June Round Up

02/07/2015      1 Comment

Aaaargh! It’s July, where the hell is this year disappearing to? I know I’m getting old when I start stressing out about the time flying past but I just can’t get my head around it. Although I do think that this last month I’ve finally managed to pull my socks up and try to organise myself a bit. It’s only taken me half the year to sort my head out but I’ve got there now and I feel so much better for it.

June round Up

Making: plans. We’ve booked a holiday for September and I’ve put a deposit down on a course.

Cooking: still not much. I’ve been training most nights the past couple of weeks so Tom has been doing the cooking. As much as he keeps trying to get me to call at McDonalds on the way home I keep refusing.

Drinking: so much water. I actually have a bet going with someone in work to not drink any alcohol until the end of July. It’s going well so far.

Reading: I’ve gone back to Paper Aeroplanes by Dawn O’Porter. I’m sick of having a stack of half read books so I’m trying to work my way through them before I start anything else.

Wanting: to have a massive clear out. I have so much stuff that needs clearing through.

Looking: for some new gym clothes.

Playing: nothing really.

Deciding: what to do with my hair next. I’m so happy to be getting my roots done this weekend.

Wishing: that I was stronger and fitter and not as scared to do things.

Enjoying: doing Cross Fit. Who would’ve thought that would ever happen?

Waiting: for this spot on my chin to leave me alone. It’s taken up permanent residence.

Liking: the weather being warmer.

Wondering: if my legs will ever stop aching.

Loving: that I’m going home to Liverpool this weekend.

Pondering: a redesign of my blog.

Considering: what the best course of action is to get to my goals.

Watching: loads of Netflix documentaries. I love them.

Hoping: that I can get something fun done at the hairdressers on Saturday.

Marvelling: at my gorgeous best friend and the baby in her belly.

Needing: to go shopping.

Smelling: of Caroline Herrera CH. I’m working through the stockpile of perfumes I have.

Wearing: My new Nike trainers. They’re so bright I love them.

Following: Orange Is the New Black. I have had a chance to sit and binge watch so I’m slowly travelling through the new series.

Noticing: time flying past so quickly. Soon it will be Christmas!

Knowing: that I could totally do with a nap right now.

Thinking: about driving back to Liverpool tomorrow.

Admiring: people who reach their goals.

Sorting: out the flat, trying to clear out some clutter.

Buying: new jeans and I really want some dungarees.

Getting: stronger.I lift weights now don’t you know!

Bookmarking: motivational posts.

Disliking: my rubbish willpower.

Opening: the windows because it’s been quite warm.

Giggling: at more things now I’m less stressed.

Feeling: pretty good about stuff.

Snacking: on popcorn, I love sweet and salty popcorn.

Coveting: a dreamy office space.

Wishing: that I could make things happen quicker than they are.

Hearing: all of the 90s boy bands after Kat’s East 17 themed party.

I do intend to write a bit more about starting Cross Fit and about Kat’s party so I’ll try to get them up soon. Let’s have you July.

Kisses,

lojo

    My willpower is rubbish too! I KNEW I shoudldn’t go into town after work and then 2 bras, one skirt, one dress and 3 tops later, there I was with my willpower trampled on the pavement! OOOh, where is your holiday to!? We’ve done NOTHING about ours yet although we are going to my inlaws in the north for a few days and also going to music camp!
    I hear ya re the popcorn. There is a new Lidl oppposite my work and I bought a massive bag of the sweet and salty one and have scoffed all day!x
