Keepin it to myself

Ever since I started electronic journalling - two years ago ... I have always kept my info private. Over time as I've meet some good friends through this medium I have opened up my journal and allowed them into my life. These guys are the 8th wonders of the world sometimes. They pick me up, dump me quickly and all of the time give me a push in the right direction. Been thinking alot about this lately. I know some of my online buddies have received some real flak from some nasty customers and I guess I've always been paranoid of that happening to me. I always want people being positive about my weightloss efforts - even in the form of constructive criticism but always positive. I've always been terrified that if I got one nasty comment from stranger I'd lose it completely, but now I've come this far down the track I think I'm ok with that. I've decided that this year, I'm going for goal. I need all the support, motivation and inspiration I can get - I'm opening up my journal. Not to the extent where I'm posting it on a huge advertising campaign across the internet LOL, just going to start leaving my journal address on peoples comments. If you read my journal and find me inspirational, then add my journal as a link *gulp*

Wow ... I've done it ... *sweating*

Yesterday was a funny ole day, I got up and went for a walk first thing - about 20 mins from home the heavens opened up and I got drenched ANDDDDDDDDD hailed on! I ended up running home which I dont think was highly intelligent cos I got even more soaked LOL however, I did it and felt great afterwards. Really alive - probably due to the fact that it had got cold and I was freezing! LOL I was supposed to get changed and then head into town on the train for a workout, however with the rain it made me a bit late and also my chest and arms were still incredibly tender from their Wednesday workout. So instead I had a huge breakfast, cleaned up around here and caught a late train to Petone, off which Craig picked me up and we went to a bar for lunch. I had delish calamari, salad and fries *doh*. I went for another walk yesterday afternoon just down to the shops for bananas & yoghurt - I have found the most yummiest yoghurt! Now this is a big thing for me, I never ate yoghurt until about 3 months ago and now I cant get enuff of the stuff! It's fresh n fruity 99.8% fat free - mango passionfruit punch mmmmmmmmm I could eat the whole 1kg container of it!

I'm really looking forward to Monday, Monday I go back to work - I know I'm crazy huh? LOL I've really enjoyed my time off, I really needed it - 2005 was a bloody long and busy year especially the last 4 months, however I'm ready to really get back into things. I've got a full work diary for January already and I want to get back into my good eating & exercise routines again.

I've already worked out my new exercise routine which I'll follow for the next 5 weeks - yep 5 WEEKS until my triathlon *squeal*

Monday - gym (morn) - 1hr walk or bike (afternoon)
Tueday - walk (morn) - swim (afternoon)
Wednesday - gym (morn) - walk or bike (afternoon)
Thursday - walk (morn) - swim (afternoon)
Friday - gym (morn)
Saturday - rest (housework EWWWWWWWWWW)
