A great day -- Tuesday April 19

04.18.05 (12:45 pm) [edit]

Yesterday could've been really crap. I had to get up reeeeally early and then work on my yukko assignment once I got home from work... not the best framework for a brilliant day.

But I woke up feeling many kilos lighter, all because of my dance class on Sunday night. I love it soooo much! It's one of the best things I've ever done and I'm so proud of myself for having the courage to get out there and do it! :) I come out of those classes and almost skip to my car... it's brilliant. Fantastic. You should all do it! LOL. (Hey seriously, if any Melbournites want to join me... :wink:) I can't wait till this semester's over so I can do two classes a week.

Ate brekkie in front of my computer as usual... read the comments on my Plodding plodding post... and was totally blown away from the support you girls gave me. Thank you to each and every one of you... I've already started to put some of your ideas into action. You're all brilliant!

Then I got to work and went to the bathroom, and a girl from another department came in and told me I looked pretty and pink is my colour... woweee! Nothin like a spur-of-the-moment comment from an almost-stranger to make your day. I'm starting to remember what it feels like to receive compliments all the time... when I was halfway to goal a few years ago it was truly what spurred me on. Think I might have to write them all down this time so I don't forget them!

At lunch time my day was made yet again when I discovered my fave low-fat mea on the lunch menu at work's cafe... carrot and lentil dahl.. *drooling*

Then when I got home, I found an email from a girl I know through one of the scrapbooking sites I visit... she said she wanted to write to say thankyou because my weight loss scrap layouts have inspired her enough to get her out walking every day... WOW! I inspired someone?! Seems totally bizarre. Feels really good nontheless.

Later in the night I received my 'starter pack' for Healthy Body Club... omg I am pumped already! AJ is such an inspiration. I get started next Monday and I just can't wait.

Hope today is half as good! :D

ps. For the person who asked where that swimsuit I posted awhile ago came from... I found it at Swimwear Galore :D
