Ruby Velour

I have a sore butt cheek from all this bike riding. Hopefully this means I am working on formerly unused butt muscles which means my butt will soon look fabulous in a pair of bike shorts ;)

My diet is going terribly. I am such a guts, it's awful. I do one good deed food-wise, only to ruin it later that day by eating something very bad for me. I saw a girl at gym tonight who looked amazing, as I watched her running on the treadmill it struck me how she and I have the same build, she's just slimmer and fitter than me. She had it all from the long torso, nice round booty and not-very-defined ankles! And yet she looks awesome! Like a proper woman, curves but so lean and fit. Her "bad" features, the features I HATE on me, looked really quite good and so I am going to make actual PROPER effort to lose weight now! My exercise regime has been top-notch but I am going to take it to the next level by getting a personal trainer. This is a BIG deal because I loathe personal trainer with every fiber of my being...but I have to suck it up if I ever want to lose these nasty 10kg that won't go away.

And to conclude this in the most unrelated, hilarious way possible...I present to you the funniest workplace safety video ever. There's a fair bit of gore but it's in a fun way:

I'm only updating because I just painted my nails with special nail hardener which takes forever to dry and everytime I got to bed before it completely dries, it ends up getting bumpy from the sheets. I like my nails nice and smooth, thank you Mr Sheets. Also I am totally boring.

This weekend was good. Being oncall this week was a total bludge, hardly any calls. I spent Friday night and all day Saturday with mum. She is looking at buying a house since she and dad are preparing the family house to be sold soon, so we went and had a look at that. It's really cute and for really cheap considering it's four bedrooms and has a pool. It is in Booval but it's a nice part and I think it's great value. I also think it'll be less maintenance and also convenient to shops and public transport, which will suit her much better than shitty old Karana Downs.

Saturday evening I drove home as I had plans to go to Monster Joe's later on. I got stuck on a massive tech call for nearly two hours but once that was sorted I went to Step Inn with the gang and had an awesome night. It was kind of weird (n a good way) but three people stopped me during the night to ask if I was the one behind the zombie walk. Buggers me how they knew, but hey, I sort of felt like a celebrity for less dorky reasons than "Hey aren't you that girl who's in that Harry Potter fan club?" (it's happened a few times, I'm afraid). I don't know how but I got seriously, terribly wasted and stayed out til after 5am, where I stumbled home with the house mate of a guy I work with and then passed out. I paid dearly for it on Sunday, with one of the worst migraine's I've had in ages (nearly spewing in a chemist in New farm? So not cool).

Today I am going to try and lose this 2kg I have gained. Well I've only really gained 1.6kg but it's still appalling after all that hard work I put in. My motivation is at an all-time low but I'm going to try my best not to eat too much rubbish and make it to gym at least three times a week for 90 mins each time. Oh ad I might take up fencing with a girl from work, since we both really enjoyed it on the bad camp last week. Plus I can finally swashbuckle for real!

Well I'm on a total high right now because this week I lost another 1.6kg which bring my weight loss up to 4.3kg in three weeks! happy? YOU BETCHA BOTTOM DOLLAR! And so many people have noticed, people who didn't know I was dieting (so ya know, it wasn't just them being nice) which is an even bigger boost. GO CARA! GO CARA!

Aaaand before I toddle off to mum's to stay the night (so I don't spend money out, and therefore have more $$$ for Melbourne) I just wanted to post the new DUSK poster _snitchbitch and I made. Very pleased with it we are, and we've gotten a lot of great feedback for it too, which is always lovely:

I LOST 1.3KG THIS WEEK! I was sort of disappointed at first until I got my waist measured and I have already lost 5cm! So while I didn't lose lots of kg's I've obviously converted a bunch of flab into muscle which is fucking fantastic! I am even more determined than ever now, knowing I did so well in just a week. BOOYEAH!

Today was a great day. Even though I had a bit of a big one last night I got up at a decent time, mum came over and we went op-shopping. I bought a pink, faux-leather, snakeskin jacket, a silver handbag and a couple of hot pink/black tops. Oh and a new teapot. I could have gone really berserk but managed to restrain myself, until pay day anyway. Then went to Indooroopilly as mum had to go to the hairdressers so I wandered about and got a new, designer pinafore dress for a mere $9 (from a whopping $99.99)! So now I have something new and cute to wear to Good Vibrations tomorrow (which I'm totally psyched about, by the way. I'm so going to wig out over Calvin Harris. WIG OUT!).

And finally, this is the latest poster I did for DUSK at Planet nightclub. They didn't get me to do the last one, and got someone else to make a shitty looking thing...and so they got me back for this poster! I managed to do something completely diferent and I am so pleased with the results:
