So, i know i have been ridiculously rubbish at this blogging stuff, but since i finished uni in June, me and my Mac have been on a break, after spending hours upon hours of writing essays, enjoying my free time! But i can officially say, i am back, full of motivation and excitement!
So... whats new????
well, im moving house! In fact its 6 days until i officially move, and 2 days until i get the keys so i can go in, give it a good clean, light my candles, and start moving some of the boxes over! I am working the day we move, so its left down to my competent (hopefully) other half and his man friends to move all the heavy malark i have in my house! In fact i am not just working the day i move, i am working from today right through till move day, with the exception of Thursday where i can go and clean! Stressful, tiring yet so exciting at the same time! I feel like after the crappy year i have had prior to this, a move and a fresh start is exactly what i need!
At christmas time, my Nan gave me £100 of vouchers to spend at Next, so when i move, i am going to go out and treat myself to some of their beautiful home collections, which my nan would have loved. Although she is no longer around, it will be my house warming present from her. I have been missing her terribly, and when i went over a few days ago i found myself getting very emotional. i suppose thats normal, but i know she wouldn't want me to shed any tears, but i still feel very much in denial about her being gone. As soon as i hit the road and started heading home, the sadness lifted, because mentally i can still see her sat in her chair, waiting for me to ring and let her know i got home safely...
What else is new? Really, nothing! I have a bit of work to do for uni, and in preparation of my dissertation for my third year, nothing exciting there, although i am really looking forward to going back to Uni, start of the end and all that, because come May thats another chapter of my life i will be able to close. Which as much as i am looking forward to doing so, its scary to imagine what i am going to do when i've finished. I am still not set on one direct career path, when at 23 i feel like i should be, i guess i want to try a little bit of everything. If i could give every job a go, one week each, it would be my perfect lifestyle.
Im one of these annoying people that wants to do, try and explore everything. I am always the person asking why. But if you don't ask you don't find out!
I have spent quite a lot of time the last 6 weeks in Birmingham visiting my mum and sister, seeing old friend, catching up, and enjoying myself. I went into a real slump at the end of June, feeling sadder than i have ever felt before, and it was something i couldn't shift. So i took myself home, Mum booked some time off work, and she spent it giving me a few harsh words of reality, which i really needed. I am so lucky to have such an amazing mum, we have no secrets, and she won't ever tell me what i want to hear if she doesn't agree with it. Which can be a pain at times, but we have such a special relationship. I can honestly say at 23 years old, I am quite happy to travel on the coach 5 hours, just for a cuddle at the end of it! But its not just my mum, my whole family are brilliant and supportive. I just need to work on being able to open up with others, and not just my mum... because as i have discovered more in the last 6 weeks than ever before, is that talking is incredibly therapeutic.
Diet wise, i am not going to lie, it hasn't been amazing, but i have lost a few lbs in the last 6 weeks. which really isn't a great achievement, but it is better than a gain! Once i am all settled again it will be easier, and me and Weight Watchers will be reunited once more! Though i have had a really good few days, and i am feeling good inside!
I realise this is meant to be a diet blog and i have spent 95% of this post writing about my life (which is not incredibly exciting) but it'll be back to business with the next one, talking about my Actimel and Banana and all the healthy goodness i have been eating!
