Oh My Gosh!
I feel like its been forever since I posted. Things have been busy with me.
Working full time and studying part time is hard maintaining your creative loves especially since I have just started working out again.
Back at the gym and I am working out to the point of nausea apparently that's the way to go.
I'm on a dating site and so far I have zero dates. Yep that's right no takers for this young lady.
If you could ever have anything in the world magnify your insecurities then that would be online dating. I'm getting rid off it once my access runs out.
It would be nice to meet someone the old fashioned way, but to be honest I don't know what the old fashioned way is.
I should have been born in the 1950-1960's when men wore suits even the gangsters wore suits none of this pants under the butt shit we see everywhere, or guys that wear skinny jeans or gf jeans what is that seriously.
Why can't men and women be classy, and equal at the same time would the world be so fucking bad if that happened really.
Looks like I'm on a rant tonight so I'm going to stop it right there.

Clean & Kind Life style
Today's Date 17/03/2013
I have been pro-active with my goals since my last post, I have increased my water intake to 1.5 litres a day which has positively increase my concentration at work. I've switched out my diet to one that is more plant based with a weekly dose of fish. I've done my research and I'm well equipped and confident that I will get all my nutritional needs by the meals I will be making. All the food I will be eating is fresh and wholesome so its also very clean.
My decision to mainly eat a plant based diet is really based on loving my body and giving it really good fuel. As as suffer of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) My body responds really well when I don't eat processed foods, dairy products and meat. I don't get any abdominal cramping, gas or reflux and I tend to sleep better too. Then there are the environmental and ethical aspects of choosing to consume little to no animal products that just make sense to me and makes me feel happy.
What am I going to eat ????
What am I going to eat you mite say if your not going to eat any meat, dairy and eggs. Well there is many things I will be eating I'm a little excited about it to be honest so many things that I will be trying too.
Wholegrain, legumes, beans a staple for any one that's not eating meat or just wants to be healthier. Things like brown rice, chick peas, quinoa, cous cous, wholemeal pasta, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds. I will also be eating a lot of vegetables like dark leafy greens, broccoli, zucchini, eggplant, sweet potato, carrots, garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, capsicum, you get the picture. As well as some white flesh fish once a week, tofu occasionally and the odd quoin meat substitute if i want something similar to meat or chicken.
Where will I get my iron, protein and calcium from?
Well I am glad you asked. My protein iron and calcium needs will be gotten from the above foods, there are alot of grains, nuts and seeds that have alot of protein. Dark green leafy vegetables have lots of calcium as well as fortified soy milk and cereals.
What have I been eating lately?
Today for lunch I ate a green stir fry I guess is what you would call it. It was basically leek, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic,parsley, brown rice, sweet soy, green beans and sesame seeds.
Today I ate for dinner pasta al la Kitty. It was basically Hello Kitty Pasta (yes I'm that girl) garlic, parsley, zucchini, mushroom, herbs and a simple basil pasta sauce.

Weightloss - Accepting your Overweight
Today's Date 09/03/2013
Today I almost feel apart in a clothing store as I looked back at my reflection I was mortified by what I saw.
I am obese. BAM! When did this happen I know I'm overweight but I really didn't notice how much overweight I really was. When your overweight it affects your whole body from the amount of tissue your carrying to where the weight is positioned on your body. It affects your bones, muscles, skin, hair, your breath, your digestive system and even your mood and your organs.
Its much more that I need to lose weight, I really need to think about my body and what I can do to make it healthier and happier. What I can do to put it back in a natural sync as appose to where my body is at the moment.
My body is crying out to be healthy and for a long time now I have just given up but this year my doctor is concerned that I have POCS (google it) because my body has stopped having a period.
I really don't want that to be my reality especially because it can stop your from being able to have a family. I have never really thought about wanting to have a family, but I have know thus far I am in no way healthy enough to endeavor that path.
I thought about the things in life that I want to achieve this year and so far I am making a effort to
1. Save money
2. Be more challenged in my job by studying
3. Increase my ability to be challenged, increase memory, attention and problem solving by starting brain training through luminosity.
My next steps are to apply myself and get organised to lose the weight that is affecting my whole body and quality of life as I want to have a long life full of adventure not a short life full of regret.
I have to admit I did feel sorry for myself today, but I am proud by the fact that I did not cry.
Then I got angry at myself for putting myself in the position that I am in today. The biggest thing I have realised is that I have a addiction to food and I over consume food depending on my mood or to be frank just because. Now I have to make a decision do I want to be healthy, have nice skin and a normal digestive and reproductive system not to mention a better more balanced mood or do I want to stay the way I am and be constantly wishing for a change.
Well contray to popular belief you can't wish yourself anything. You can't snap your fingers and be at your goal weight. Nor can you live on diet shakes or pills either.
My goal this year is to lose the unhealthy weight this is affecting my body and making feel and look so disgusting and ill. My goal is for my body to function normally again, to have clear skin, soft shiny hair and a healthy body that is strong and toned.
I have no intentions on looking like someone who is not me or fitting in to a specific size of jeans. I just want to be the best version of me I can be and I want to be the healthiest me I can be too!
Watch this space my journey will be well document hear in my blog the good the bad and yes the ugly side of losing weight and gaining my life back.

