i think it's come to the point where i say goodbye to tumblr. it's been so great getting to know a lot of you. i'm in awe of how dedicated, amazing and truly inspiring you all are! i've definitely made some friends for life on here and i'm so glad that i've gotten to meet so many of you! i probably won't delete my tumblr because there are just too many memories on here that i don't want to lose. i'll check in on you every so often, but i won't be posting any more. for those i have on facebook and instagram, i shall still be around on there, so don't be a stranger and hit me up any time you want thank you all for the wonderful friendships, inspiring words and just general support in not only my weight loss journey, but my life as well! ❤️

• thursday 19 february 2015 * 🍴 as pictured. plus chicken salad for lunch. a lindt ball. coconut water. plus entrees not pictured for dinner. 🏃 25 treadmill intervals. 1hr kickboxing 👣 24,917 at 10:24pm 💭 happy 35th birthday to my brother and 21st birthday to my sister today. we went out for dinner. and had that amazing feast. what isn't pictured is the $50 amount of entrees we ate before that. to say i'm stuffed is an understatement. stayed at boyfie's last night and was having terrible nightmares. i would awaken to boyfie's arms wrapping around me even tighter. it was very comforting. i used a piece of gym equipment for the first time in what feels like forever. went straight to the gym after work as i didn't have time for a class cos of dinner. dinner got postponed by 30 mins. rushed home, grabbed my boxing gear. boxed. it was tough. i really want to get back into running. i felt the fittest when i ran. all i do now is boxing pretty much. and i'm great at it. but i don't feel that same sort of fit i felt when running. it's chinese new year today. came home briefly this morning before work to find $200 for me from the parentals. thank you very much! yoghurt, granola and fruit breakfasts are tasty but make me super bloaty and i do not like this as i love delicious breakfasts

they are discussing on the radio right now whether people wear undies to the gym or not.

80% of callers do not wear undies to the gym.

i didn’t know that not wearing undies was a thing. like, how even?

[linna-pee]

i'm glad there are people who are just as disturbed about this as i am. seamless undies exist for a reason. also, i'm glad if people at the gym can see lines from undies, i now want people to know that i do indeed wear undies to the gym.

🍴 as pictured. and pink lady and coconut oats with fresh banana and blueberrries. diced mango in coconut water and juice.

🏃 1hr kickboxing.

💭 we had pancakes for morning tea for pancake day today. it took all my might, but i only had one of these delicious things. it helped that i spent my time decorating mine for photo purposes.

last minute decision to do kickboxing after my usual partner asked if i was free tonight.

my usual gym routine is now:

monday morning kickboxing

monday night boxing.

wednesday morning kickboxing.

friday morning grit strength.

saturday morning kickboxing.

it’s less than i am used to, but i think it’ll be good for me. i need to focus on being able eat well even on non-gym days. i slack off on days that i’m not at the gym.

i also want to get back into running. i’ve said that for the last month, but i just can’t bring myself to do it. maybe, i’ll attempt one short run once a week either tuesdays or thursdays.

boyfie has a meeting to attend tomorrow night so no dinner with him (which will probably be a good thing, seeing as we always go out to eat), but i’ll see him afterwards.

i have also been planning a bunch of social things with friends lately, and that’s nice! bad for my wallet, but nice for me.

💭 only 1hr of boxing today. boyfie last night suggested a sleep in this morning. and he was right. i really needed it.

went for a walk around port adelaide this morning while boyfie got ready for work.

it’s a new week and i plan on forgetting everything that happened yesterday. boyfie sent me this message this morning which put a smile on my face

Firstly you aren’t fat, you’re just not skinny. And secondly the things I love about you have nothing to do with how you look. You’re a kind, sweet and loving person who is surrounded by people who love you because that is what they see. You are worth far more than just your appearance. (Either way I still think you’re beautiful and I’m smart as hell, so I’m definitely right).

my ankle has been feeling normal again, so i tried light kicks tonight and it felt fine. so i tried hard kicks and now it’s a bit sore where i rolled it. my bad.

i am determined to just get back to my usual fun, happy self and just get on with it.

