i have to drive
i have my reasons, deer
it’s cold outside
i hate the seasons here

i suffer mornings most of all
i feel so powerless and small
by 10 o’clock i’m back in bed
fighting the jury in my head

Amanda Palmer – Have to Drive.

Some mornings are hard, get out of bed, have to shower, evaluate the day. Set about it. It improves, usually, as it goes on, no matter what mood my head or my stomach were in first thing. At times, it doesn’t, so I head back home. Down the hill. Past the pretty flowers. But I don’t drive. Not to work. Unless I have “things” to do. Appointments. That need to be rushed to between clients. Between work. Between the outside world.

(The Who Killed Amanda Palmer videos – do it.)

I can feel the saliva starting already!

October 2010 077
Tamarind Stir-Fry from Low Fat Fast

Yummy Lemon
Just Delicious Crushed Lemonade – it’s sweetened with apple juice rather than cane sugar

Yums! I love sour and lemon! The thought of sucking on a slice of lemon just gets me salivating. And smiling :)

Diet and Exercise Journal

Excited because my new It’s all about me journal came :) I had a couple of these and used them well to keep myself on track a couple of years ago, and this will totally help me to get back into it!

Always nice to be accountable in some way. I’ll have this November/December/January period to get myself back into recording (not that there’s any guarantee of good habits, but recording it is a start!!) before the new year really kicks in.

I love how it has places to track weights and cardio worksouts, along with abdominals in its own space! (Better do them then!!), which is much better than many journals that only let you track food and calories. It also has “check ins” every 2 weeks.

(for the boys, or for those who prefer discreter than red (it used to be bright pink!), there’s also a black journal available)

I also signed up for two sessions of bootcamp a week for the next 7 weeks in the lead up til Xmas. That, and being inspired by healthy green apples on my blog layout (yes, click through if you haven’t already) instead of cupcakes and things I can’t actually eat will set me on the right track!

ANU bike

How cool is that bike? Don’t you wish you were cool enough for a bike like that? I know I’m not! Uni students these days and their cool bikes. I’ll never be one of them.

I still think walking is the safer option for me ;)

It’s PINK and scented – Raspberry Rapture

October 26, 2010

Maybe 2 years ago now? Maybe last year, Revlon had a three pack of spring nail polishes, a pink rapberry one, a bluey sparkly blueberry and another purply one. These have, of course, spent most of their life in the box of miscellaneous beauty crap I have next to the bed. Told ya they’d slowly [...]
