(no subject)
i haven't used this journal lately , i guess, for a couple of reasons.
first, my job. my (office manager/PA) job keeps me ultra busy, and doesn't give me much time at all on the net. i don't think i even checked my (non work) email at all yesterday. that kind of bums me out, but that's life, right? although in the job i had before this, at westpoint, in which some of you know as the company that fleeced lots of people out of their hard earned dough (but not my division, thank god!) i had shitloads of time to go on the net, and didn't even care if my boss knew (i don't think he did - he wasn't very computer savvy at all!) but now, i really only go onto whitepages.com.au and stuff like that.
second, my partner and i have embarked onto this exercise program - being 40 now (Al) we can't eat and not exercise like we used to. so we walk for at least 1/2 hour every night, through the hills of south perth, then on every second day, stop at the school and do chin ups, push ups, dips, sit ups and lunges, basically until we can't do anymore. i've lost centimetres, not much weight, but i'm told muscle weighs more than fat, plus my pants are looser, so that's a good thing. plus, we've cut out all the junk (except for alcohol, of course!) in our diets, so only have chocolate about once a week, or less. i don't actually miss it, which is strange.
third, i think i've gotten more self conscious as i've gotten older. i don't feel much different from when i was 25, but i think we definitely live in an ageist (is that a word?) society, so being older than my friends (i don't think i have any friends, besides my partner, who are my age!), i sometimes feel out of place.
anyway, life is still good, so shouldn't complain...
