(An announcement: I’ll no longer be posting photos of Suicide Girls on my blog. I want to narrow the niche and stick to what it’s all about- healthy living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I’m sorry to disappoint heaps of readers, but I’m done with that for now.)
Today has been buusssyyyy! I got up at 7am with the intention of going for a run and then a bike ride and then a swim later on in the day, well, that did not happen. I had my pre-workout breakfast of PB + J on toast and half a large banana with a cup of coffee, but then Ma asked me if I wanted to go to the Farmers market with her and that she’d be leaving early. I love the Farmers market simply for the cheap books they sell, I always pick up a seriously good Stephen King book or something and I didn’t wanna miss that opportunity again.
I went and never got around to exercising. I bought “Needful Things” by Stephen King because Emma has highly recommended it to me, and even though I find Stephen King a bit intense, I wanted to check it out.
I started getting really grouchy because I hadn’t exercised since Monday and that’s a looonnngg break for me. When I’m off for that long, my mind starts playing tricks on me…. I get really self-conscious, start becoming convinced that I’m gaining weight and get really fussy about my food. Usually, when I’m exercising regularly I don’t care about what I eat, but when I’m not, every. little. calorie. counts. It’s probably a really unhealthy mindset to have but I can’t help it.
We went to check out some op-shops after that and I got the cutest little running skirt!!! I was very pleased because I’ve wanted one for ages but they cost around $70 in the shops 
I got mine for cheapsies 
We also went to the SPCA to visit the cute animals… I fell in love and made a new best friend with the cutie-pie, TUESDAY
There were also some cute Labrador puppies 
Aren’t they sweet?! I really hope someone comes along and offers them a safe, loving home.
After that I came home and went straight over to Emma’s. We chilled for a bit and then went to see Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland” (which I will post a full review of tomorrow). By time that was finished and we got back to her house it was 5.30pm, I dashed home on my scooter, got ready and went down to the gym…
Epic fail.
I forgot that the gym closes at 6pm on weekends, so I got there and it was shut. I freaked out a little bit because I felt as though I needed exercise but the GYM WAS CLOSED!! It’s been so long since I exercised outside of the gym that I kinda didn’t know what to do :/
I followed my new training plan and went for a run. I did 5 minutes running with 2 minutes walking, 5 times. Felt great to get outside and I felt fit and fast, but after about 15 minutes my knees started hurting not good… I came home, stretched and iced them. I sat down and watched the Simpsons, then I cooked dinner for myself. It was DELICIOUS! At the Farmers Market we picked up 2 big fat Butternut Squash pumpkins- my FAVOURITE vegetable in the entire world. I chopped them up, put them in a baking tray and roasted them for 30 minutes on high with paprika, salt and pepper for seasonings. They were soooo good. It was like Butternut Squash chips.
I also had a whole wheat bread bun filled with cheese, salad, beetroot, tomato, sundried tomato, hummus and chutney, I also put some leftover roasted pumpkin inside… Man, it was awesome.
I should’ve taken photos but this was a meal where I was too hungry to remember lol.
Anyway, moving onto GOOD NEWS….
I GOT INTO THE ARMY CAREERS EXPERIENCE!!!!!! So happy! When I found out I was jumping for joy like CRAZY! I’m so proud of myself and I cannot believe I made it. I DESERVED to make it though, I worked so damn hard at the fitness test. This is one of my all time greatest achievements and I’m SO excited for the holidays so I can get into it
I can’t wait and I look forward to keeping you guys updated on the haps
Have an AWESOME Sunday tomorrow!
xoxo
