Gleeful

I am wicked happy,

Lots of very happy,

*insert cheesy smile*

My face though :-)

 This month has all makings of being fantastic. Its safe to say am at the best peak of my journey, Self actualization. Probably in my post awkward girl phase :-). I figure the timing might be off but am sort of loving the fun but not so much the pain.

The countdown to my first marathon began with an intense gym workout, the kind that you wake up the next morning feeling disastrously sore. I was afraid I wouldn't make it out of the house for days but a very very long hot bath soothed me just right. In high school I'd sign up for this kinda stuff for the free glucose, I would've never gone through with it for free, But I didn't  finished not even a single race. My mum thinks running is torture, I'd probably believe if it were an year ago but what do I know I've only been doing this 1 or so months and I hear your supposed to do a couple of years before you can speak.   

My ribs hurt so badly after that laugh :-(

There many things we do in life that makes us happy (ice-cream), others more than just happy. Its not everyday you get to do something that makes you more than just happy with an added bonus of helping the society. So I'm officially major excited to be doing this.

The day I first went on board was horrible. I set off that day with that one song I couldn't get out of my head the whole week. It turned out there plenty of morning runners which came as a rude shock, on the other hand it was a good relief. After minutes of small pace jogs (because my friends always say I run funnily *sneers*) I had reached my limit and was feeling sickly. I had to sit down and almost throw up. I had to learn the most valuable lesson yet the hard way .You can not run on an empty stomach. By the time I got home my mind was made up that it wasn't meant for me.

Foodie :-)

All gone

Apparently there is weight gain in keeping fit (hard earned gym muscle). I try not to weigh myself ..... Rewind an year plus back, I'm at a hospital and my sister is taking too long. A nurse approaches me and whether she could conduct a couple of health tests, my reaction, "yeah okay, whatever! I couldn't believe my weight after all the walking, swimming and cutting back on food .... anyway she explained that my bones were healthy, at least that's what I gathered. I vowed never to measure but come in gym trainer with stern face I had to obey.

Heaven alright!

It makes me sad that I always said I would join a dance class in vain. Though am not the dancing type, I recently realized that its such a perfect workout. I laugh about it now thinking about it, some of those moves I had to do were so hilarious I thought we were auditioning for dirty dancing. So my next project is to get my self  in a dance class. In my defense for all those 20 something years without dancing, rock music!

Each day am figuring myself out the more, I haven't looked and felt as fit as I do now in uh, oh three years, yikes! Well, its been a long time coming. Change - good change is coming and I am falling in love with it by the day.

I love that I take walks with my mum on weekends. I love how she makes me laugh, how she knows me too well. I love that am not a quiet daughter and that she always loves me.
I love sweaty hugs, and love hugs too. I love that a hug allows you to hear someone breath and touch them. More so feel their heart beating.
I love a good Run. I love how the wind blows against you, love how people stare at you some even say hello. I love that my whole body is heated up and craving for an ice bath. I love seeing the distance, how far away my two feet can take me.
I love early mornings, the Sun, the chirping birds, the break of dawn. I love clean, fresh air. I love a new day, new possibilities, new challenges, new drive. They say even the darkest nights will end and the sun will rise.
I love the Moon, Oh how I love the moon. I could stare at it all night. Looking at it puts me in a good mood, its exciting for no cause and makes me smile.
I love coffee, coffee everyday!
I love books. Book Loving is one of my favorite hobby. I love how everyone complains that am drawn away because am too lost in a book. I love how some books endings leave the characters lives going on in your mind.
I love my friends, new friends, old long time ones, the ones I hope to meet, the ones we have fallen off. There is never any that I don't appreciate. Always and forever.
I love a glass of wine, any day.

I love nuts too

From a Happy place .....
