Yesterday I had another lovely night out with some of my girls.. Charlotte's birthday in London. She hired a booth in a club overlooking Piccadilly Circus. Charlotte loved the present I got her, it was so nice to see how happy she was with it! It was a very cool evening, and actually a fairly cheap night out - £24 for the return mini bus ride and then I only paid for one cocktail for about £8. Melissa got me one too, so that's not bad for the night, my health drive is still intact.
Speaking of which, Melissa dropped me off at the gym so I spent half an hour on the cross trainer.. Then got back to town in time to go to the shops and buy a Pilates mat, and get a new battery for my pedometer so I'll start that up again now. I must have spent about 6 months monitoring my steps when I lived in Watford, trying to do as many as possible every day.
While I was at the gym I started thinking about food - started off deciding I was going to get a take-away as it's Sunday, then thought I should cook it myself as it's healthier and cheaper, then decided to go to full - on healthy with Quorn and cashew nut Thai curry with brocoli and beans. Was really good, and felt good putting the effort in to what I'm eating.
Melissa talked me into texting the ex, so that I would finally know either way whether something might happen between us. He didn't text me back. So in a way it was a waste of time because I still don't know for sure either way. But for now not getting a response has annoyed me so I'll be more proactive about seeing other men. In Marks and Spencers yesterday I saw a man. I think I was more attracted to him in the ten minutes we were in the same shop than I had been to anyone for a long time. He looked a bit like Adrien Brody. I don't usually fancy someone based purely on looks, but this was one of those times when you just look at someone and know they're the kind of person you'd like to know.. I subtly followed him around the shop for about 60 seconds then I left him to it. It was nice while it lasted!
Yesterday I got my hair cut. This must be some sort of record for me because it's only 8 weeks since I last had it cut. I'm finally putting more effort into the way I look. Last week I made sure my hair looked good, wore my contact lenses and I looked after my skin every day. I know it's a shallow sort of feeling, but it made me feel a bit better every day.
Yesterday I listened to the latest Grizzly Bear album (a couple of times). It's soooo good! Just one of those heartwarming sounds.
This evening I was singing along to The Strokes - Angles, and now I'm relaxing to The National - High Violet.
So I've got the Total Toning class tomorrow, I'm a bit scared but really excited.
Took my measurements, but the only thing that had actually gone down was my weight - down to 70.5kg (so that's -0.6kg) so I'm not going to bother writing it down this week, just work for something better next week!
So the end of this week is the end of my leave year.. Which means I should probably start applying for jobs..
