Well it's time for a new blog. I think the last one got the record number of comments so far, (29 woo!) but that was because it was jam packed with action-fun goodness.
I was surprised no one mentioned the drawing however.
Anyway, I've not got as much to post about this time, been hanging out with friends as usual - had a really nice roast dinner yesterday at S's and she made me a great veggie gravy with red wine and something else which I forget, but it was lush. We watched Alan Carr's stand up dvd, which was pretty good and Harold and Kumar get the munchies which was pretty lame.
I've decided to make a few changes. I've put a bit of weight back on again, so that has to go. I've got back into the habit of eating lots, even if it's only once a day and that has to stop. I've been snacking all evening for the past few days due to being stoned most of the weekend.
So here are my objectives:
Eat less. I felt a lot better when I ate less. I often get people telling me I should eat a certain way or so many times per day or 'it's not good for you'. Well, I know my body pretty well and I listen to it. When I was at my thinnest and only eating one or two small meals a day I felt great. At the moment - not so great.
Cut back on the pot. Even though I'm not a hardcore stoner, although from the outside it might look like that, I still need to be good about observing my limits.
Join another gym. I used to really enjoy going to the gym, but then for some reason my direct debit didn't come out. They said just to pay it next time I came in. That was about 4 months ago and I'm not paying for 4 months that I didn't use, so I figure I'll join a different place. My house mate goes to one that is slightly closer and also cheaper. Worth checking out.
Give up smoking. The London meet was weird because I appeared to be the only smoker there. In the end Ash and Machiko were smokers too, but three out of a reasonably large group?
Don't get me wrong, it's great that there are so many non smokers now, I wish to join them. I managed to give up for 8 years once before a major upheaval in my life happened and I went back to the fags.
Seriously though, these things are killing me. No if's, no maybe's. They are killing me, right now. I know addiction is not necessarily a rational thing, but I'd like to think I'm smarter than that. I know what some of the underlying causes are and I'm pretty strong willed when I want to be. So, I'm going to give up by the end of this month.
Do more writing. Pinklet recently read some of the novel I've been working on for way too long as a favour and gave me a great compliment - she said she 'had to remind herself that it was me who wrote it.' Hopefully that means I've been doing something right.
Umm... that's it for now I guess.
Hope everyone is good.
