January 2011

I'm feeling annoyed today.  It's weird because I don't have a reason to.  I submitted an assignment today, I had an ok day in work, a colleague who I hate (and will henceforth be known in this blog as TB as he has a really annoying persistent cough and refuses to  cover his mouth)  took a half day so we all got a bit of extra time away from him.  I went for a swim after work and watched an episode of Grey's anatomy.  I've only just started to get into it, but am already getting into it.  I've always loved Patrick Dempsey since the first time I saw 'Can't buy me love' he was just so cute, and now he's just McDreamy.  So getting back to my initial point, I'm sad this evening and I can't understand why.

I'm hoping that by writing this I can acknowledge the fact that I'm sad and annoyed, deal with it and get over it.

So now to the more important things:

1- I set this blog up in June 2009 and have never made a single post on it, this changes now.  I'm not going to set a number of entries I intend on doing because I know I'm going to be very busy over the next few months, but I do hope to update at least once a month.

2-  I have lost 78lbs since March 2010 and I intend to keep going.  Now I'm not one of those girls who always talks about needing to lose weight but doesn't need to, I need to.  I am doing it sensibly and the weight is coming of steadily.  I actually enjoy going to the pool and my bums and tums/ circuit training classes, I don't really enjoy the gym yet, but I think it's just about finding my stride.  I tried a spinning class, Jesus I nearly died!  I'll not be trying that again until I'm much fitter.

3- I really want to organise an event for charity, it'll have to wait until I get my degree finished in May, but I would love to raise money for my chosen charity FSID in memory of my beautiful little Caolan.  I'm thinking maybe I'd like to do a marathon next year, but maybe this year I could try and do a sponsored swim.  I can swim about 1000m in 30mins at the minute, it's not very fast but I could maybe aim for 2500m.   I think if I kept going I could really raise some money for a really good cause.
