Weird week

So this week is almost up and I want to reflect on it a bit..

Monday was Monday after the weekend at my dad’s place which was awesome (more later).

Tuesday was Mari’s Matric Farewell and she looked cool.

Wednesday was Braaiday and we had some potjie at Gert’s place and then I went to Canal Walk to spend my R500 voucher :)..

Thursday felt like a Monday after the day off but good as I took some Multivitamins which I’m going to make a daily thing as it’s apparently good – and I went to the gym and walked back home afterwards!

Friday is well..  Friday and feels like a Tuesday now and it’s not done yet but drama at work so far has made it interesting so far.

Dries.

O, btw..

  • I did go to the Gym yesterday afternoon and my muscles are killing me today!!
  • We had an awesome lunch at Gert’s house yesterday! It was like a bloody buffet!
  • Day 15 in the life of a non-smoker…
  • The weather here in Cape Town just doesn’t seem to let up!

Coming clean & some changes

Okay, so I have not been blogging for a while now and this quite defeats the point and reason I started this blog in the first place. So here are the reasons and a plan, if you like to call it that, for the future of this blog and also my life:

Coming clean:

  1. I stopped blogging because I stopped going to gym and I stopped going to gym because.. Well, that’s the problem – I can’t really remember. I have this nag for postponing things and when I catch myself at a later stage I have no idea what stopped me from reaching the goals I set myself..
  2. There was some trouble at home which I would rather not go into too much details just yet.
  3. I was frustrated personally at myself for a lot of different reasons that I only have myself to blame for.
  4. My body reacted likewise and I was sort of really sick for the last two weeks and I sort of felt sorry for myself and used it as an excuse as well.
  5. The weather was rather kak and I didn’t smaak facing the cold and rain  just for some sit-ups (that’s what I told myself and it’s a very bad excuse).
  6. I was a potato -couch and let myself enjoy it- a bit too much
  7. I was spending unnecessary money on unnecessary things because I didn’t have anything better to do and I am feeling it now as I begin to head for the end of the month with hardly anything left.

Some changes I would like to make to this blog and it’s future content:

  1. In my original post and my about page I stated the purpose of this blog as starting to exercise and getting fit. This while I was still smoking and drinking away to my hearts content.
  2. I have looked at this now and it doesn’t make sense to try and change one thing in your life and expect everything to just go better at once. You have to really put some effort into it and help yourself along the way and stay motivated as well. This is no easy feat – especially going at it alone.
  3. So I am going to make this content more about my life and if that includes gymming that’s fine. I want to make it a sort of journal of my life and all the good and crappy things that happen. I think I’ll add random stuff as well such as my love for Fomula1 and the fact that I love obsessing over small little stupid things that nobody really cares about.

So I’ll try my best (yet again) to keep this blog regularly updated.

How to Run.

The day I quit smoking

I had my last sigarette on the 31st of August 2008. Let’s hope this date never changes.
