I am being completely dishonest with myself. I think I'm being active, but when in fact I haven't seen the inside of the gym for weeks. When I can't control myself with food, I just blame it on Christmas, when it's no different the rest of the year.
Last summer and a year back I had a healthy lifestyle. I was running, lifting, cycling and hiking. It felt wonderful increasing my stamina, being able to lift heavier and to realice I was getting stronger - and leaner. It sort of brought along a healthy eating habit as well.
I have been moving around a lot this past 6 months. That's not the single reason why I haven't been doing well. I am also a complete disiplin free person.
I don't know if any you remember me saying something about a trip to a dairy farm a while back. I enjoyed it so much that I asked if I could be an apprentice there around Christmas. At first I was really scared of the big animals, but now I see them as big cats (that you don't want stepping on your feet).
It's Christmas now and it's supposed to be a holiday season filled with love, friendships and family. I'm still pretty young so I'm going to spend it with my parents (my father and my step mom). Unfortunately my family is not ... no, my mother is not among the calm people of this world. She can make every moment, every second of the day a living hell. And that's what she usually do.
Anyway! To stay on topic, I know that there will be two nice dinners on Christmas eve (no use in making it a cheat day, since it usually ends in stomach cramps), one on Christmas day, two or three on New Years Eve and most likely some booze in between (I wasn't kidding about my mother). I'll keep these as planned cheat meals.
I'm not a fan of winter but I'll try to get out for a walk each day.
When schools starts after New Year I'll try to walk to school. It's only thirty minutes and no hills. It has been rainy since autumn and it really puts me off walking, so does the temperature right now.
I have no idea about cooking, so I guess I'll try to find some recipes to make everything a little more exciting.
I'm a kind of light-vegetarian. I don't usually eat meat, and I love animals - all my life, and meat is kind of hard to prepare. Knowing (I just found out) that my one rolemodel in life doesn't eat meat unless somebody else puts it on his plate or if it's the only thing around to eat, makes it feel not worth changing, or forceing down.
I tend to put things off till I'm forced to do something about it. Goes for fitness too. Everything I write is in Spanish, and I'm doing my very best to learn this beautiful language (and it will look good on a future job application). I also have my hands full studying Sign Language. It should be obligatory in school.
Lately I have been reading Dominic O'Brien's book about memorizing. It's fantastic to expand your memory as well. I never thought I'd be addicted to cross word puzzles, I'm more of a comics is all I read and sports and adventure is all that counts type, but here I am.
