Oh man, i’m having a hard time focusing on healthy non-fatty foods right now… It’s cold outside and the shops are stocking up on christmassy stuff like gingerbread, eggnog and other delicacies which drives me mad every time i go shopping!

Does anyone else feel like that or am i the only freak here? :)

I’ve been keeping up with my Spinning classes ok, even though i have only been 2 a week which isn’t enough to really kick ass! But i’ve just been more interested in lying on the couch than going to the gym, i feel like i could sleep forever and the more i sleep the more tired i am. So i’ve figured i’d break the cycle tomorrow morning and get up at 8am to have a game of tennis before work with my Mum. It’s our new Thing, Tennis, well i used to play when i was younger and was quite ok at it but now i’m just depressing on the court :) Whatever! It’s good fun and always good to run around chasing a ball…

Oh, and has anyone had these Spam comments lately? I have been having some every couple of days, it’s really annoying!

I’m back on the spinning bike, yey! It’s tough but feels real good. I had a long summer break but now that the days are getting shorter and the temperatures dropping, i feel like i really need to move my butt a little :). Am slowly getting back into my gym routine, i have been far too lazy lately and it’s not doing me any good, i feel all flabby and tired.

So right now i’m sore as hell everytime i get back from class and it takes me about 2-3 days to be able to walk like a normal person but that’s usually when i intend to get back on the bike so i’m one big load of stiff muscles all the time :D But it feels good to do something and i intend to keep it up and even topping it with some treadmill sessions and some weightlifting! I need to get back into shape, because the way i look right now does not make me happy at all and i’m working on being a happier person, right?!

Plus did i mention it yet? I’m flying to Hongkong on the 30th January to visit my buddy Michèle who is studying Law there for a year. So i want to kick a few of those lbs Goodbye, you know :) so as to be in a good shape when i’m there ;) I’m soooo looking forward to seeing her, she’s been gone since August now and it’s been way too long!

So here i am, full of promises to myself and new resolutions! I feel like karate kickin everything right now and am motivated, wonder how long i can keep that up…

I got tagged by Nancy so here goes…

1. I have an Italian dad and an English mum which makes for a pretty crazy mixture

2. People think i wear contact lenses because my eyes are such a weird grassy green colour (apparently)

3. I’m totally addicted to shopping (i’d buy anything actually), when i’m stressed or in a bad mood i find that shopping helps me relax, sometimes it drives me crazy (it doesn’t help my finances though :D )

4. I had my hair dyed bright pink once when i was in highschool, i looked like a giant highlighter pen

5. I’ve been standing on skis since the age of 4 and i snowboard too

6. Shoes and handbags are a big obsession of mine (cf. point 3.)

7. I have a terrible memory, sometimes i put something somewhere specifically and spend 30 min looking for it because i can’t remember where i put it. The worst is directions, i get lost constantly. It doesn’t help that i’m a little messy too, but i’m working on it :) on a daily basis…

So that was it! And now who will i tag? Or more specifically, who could i tag who hasn’t been tagged yet? :) Well here it comes… I’m tagging Kristi and Lisa Bring it on, Girls!!

Hey Ladies! First of all thanks so much for all the comments, it’s really nice to see i’m not forgotten ;)

I’m getting settled nicely in my new home. It’s all still very new and i need to adjust to the all the stuff that needs to be done in a home because before my mum and the cleaning lade used to take care of those things such as shopping and doing the laundry (which i truly hate i have noticed, because there’s 2 baskets of clothes lying there since over a week now waiting to be washed and ironed, ewwwwwww) It’s all slightly overwhelming at the moment!

I have promised myself to get back On Plan from Monday on and start making Bentos to take to work in order to have more control over the food i put in my mouth. What i’m doing now will not do, i can’t trust that the cooks here put exactly what i tell them in my food plus it might be more of an incentive if i start cooking my own meals who knows? Plus i really need to get back to the Gym, i miss it… Winter has come here and it’s cold and wet outside, so no golf for me at the moment. But i feel like i need to move more, maybe i’ll try and go swimming too (i used to like that alot, plus it’s a really good body shaper)

As if i wasn’t already swamped enough, i have just signed up for a blog on Wordpress. It’ll be a more personal one about me, not only the dieting :) Will post the Link soon, as soon as i have started posting there….

So, i gotta run but i’ll catch up with you’all guys soon!!! xxx
