Weigh In - 24th June & 100 Happy Days...Day 100

I managed this week to remember to weigh myself on Monday morning, intense last minute dance rehearsals after a busy day of work ruined my blog posting however. I may have to re-think my schedule when I move.

Anyway, sticking with my maintaining regime for now I had another on track week. I was really good with my diet until the weekend came and I was treated to amazing home made brownies from Omar's mum and then a few glasses of wine on Saturday night for my friend's birthday.

With no real rush to get home last week I extended my interval training a bit longer and managed a good 45min workout overall. It was nice not feeling like I had to get home at a reasonable time for everyone else to have food, so I'm looking forward to being in my own place and back in control of everything.

100 Happy Days - Day 100

Reaching day 100. I was hoping something completely out of the ordinary would happen in time for my final happy day. Unfortunately it hasn't. So my 100 happy day is happy because I completed my challenge.

I thought I'd have got bored of this a long time ago, and yes I did take some breaks where I didn't have much to say, but I've completed it! Thinking about what makes you happy does make you take a different view on your life and what thinks actually do matter to you.

I tend to be the type of person who sees the bad in things more than the good, and if I had a 100 day complaint challenge I'm sure I'd have no trouble completing it, but this has definitely made me more positive towards things.

I'm proud of myself for finally completing this challenge, and look forward to the next challenge I do.

100 Happy Days...Day 98

Day 98 - Random Moments

My car is in desperate need of a wash at the moment. It's filthy. It's taken since Friday for me to spot it amongst the dirt, as the sun had to fall in the right place, but my wonderful boyfriend left me a message. 'Loser x' it said. How romantic is he?! But he did make me smile. Thanks Omar x

100 Happy Days...Day 96

Day 96 - Seeing Omar

After what feels like forever, I finally got to see Omar this weekend. Knowing that we were going to see each last night made the day at work pass much more quickly. A quiet night in watching The Big Bang Theory, Bondi Vet and Once upon a Time, whilst eating one of our favourite meals (lasagne and garlic bread, yum!) was just what we needed. Living so far away is such a pain, I can't wait to be a ten minute drive from him.

Day 88 - finding a picture that sums you up

My boyfriend would agree that this is very much me. I fidget, I can't get comfortable, I wriggle, I fall asleep and I want cuddles every time we sit down to watch something. Makes me happy to know I'm not completely strange and there's others like me in this world

100 Happy Days...Day 84

Day 84 - Trips out with Omar

Omar and I decided to have a little trip to Ikea to do get some furniture ideas for my flat. Although he wasn't very helpful in making any decisions (he only liked the colour wood that I'd already ruled out), he did make the trip more enjoyable. From trying to climb into a child's egg chair, hiding amongst things, and trying to push me into a wardrobe to go visit Narnia, it's safe to say it was a very interesting trip. So lesson of the day, boyfriends aren't always helpful when making decisions on house furniture, but Ikea is like a big play area for them and they will just make you laugh all the time you're there.

100 Happy Days...Day 75

Day 75 - Kindness

I'm still struggling to find things to be happy about at the moment. I'm distracting myself with constant revision, just because I don't really know what else to do. But one thing that has made me smile is the kindness of my boyfriend who has been amazing all weekend. That and his rendition of "do you want to build a snowman" are one of the few things to make me smile.

I'm hoping dancing will cheer me up too, but we'll see how it goes.
