Oops that went fast didn't it?
I didn't do so well this week. While I only missed going to the gym on tuesday, the sudden warmer weather and my final Gardasil injection meant I was a lot less enthused about going and when I did, I didn't seem to work as hard as i felt I should have. My diet has been pathetic :(
I'll get there :)

Week Two
hello. I've been so slack with my entries. Its not like anyone actually reads this anywy though!!
Today marked the begining of week two of my "health and fitness" makeover. I'm not sure if I've lost any weight, but I feel really good.
Ive eaten healthily this whole week, with only one or two slip ups. I ate potato chips on the day I went to the gym for 3 hours and burnt 1050cal :P
*takes up a glass* Cheers to week two.

So Much Energy!
I've been going to the gym everyday now! I feel fantastic! I did have a bit of a huccup with my geology test (as in it got me down) but now its over I feel good again.
Today I treated myself to my first sports bra since high school. Its a great fit and has a racer back so I can wear all my cute gym tanks without having visivle bra straps. I also got another pair of gym pants and two gym tops.
I also gave my room a much needed spring clean. Well... its still in progress, but all the hard stuff is done. I chucked out so much useless rubbish, Including an entire bag of out-of-date cosmetics. I found 3 old mobile phones to recycle and have a bunch of old jewelery, mobile chargers, and other bits n bobs to take down to the Vinnies store. Now to put everything away. *sigh*

ALL RIGHT!
Awesome! I went to the gym yesturday morning at 9am for an RPM class. My greatest friend joined me and we had fun. After we treated ourselves to brekky on O'Connell St, played some Left 4 Dead, watched Evil Dead II and ate salads.
I had awesome amounts of energy all day, and was in a fantastic mood. I kept smiling! Even doing the ticket shift at work wasn't so bad and I got out on time.
My friends leant me a good heart rate monitor and I wore it for RPM and then for the rest of the day. I'm not sure how accurate it is for measuring the amount of calories youve burnt when you are not working out but during my 45min class, my HR got up to 190 (ouch!) and I burnt 515 cal. I burnt an aditional 100 riding to work.
Today I feel slightly stiff, but my biggest issue is my throat. Its very inflamed and sore :( damn flu, leave me alone!
Well today I need to study for my big geology test, its worth 30% of my final grade. I'm going to go to body pump at 5:15pm and then work from 8-12.
later!

Gym-spiration!
I joined up with North Adelaide Fitness Centre today. It's been a long time since my Fitness First membership expired (when I swore I'd never join a gym again!)
I like the place... It's small and kinda crampy. The rooms are separated by long, narrow hallways but I'm keen to go to the Les Mills classes. In fact the lady give me 1 month of their wellness program for free! (Which is quite pricey). I have my session with a personal trainer on Tuesday. They will go around and teach me how to use all the equipment and write up a program for me to follow. As a part of standard membership, you get a program review every 8-10 weeks. sweet!
My goals are to be super fit and toned (and around 50kgs) in 5 months time (or by Clipsal 500 in March next year). According to the lady, this isnt unreasonable and she said I should see significant differences in 2 months. YAY!
Ive still got my damn flu, though it seems to have turned into a nasty nose and a cough. In fact I have really sore sinuses today, something I've never experienced before. Owwwwww

Dreams
Stull have the flu, though I think I am on the mend. For most of the week I have't been able to eat very much due to some horrible nausea. In fact I think in the last week I've eaten as much as I normally would in a day.
I'm going to brave work tonight even though my medical certificate says I shouldn't, but I need to live on something! I'm out of sick pay.
I've been trying for a long time (maybe over a year?) to get motivated to loose weight and tone up. In 2008 my goal was to be "hot" for Clipsal 500, 2009 (which was in March) because it's always hot and I never feel comfortable in shorts and I end up spending the whole time depressed and hot and bothered. Well as you can probably guess, I never made it. In fact I've been a steady ~68-70kg for a few years now.
Well I'm sick of it. I'm sick of feeling uncomfortable about myself. So this time I have given myself to clipsal 500 again (so about 5 months), to tone up and loose the hot chip habbit (I gave up dairy, meat and eggs so how hard can one more be?) and grow out my hair.
So basically, I'm hoping that in one years time my hair will have grown out to around shoulder-length and I'll be sporting a hot body... not skinny... I think I've been focusing on skinny too much, but a tight toned healthy body.
I have an appointment to see the North Adelaide Fitness Centre on monday, they have student rates which give you access to everything for $11.95/week!

Essay Done: POW!
I finally finished my essay. It's not the best but I think it's nice and concice. This was really the first time that I had trouble reaching the minimum word limit.
My flu is still pretty bed. I'm not looking forward to get dressed and trudging into uni to hand up the essay. I have a doctors appointment where hopefully I can get an extention on the geology test I have tomorrow eep! I'll probably also need to get a pass out of my ecology practical tomorrow which will involve walking along the Torrens River for 3 hours. Nope, bed for me!
I'm dissapointed that I will most likely be skipping chior tonight, but I think I will probably be too wiped out from my short visit to uni to even brave going and sitting at the back and just listening to the rehersal.

Flu
I've somehow managed to get the flu. I haven't had one this bad in a long time! It sucks a lot because I still haven't finished my essay. Attempting to write it now...

The Audition
Today was a messy day. It involved a lot of freaking out on my part. I auditioned to be a part of the Mahler 8 "Symphony of a Thousand" in the Adelaide Festival next year.
We had to prepare a short, lyrical, preferably classical piece of music to sing unaccompanied. I just could not find the right song to flatter my voice! About 1hour before my audition, I settled on a Thai folk song "Ngam Saeng Duan" from the 1999 festival of music. It was a good choice too! The audition went well, I got to sing some nice high notes and do some sight reading and I must have done alright as I got in! YAY!
I did manage to get some essay work done yesturday, but none so far today as I've been too worried about the audition. I'm off to work at 5pm-9pm and then straight back into it after!

Today I have achieved nothing...
I had full intentions of getting up early(ish) and starting my biology essay, then going to town for lunch with friends and comming back and doing more essay work before I started work (I'm a nightfiller at Woolworths). However I slept in, looked at various internet stuff, went and had lunch and came home and preceeded to delete about 1Gb of over-exposed or blurry photos off my harddrive. Procrastination at its finest.
All is not lost however. I start work at 8pm, which means I have until 7:30 to get some work done. Can I do it?

Hey all!
The name's Janie. I lead a silly little life which consists mainly of struggling with BPD, work and uni. I have few hobbies, but I like to sing in the uni chior and am auditioning to sing in the Mahler 8 "Chorus of 1000 Voices" or something like that!
Well it's just turned 2am and I really should be getting some sleep. I've been a naughty lazy girl and have left all of my uni work to the last 4 days of the holidays and now have to complete an essay and study for a geology test at the very least. Ah bring on the stress!
edit: Its now 3am. I'm really REALLY good at procrastination. Go.To.Bed.