• sunday 15 february 2015 • 🍴 3/4 box of ferrero rochers. hj's bbq cheeseburger. 2 slices of pizza and garlic bread. orange juice. toasted coconut and raspberry weis bar. cider. 🏃 nope. 👣 16,000 on the dot. 💭 feeling like crap most of yesterday. i sent boyfie a message at the time i was supposed to be at his house telling him i didn't feel like going out. he said okay. but then sent me another message an hour later asking if something was up. because i didn't want to stay over on saturday night and i didn't want to see him yesterday, he thought he had done something to upset me. he ended telling me to come over anyway and we didn't have to go out and that he'd order some food so it'd be ready when i got there. we just watched movies all night and he just held me all night, stroking my hair until i felt better. then we went for a long walk as i was being super lazy all day and had only done 2,000 steps prior to seeing him. he's sent me a super lovely message this morning and i'm feeling a lot better. thank you to you guys who sent me such nice messages. i love you all 💜

today is just miserable and it can just fuck off. i'm sad and i'm crying and i don't understand why.

• saturday 14 february 2015 • 🍴 carribean green boost juice. pasta sauce without the pasta. strawberry soda. sushi. chilli and mango prawns with cous cous. wine. a shitload of ferrero rochers. 🏃 1hr cardio kickbox 👣 26,706 💭 not a whole lot happened yesterday. gym in the morning, went shopping in the arvo and dinner with boyfie last night. he took me to a nice restaurant in the hills and then we went for a walk and then watched the sun set. i came home after dinner cos i was just feeling tired. but we have plans today to do something and then watch some ice hockey, which i am thrilled about cos it means i'll be out of the heat and in a giant frozen arena. the best.

[linna-pee]

boyfie told me he couldn't have a late dinner last night cos he had some stuff to do. this was what he was doing. such a sweet idea. but i'm happy with just having dinner. this weather has made me incredibly lethagic today.

• friday 13 february 2015 • 🍴 wholemeal toast with butter and jam. coconut cream tim tams. strawberry wafer biscuits. 2 minute noodles. nectarine. garlic bread. share plate of food (as pictured). cider. 🏃 nada. 👣 19,387 at 9:11pm 💭 verrrry slow day at work today. i ended up sleeping in this morning until 7am (which is late for me!) so no time for a walk before work. steps were dismal and work was quiet so i spent my afternoon walking around the office doing absolutely nothing. ankle is feeling much better. will be doing kickbox tomorrow morning. may substitute all left leg action for doubles on the right, though. boyfie and i went out for a quick dinner in the city. i had to meet random internet person to sell my soundwave ticket to tonight so boyfie came with me. and i am now $180 richer. woohoo. i gave boyfie one part of his present (jimeoin tickets) and he loved it. and i'm happy he does. it honestly makes me happy when he is. especially when he's been feeling stressed about some things and worries about it all the time.

[linna-pee]

'it's such a stupid holiday' 'every day should be valentine's day' 'it's so overrated' blah blah blah. yeah. whatever. i spoil boyfie every time i see him. and i love doing it. so what that this one day of the year, i want to spoil him even more? put some more effort into it? if you don't want to celebrate it, fine. that's your choice. stop bitching about it. i'm sure there is some day/holiday that you celebrate and talk about that no one cares about too. everyone just has to bitch and moan about something, all the time! annnnnyway! going out for dins tonight. then getting some moolah in exchange for my soundwave ticket. winner winner, chicken dinner!

[linna-pee]

it's going to be 41 degrees in adelaide tomorrow. nope. nope nope nope.

• thursday 12 february 2015 • 🍴 wholemeal muffins with margarine and raspberry jam. coconut cream tim tam. viet roll. sugar donuts. not sure what's for dinner. 🏃 none. 👣 18,058 at 3:16pm 💭 alarm went off too soon this morning. i had a pretty awesome sleep though. didn't wake up once throughout the night. it was glorious. went for a walk this morning. ankle is holding up okay. still contemplating whether to do grit (modified) tomorrow morning or not. managed to sell my soundwave ticket! WOO-FRIGGEN-HOO! it has been a nightmare trying to get rid of it for a decent price. boyfie will officially be moving in with his sister in a month. his housemate has advertised the spare room on facebook. hello long drives and double the money spent on petrol! 😩 no photo today. cos lazy. and didn't take any. of anything.

[linna-pee]

last night, it came up in conversation that boyfie wanted to see jimeoin while he's at the fringe. and being the wonderful girlfriend i am, i just bought us tickets to go see him in a few weeks. yeah, i'm pretty awesome!
