Life over the last few days has been a bit of a bore but being able to hang out with my sisters has been awesome. We’ve been making heaps of stuff… muffins, cookies, Swedish Tea Rings…
I’ll be working my regular holiday job over at the Scholastic Factory, YAY! Earning money, seeing as I still haven’t handed out my CV to anyone in Botany yet even though I have typed it out. YUSS! My next short term goal is to hand them out before school starts… which is going to hard seeing as I’m working next week and I’m a procrastinator and I’m physically unable to do anything involving strangers without someone holding my hand.
Long term goal: Lose 10 kg… It’s a challenge but I’m totally ready and willing to take it on. Right now, I’m about 61 kg. I think it was my mum who suggested this when we were in Malaysia and I know that sounds REALLY sad, your mum saying that you need to lose weight, but I’ve unhappy with my weight since I was like 13. Besides, I promised my aunty I would lose 10 kg in order to fit my ball dress better, which she bought. I know it sounds like heaps of weight but it isn’t really. I’ve had people tell me that I really don’t need to lose that much and it’s heaps of weight but if I lose 10 kg then I’ll be the same weight as Genie, who obviously isn’t stick thin.
So far it’s been good but because I don’t really want to go outside to exercise I’ve been doing crunches and sit-ups. At the end of last year during the Stage Challenge auditions we had to do 5 sets of 8 cruches and I almost died… Now I can do 100 in one go, YAY. I was also doing press-ups and got to the point where I could do almost 20 in one go (which is an achievement seeing as I used to struggle doing 1, no kidding) but then realised that I’d get bulky arms… which is something that I really don’t want so I stopped.
Because I eat pretty healthy anyway I’ve decided just to eat smaller portions… and to be honest it’s been kind of fun… I don’t know why I said that… weird choice of word but whatever. I don’t know what’s going to happen when we start school because during school I’ll have a huge brekkie but by morning tea I’m starving. So far I haven’t been too hungry but that’s because I haven’t been doing too much.
This whole thing would be so much easier if we had a set of bathroom scales in the house. I don’t expect for the weight to fall off but I also don’t expect to fail. My BMI is 25.6 according to http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Result.aspx?&dob=9/24/1990&dom=1/28/2008&age=208&ht=155&wt=61.4&gender=2&method=1 I’m at risk of being overweight *gasp*.
I wonder what school’s going to be like. Being the last year of school I’m going to have to work really hard… but I have to lots of fun because even though I’m going on to Uni it won’t be the same. I was thinking about the last day of school the other night and I was imagining everybody crying and hugging and all that then it hit me… That’s happening THIS YEAR… In like 10 months time. Scary stuff. The next time I’m going to the orthodontist I’ll be 18! 18! I think I’m having a mid(ish)-teen crisis…
