January 31st, 2009

This year started quite eventful. I had a good New Year’s Eve among neighbors, lots of tasty food and a bottle of wine just for myself. I watched good movies, including Once – a screen motion that realized me life is precious no matter who you are or what you have. You can be successful and make your dreams come true by meeting a total stranger on a street. I recommend this movie with all my heart.

I’ve always loved New Year’s Eve not only because I get a chance to spend it with great people, but I always sum the past year up to see how well my life went. To my surprise each year is better and better from the previous one.

I picked up my driving license on the 9th. I’m really happy to be finally a legal driver. It’s not gonna be easy at the beginning, because we’ve got only one car – a different one from what I used to drive, and the season isn’t amazingly good for a newbie on road. Oh well, I gotta learn once again. I think time comes when it’s a bit warmer.

Some time before becoming a driver, on the 5th, I started my diet. I decided to change something in my life, think more positive (which is not that easy for a pessimistic person) and learn new things concerning my hobbies. By now I’ve lost four pounds and I’m really going positive about it. It means I’m slowly moving forward and I’m gonna continue that for about two more months, at least.

The 12th January was a day of upcoming midterms at the University. I was quite scared due to me being a newbie there. I wanted to pass them all with all my heart. At once there were these dark thoughts of me failing and finding a job and perhaps trying once again in October… Well, I gave it up and thought more of actual exams than what could happen at a pinch.

My first week wasn’t that hard. I passed two easy exams, but then had to focus on a hard one. My second week was a week of one test – I passed it, even though math is the hardest among other subjects this year. The test I passed let me write the exam on the 3rd February – which will be even harder than the test. One good thing happened, though – there was this second bad subject I was afraid of. To my greatest surprise I passed the test and I’m freed-up from exam! A miracle happened! :D So, wish me luck on my last exam. I already know I’m going to retake it.

Generally, this month was good. A year started with a lot of changes, including a better mood about my life. I don’t think it can be so bad anymore. What’s more, January will end with a brilliant movie on TV – Brokeback Mountain.

I’m over six exams already and it feels kind of good. I’m still in front of huge ones which are four actually. There is also a four-hour training in front of me due on Friday 30th, 4pm-8pm. It’s gonna be a waste of time. The previous week was the last of the first term, so you can say I did it! I can’t believe it’s over. Time really passes fast.

I weighted right two weeks after I started my diet – on the 18th. I lost 3 pounds! It’s a good start. I sometimes feel hunger in the evening, but then I tell myself “I would feel bad if I ate anything, so why even think about it?” and so I go on with other things. It’s not really that tragic. As I said – you get used to it. I also try to exercise, even though it’s not that often. I do it only weekends, because that’s when I’m not exhausted. I guess while I’m on a break from college (except for exam days) I will do it more often.

I’ve been recently quiet busy in a positive way. I’m happy of having so much things to do I really enjoy doing at all! But all in all it’s just a lot and I sometimes feel a lack of time. Well, I’m taking care of the website – new layout is just here. I never felt comfortable with the previous one anymore, because of the first loss. I’m also awkwardly trying to make stuff for my studio, and I got admitted some time ago as an editor at some polish website treating about supernatural stuff. Moreover, I’m studying, getting along with friends and doing few other stuff on comp.

My life has been more or less chaotic. Hopefully my next blog note will be much more clean and organized.

Another weekend and more job to do. Starting Tuesday, midterms are coming! I’m scared. It’s way different from High School. There is much more information to memorize and also tests aren’t that easy. I try not to worry about this much, because it’s just the first term – just a college, and not something serious like a health problem. Disease is unplanned and sudden, you can’t control it. I can always try again at the University in October.

Still, I tend to emphasize each stressful situation even though I don’t want to. You have no idea how much it annoys me at times.

In other news, I weighted last week. 130?! WTF?! I’m not going to let that happen. I’m on a diet since Sunday. Wish me luck. I hope to look better within three months. Oh, I better do. I don’t want to be what I used to be years ago. My aim to achieve: at least 120. I know I can do that. It’s what I used to be before my current weight.

It’s hard at the beginning, especially the first two weeks, but then you get used to it. You limit your meals, no sugar components (including all sweets), no dinners and as a bonus: bringing healthy food into consumption. That’s all it is about for me. Also, exercise, exercise, exercise! At least once a day. Keeping body in shape and burning the calories I gain during a day is good for health. You’re getting extra air in your blood circulation!

What are your ways of losing weight?
