New ice skates + swimming = new healthier me
My current obsession is not losing weight, but getting fit! This can only be a good thing. Whether I'll do it or not is another thing, though (when I'm motivated it's extreme but lasts about 2 seconds).
I bought ice skates!!!!! I am so so so happy with them. It felt like Christmas, I swear. I kept the box next to me in the living room all night and wore them for about an hour as I watched TV. I even took photos (must upload here to brag). I bought them myself... which makes it less Christmassy, but I never never never buy myself things (I only babysit so ALL my money goes on the metro, food, rent and going out.. never material things that I can keep). I just kept looking at the box. Retail therapy, I fucking love it.
So today Enric took them to the ice rink... they have my skates right now :( I miss them... but they need sharpening. I won't get them back til Wednesday. But then next Fri me and Enric can go skating!! (did I mention I'm actually crap? but the idea is to learn, and buying my own skates was just to avoid spending money on skate hire every week)
And we've also googled places to go swimming here in Barcelona. There's one place which is 6:50 euros per day and you can use the jacuzzi and SAUNA as well. A sauna! I've never used one before, I googled all the health benefits and it's amazing for getting rid of toxins through sweating... so cool!
I still have marks/scars from where I cut my leg in a rage about, what, a month ago? More I think. They're just temp scars but bugger me when are they going to go? Luckily I have to get my swimming costume sent over from England so I have at least a little while longer for the scars to fade. Awkward.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend,
Lisa xx
edit: We also ordered online tonight and I bought only healthy food.
