. So I did a really crappy job of putting her in the picture. I have such good looking siblings!

Decided to have it on salad instead. I don’t think I’ve ever made myself a salad before. I don’t even.

Thanks for all the lovely messages of support you guys! You’re all far too kind and babin’ and wonderful - I really appreciate your words of encouragement and lovely compliments :) I know this whole losing weight/toning up/getting fit/being healthy thing isn’t something that’s going to be instant - but I’ve never been good at waiting for things. 

I am only weighing myself once a week which kinda makes it harder when I don’t see any change, and I just did my measurements and I appear to be a casual 7 inches fatter ‘round the waist. I’m just hoping that it was a fuck up in recording my measurements the first time. Although it was done at the gym when I first went so I’m sure they did it right. I’m also freaking myself out that I could be pregnant. It’s either that or I’m just doing this whole thing all wrong. Part of me would love to go down my ol’ favourite route of not eating anything, because history would show that it yields results. I won’t, because I know it’s stupid. 

I’ll just keep on keeping on and hope that this down buzz doesn’t last too long!

I felt really sick when I was running, but struggled through. I really need this to work.

I also bought a 4kg kettlebell online and my lovely friend Whitney is putting KettleWorx on a USB for me so I can do the 6 week gonna-kick-my-ass workouts. I guess what I was doing wasn’t working (gaining inches, what the actual fuck) so I need to step it up.

Well if you hate spiders, I’d avoid Australia! They’ve got some enormous ones over there. Ughhh. And lots of poisonous ones. We’ve only got one mega poisonous one but it’s endangered and only lives in sand dunes in the middle of nowhere. I think this is the first time I’ve ever found a spider in my bed, so no, it’s not common at all! I think it’s only the second or third spider I’ve ever seen in this house too! Although I guess it depends on the house, some places get more spiders than others but I’m sure you’d get that in any country!
