What's In A Week?

Tuesday:

‎1. Felt so weak I gave up training in the gym after 30 minutes.
2. Played hard to catch - cute guy gave me "the interested look" while we walked fast over the bridge. At the stop light he said, "hi, (blah blah) you walk fast but it looks nice". I said thanks and continued my fast walk. He tried to keep up, letting me know he was racing with me. I left him behind after 3 blocks. Couldn't remove the smile on my face ;-).
3. Headed home (8.30pm) with a big container full of boiled rice and IT WAS HEAVY! I struggled to carry it!! The whole time I was thinking, "how am I going to cope carrying a LOG at the end of this month!!!??!

4. Did my 45mins of swimming. A guy of a certain descent used the pool with me. As I passed him, his hand reached towards me, ACK!! I grabbed hold of it in time! I stood up still holding his hand, and asked him what he was trying to do!!!? He apologised, said he was not a good swimmer. I let go, and told him to be careful please as I did not want the incident repeated. Lucky for him I couldn't do much underwater! To think I thought I could let my guard down now.... :-/

Wednesday:

‎1. Slept after 3am, chinwagged (oopsie, hahah). Woke up before 8am. Tried to be creative but could not match clothes and footwear for 30mins. Kept thinking, "what the heck am I wearing!!??!".
2. Stepping out of the gym after 15mins of not trying. Three guys walked in, in need of a 4th person to partner up for boxing. I said, "okay but softly softly for me please, I feel flat". More than a 1500 punches and 115 pushups later, I switched places with our instructor and did it all over again with him (caught the punches)!! Great news was he said I was ready for the obstacle course event, woohoo!!!

3. Rushed after work to Krav Maga session where tonight I learned a variety of groin kicks and how to roundhouse on both legs.
4. Thankful for the spa to soothe my pulped arms and bruised legs. Wishing for a sports massage. Praying for restful and unbroken sleep. Good night ♥ xoxox !

Thursday:

‎1. Restful sleep until 3am, devotion and studies until 5.30am. Back to sleep until time to go to work.
2. Attended our usual boxercise session - today 700+ punches and 75 pushups then switched roles. Each punch I threw and caught felt like I was also getting hit across my ribs. OOOUCCHHH! Fellas were impressed yesterday and surprised/glad I showed up for todays class. (I have so many bruises....) I admit feeling good about my instructor also being in pain coz it meant I made the workout hard for him too, eheheh.

3. Cooked a feast of fried rice!!! Ack! Still had to throw away a lot of leftover boiled rice :-/ ....
4. Just decided to go to the spa again now before I continue my studies. Thankful tonight will be more relaxed, just relaxing at home. Praying to learn my lessons well and to apply them well in life.

Friday:

‎1. Nothing is worse than preferring to sleep but waking up alert in the middle of the night. Yet, had lots of clear thoughts about myself, my passions/styles, and others/interactions/relationships. Experienced an epiphany that was so clear I could not deny nor disregard it... ♥ scared/excited ♥.
2. Attracted a LOT of dogs today... all of them followed my scent well. Helped with some canine training :-).

3. I always said I have mostly great colleagues. Today (this week) was full of reminders of why I appreciated them. Thank you always ♥. For example within the gym today, while I practised my kicks on the punching bag, a colleague stopped his own training to hold the body pad so I could kick him instead! Then another helped to fine-tune my moves. Then another offered to work on other combos with me next week. Plus the other 3 who were already advising/training/helping me! I'm so blessed ♥.
4. Fashion Week started. Melbourne is full of beauuuuwwwtiful looking people!! It's great, fun to dress up (love that the guys are making an effort too), socialise with the "in" crowd, and giggle with the girls.... BUT, in the scheme of things, it felt... full of.... utter meaninglessness :-/.... If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person :-).

Saturday:

‎1. No workout today. Not even a pushup or situp ♥ :-))).
2. Almost bought a big rock on a ring - blingy but classy. Stopped by a friend who was adamant diamond rings should be given to a girl, or else buy myself the a diamond pendant or earrings instead...?? :-(
3. Feels weird having "thinned" hair.... Hairdresser said I had enough for 2 people. She cut them off and left me with much less than half to work with, eheheh, ack.
4. Celebrated birthdays and birth ♥.

Sunday:

‎1. I love going to church on Sundays. It is a part of my day that I devote to God. During my sojourns (2007 onwards) it helped to focus my whirlwind life. I still don't know where I got my energy those mornings I ran to church for the 9am service when I was dancing and awake with girlfriends til after 4am!!?! Nowadays I'm more into growing and getting to know his Word.
2. Two birthdays, one lunch, yummy cake! Happy birthday!! :-) Sorry I couldn't join the group to the fair. And fyi, as per conversation,http://eniar.org/news/Moomba.html, hihihih!
3. More fashion and girliness with mommy, sister and sis' friend. ♥
4. Ran for the pool to squeeze in 30mins of swimming! But it was already locked, lights off, and closed early!!! UGH! Did a few pushups at home instead (uninspired).

Monday:

1. Public holiday, yey! Grateful for the extra day off ♥. Still woke up way too early but lazed in bed watching Bambi II and Pinocchio. Blogged too -"I'mPerfect". Please say it again, “I’m perfect”… :-).
2. Swam freestyle for 45mins, 20-25mins of it without the snorkel's mouthpiece. Drowned maybe 10 times, but kept going, ack :-). My ears are still clogged. Stayed 30mins in the spa afterwards. My body feels strong but I seem to take longer to recuperate.... Signs of older age??? :-/

3. Thank you God. I finally did not feel sleepy and was even very attentive during tonight's lecture (lesson 4)! ♥
4. Grocery shopping (thankful shop open til midnight) – ALL healthy foods. I have lots of excess/junk foods in my pantry (I did not buy). I don't know what to do with them, where to hide or place them!!??! I feel bad feeding them to friends, colleagues and groups as they complain about temptations or their diets ruined! l really wish they were healthy snacks, or proper foods, then I would have eaten all of them by now. My head starts to ache when I see them. Is it possible to get stressed from seeing too much junk food?? :-/
