I'm not dead!

I just moved my blog to wordpress because it has a prettier interface.

Bleh, I was sick on Thursday and am still kind of bronchitisy. Since it's just a breathing thing and I'm not contagious anymore I decided to tough it out and go to gym anyway. I felt kind of light-headed and breathless, but also really really good. I did a 45kg bench for the first time (also 5 consecutive chin-ups). =D I also finally broke past ( Read more... )

Ever since I hit 50kgish I've been eating like crap. I made this incredible Guinness chocolate cake with Bailey's buttercream icing for James and my 10 year dating anniversary and (foolishly) undertook the crazy burger challenge that I shall never speak of again. Plus I made some banana cake from Nigella Lawson's Domestic Goddess, and that is ( Read more... )

I was wearing my chunky fingerless gloves because it's cold. James saw them and was like "You are a cute little boxer all the time!" Then he kissed me on the head and walked out of the study. 5 seconds later he walked back in and put a blanket on me.

This little pouch to put my keys, gym card and pen in when I'm working out. From Etsy seller Tokyoinspired:

Down to 53.9kg! According to the dietitian there's only 1kg to go before 16% bodyfat - I feel like I could cut even more, but James made me promise to listen to Regina. My arms are pretty much where I want them to be, but there's a lot more I could lose from my butt and thighs. I'm still lifting as much as I did when I weighed 61kg, but they're ( Read more... )

I've been frantically writing stuff down with my fountain pen to try and use up all my Noodler's Navy so I can put in El Lawrence. I have them all neatly arranged in a box. I turned to James and was like "look at all my inks!"

And he said "I know! You're a squidling!"

*insert mushy smile*

I used my Lululemon voucher today! I bought 2 sports bras ( Read more... )

*talking about Disney songs*

James: I like that song from Beauty and the Beast where all the cutlery is dancing - Let Me Make You Dinner (actual title: Be Our Guest)

It reminds me of several years ago when he was talking about a book I'd read - My Wife, The Hat  (actual title: The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat)

James right now: What are you ( Read more... )

Birthday!

Got a fountain pen from James (Sailor Sapporo demonstrator .. yummm ...), 2 Noodler's inks from Kyoto (Navy and El Lawrence) and a J. Herbin ink from Mouse (Vert Olive). James' parents got me a Lululemon voucher so I can go and pick out some more awesome sweat-wicking workout gear, and Ruth got me these lovely little ramekins. Mum and dad ( Read more... )

I went with Cat and Scott to Bunnings today and one of the things I bought was a baby venus fly trap thingy. It was on the balcony while I was potting some other stuff I bought, and a GIANT fly landed next to the VFT. The fly was probably the size of one of the VFT heads. Anyway, James looked on with anticipation but nothing happened and the fly ( Read more... )