Inspirational Wednesday
Today's Date 05/03/2013
Hello My Lovelies
I wake up Monday to Friday and I get up and get ready to go to work and think what's my day going to be like today. I sometimes even have a spring in my step thinking that I can make someones life a little easier. Lighten the work load and make a positive impact.
Then there are days when I wake up and I'm on autopilot and my day has morphed in to one blur, then I am exhausted and just ready to get home and I'm wanting it to be the weekend.
How familiar is this we always go in to our jobs with good intention and you can easily be dishearten or overwhelmed by the stresses and obstacles that life can throw at you.
These are not things that are likely to stop whether it be in your work, relationships or just life in general things come at you like BAM and you have to be ready.
How can you change the situation and turn things around so that you can tackle the unexpected chaos and challenges that fill our days.
Well its all about attitude, attitude, attitude!!!
Positive is definitely a word that you constantly hear all the time and its very true that a positive attitude is important.
But what I'm talking about is a proactive attitude.
Pro activeness has the essence of being positive but also the independence of saying I'm going to tackle anything that comes my way and I'm going to turn it around and make it work for me.
Every time you encounter an obstacle or challenge you are not going to instantly think, "how can I make this work for me" or "what can I do differently to get through this situation".
Its all about changing the way your think about and of how you see yourself in these situation and making a conscious effort to believe that you have the capacity and capability to take on and carry out tasks that need to be done.
Train your mind to believe and know you capabilities push yourself to uncomfortable limits and watch yourself transform from someone who sinks in the deep end so someone that's diving in and swimming laps.
Its definitely not going to happen overnight its a behaviour that needs to be learnt and a mindset that you need tell yourself over and over again until its as natural as breathing and even then its a matter of not becoming complacent but knowing when to push your boundaries that little bit further.

Fall/Winter Lust Have #2
Today's Date 03/03/2013
www.citychic.com.au
I have found myself scrolling through the City Chic website again. Once again I have found two new outfits that I'm lusting after.
I love these two peplum dresses they are just gorgeous and feminine. I love the purple color and bright belt it makes a change from plain black. I'm also in love with the black lace its just beautiful and adds something a little extra to a otherwise simple dress.

"A Smooth Sea, Never Made a Skilled Sailor." Author Unknown.
I really like this quote. Its kind of a metaphor for life.
I see it as the challenging and unknown situations in our life are what build our character without challenge we can never grow and never fully become in life the person we are meant to be.

Korres Wild Rose Lip Butter
Today's date 26/02/2013
I have been splurging a little lately on the Mecca Cosmetica Australian website and what I decided to splurge on may surprise you as not many people like to spend almost $20 Australian dollars on a lip butter.
I just had to try this one as I had herd many good things about it from many beauty blogger.
The lip product I decided to try was by Korres. Its their Wild Rose lip butter and I fell in love with this product from the get go.
The first thing you notice is the packaging very cute and quirky.
Then as you open it up you eyes first meet with a deep rouge rose colour and then a beautiful wild rose perfume fills your senses.
I applied this product with my pinkie finger its texture is so creamy and it transfers to the lip rather lovely leaving a hint of a tint behind giving your lips a fullness and sheen.
The feeling of this lip butter is heaven on dry lips as it makes them feel moisturised.
The only thing I didn't like about this product was that its in a pot and not a tube but I can get over applying it with my pinkie.
The price $18.95 it is a little steep but the product in my own opinion is well worth the price tag as I find it to be my most luxurious lip butter that I own and makes my lips feel so moisturised and kissable.
