today is very fresh, you know when the sun is bright but the air is cool.
makes me feel great!
I went shopping in Zara yesterday and bought a new spring work wardrobe. lots of fresh cream, light grey, lemon, cute detailing. very spring like.
the only annoying thing is I hate my legs. they look awful in trouses and even worse naked, so i live in black tights all year round.
so the most important thing is losing that weight! eugh!
Im obssessed with calorie counter. its amazing. been on it since friday and today I am one pound lighter than I was then.
Hmmmmm
I think its down to the power of thinking thinner . . . not so much the diet, as I did have a fair old bit of booze this weekend.
conclusion
FRESH FEELINGS
SPRING IN STEP AND IN AIR
MUST LOSE WEIGHT
2 DAYS TILL NEW JOB - YAY!

New Chapters
Last week...Slug went to job interview. Slug got the job.
Slug did good!
Still sluggish though, cos come on, job hunting doesnt take much effort, i just laid in bed and looked online until I found a good one.
bought a cute floral dress and ironed a blazer.
did a big sluggy smile : D
job. in. bag.
and you know what they say... a change is as good as a rest.
so Im hoping this new job (although it will be way more challenging/harder than my current one) will revitalise me and make me more energetic.
Today I also joined calorie counter. its really simple and easy to see exactly what your putting in to your body, what you need, what you have too much of etc.
I feel like Ive eaten well today
Breakfast - 2 slices of toast & coffee
Snack - small bag of fruit and nuts (from graze.com)
lunch - 2 slices of soy and linseed bread and tomato and lentil soup
YET i am ALREADY over 1000 calories down!
only 200 more allowed today
WTF?
so yeah, calorie counter is really simple and not really a ''diet'' but it does actually make you think.
apparently i am also lacking in iron, fiber and calcium
jeez.
food is hard.
work leaving drinks are looming. thats another 1000 calories on booze.
Its supposed to be good weather tomorrow though, so I may drag my boyfriend out for a long walk.
so... conclusion
NEW JOB
NEW WAY OF EATING
SUNSHINE TOMORROW

Oh dear.
I have not done very well today.
yesterday went well. I got my spray tan done - amazing.
work drinks - i.e. 5 pints in 3 hours followed by a sleepless night vomitting (EUGH)
and today I havent got out of bed yet, its now 6.42pm.
JESUS!
lethagy has never been higher.
ive thought about shopping, buying food, getting some good coffee, doing some washing, washing myself, exercising... but they stayed as just that. ideas.
what is wrong with me?! i should be able to function on a hangover after all my experience!
i have decided to go out tonight - its a friends house party who happens to live on my street. perfect!
so i have just enough motivation to get up, wash and get ready.
thai take away is on its way.
will not tell friends about my day today.
how awful is bridezilla?? i think i watched about 5 hours of that today..
must get up now.
tomorrow I must do at least 3 of the above.
1) exercise
2) washing
3) shop (need outfit for job interview monday woop woop woop!!!!)

today is the first day of the rest of your slug
So... the alarm thing went terribly.
it went off at 7.15. and i was so tired I actually turned it off (rather than on snooze) and slept until 8.15.
At which point one of my housemates had just switched the shower on.
she came out the shower.
I ran, in slow motion, as I am a slug, desperately towards the bedroom door clutching my towel and toothbrush (I keep this in my bedroom because of germs)
and then my other housemate went in.
so early alarm = late for work, due to late shower.
FAIL. SLUG.
HOWEVER I will try again tomorrow! maybe I will press snooze this time!
other non-sluggy good things I have done today:
1)Took my full 1 hour lunch break and walked around a gloriously sunny notting hill feeling happy and getting some much needed exercise
2) Called my Grandmother, who really is lovely, and loves hearing from me. calling family is great therapy it really is. you feel good, they feel good, they promise you pocket money for good exam results... (yes I do exams STILL even though Im ancient)
3) I booked a spray tan for 25 quid, come friday lunch time i will no longer be a pale slug, I'll be a brown slug!
4) I intend to cook a V healthy dinner for me and my boyfriend tonight, i will source out a recipe now, and I will not be mean to him. no.
later slugs

step one
the first tiny change I have decided to make in my tiny sluggy life is to set my alarm half an hour earlier than normal (so it is now 7.15am) this is a big deal for me.
as you can imagine i LIKE my sleep ALOT.
but i have said it. and so have done it.
i wonder what tomorrow will bring.
p.s. i wonder if anyone will read this, especially any other slugs.

Intro!
I have decided that I am very sluggish, is this a new thing? Im not so sure.
but i am bored.
bored of lacking in energy, motivation, enthusiasm, and bored of sitting around on my bed, eating on my bed, watching tv on my bed... you get the drift.
I hereby declare that this slug is outta here. I will be a slug no more!
I will, from this day on, take at least one positive step per day, to being less sluggy!
I hope that this one small promise to myself will:
make my life better.
I will let you know
