Have a refresh on things

Amazing how you spend your Saturdays in your pyjamas, you have the ability to wanting to go out and get the little bits that you need, but you feel you have to build enough energy to motivate yourself to do so, that is how I felt today folks.

Instead I felt in the mood to cruise on the net and look at things that I cant even afford due to the fact that I’m going on holiday in the nearly 13 days. It sounds like I’m going by a countdown at the moment. Well, it is needed due to the fact my friend and myself really need this holiday to get away and have a refresh on things, whether it’s work related, home-life related or relationship related but I will say this, we really need this holiday and I cannot wait for sun, sea, sand and hotels rooms. What more can thirty something ask for.

But lets not get to ahead of ourselves, I still have a few more days to go. So, for the next few days it’s about keeping myself busy by doing more sessions at the gym, maybe wake up a few minutes early in the morning for a spot of yoga and stretches to perk myself for the day, still undergoing my driving lessons and a spot of museum visits as well.

This morning while I was looking at my emails, I stumbled across the Botticelli Reimaged exhibition at the V&A which I have been meaning to go to, but there’s always something that pops up either work, emails, socialising with friends or gym. So, my mum and I have agreed to take a visit on one of my day’s off coming up, away of re-establishing my creative juices and familiarising myself with my love of Art and painting. What a great day that will be.

If you feel in the mood to be inspired and wake up that creativity you once had, check out the rest of exhibitions happening now at the V&A. Check out link: http://www.vam.ac.uk

 

 

 

Let’s get Physical, I wanna get Physical

This evening I left work on time because I felt in the mood to embrace the fun complexities of the gym for day 2. After having a good session of body pump yesterday, I thought to myself, why not. As I got home to get ready and prepare my gym bag, I felt myself slipping into the idea of staying home and not willing to face the cold. I felt unhappy that I made that decision but I will be making up to myself this week. After all, I did have a good session on Monday and I have an exciting holiday to think about at the end of March so my positivity levels are gradually raising.

For this evening I decided to sit in with mum and rest my fragile muscles. Undergoing body pump Monday evening was definitely awake up call to my muscles. They were shaking continuously within the session. My instructor said it was a way of my muscles waking up and not using them in a while. At that moment, I  was thinking heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelooooooooooooooo, lol. “Is this a sign of getting old” or will “it will be shaking in the next session” but I had to snap out of it and make sure to put in the effort for Thursday’s session. One of my colleagues at work goes to the gym at least 4 times a week, that is what I call “dedication”. Dedication of getting fit, eating health and minimising the calories, and people’s favourite  – feeling good about yourself. The first thing I said to her is “I need to take a leaf out of your book”, but then I thought to myself, my reason for the gym is toning up my body, getting fit and sometimes I feel it’s way of clearing my mind from everything you deal with on a normal day such as issues and paperwork. I have no intention of losing weight because I feel comfortable with my curves and wouldn’t change a thing.

I’m a woman for Christ sake, I’m suppose to have curves.
