Positive thoughts!

As part of my new list of things to do and attempt to achieve I wanted to stop feeling negative towards certain people. I am really struggling today!
There are some people in this world that just irritate the hell out of me. I find it almost impossible to even be in the same room as them let alone speak to them. Unfortunately these people are in my group of friends and I have to bite my tongue constantly.

I'm attempting to see positive things in them but it's just not happening at the moment!!

What to do???????

Celebrate good times C'mon!!!

I have lost a kilo and a half this week on my health kick! I am now happily well on my way to being healthy curvy woman as opposed to the podgy curvy woman I am now!!!!!!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

I feel good!

Well, these exercise nutters have definitely cottoned onto something. The initial buzz after exercise is fantastic. However, (you knew there would be a however didn't you?)the pain that one feels the next day is a little unfair I think. I have spent the day in agony after getting medieval with my Yoga this weekend.
I bought a little book and have been practicing my postures all weekend. I especially like the warrior poses where you get to stick your tongue out and make scarey faces in a very Hakka Maori war dance style. I am also a definite fan of pose of a child (kneeling head down) and corpse (flat on your back).
I's finding that Ramadan is absolutely flying though, it's only 19 days til I'm on holiday- madness!
Well they do say that time flies when your having fun.

Oh What a Beautiful Morning!!

I love Kuwait in the early mornings at this time of year. My friend and I were out cycling on the corniche at 7.30 this morning, it was stunning. Not too hot, blue sea, blue sky, fab view of the Kuwait Towers!!!
I am realy enjoying my fitness kick and have also started with the diet centre's boxes. It is so nice to feel well and full of energy. Who needs drugs, I'm positively bursting with endorphins at the moment.
I also sat down and wrote myself a life checklist of things I want to do this year and have stuck in on my fridge. It covers everything from exercise to travel and money but hopefully is achievable!!!
Too much fun!!!!!!!!!
Hope Ramadan is going well for everyone.
I have a song for today that everyone should go and listen to. It must be played at full voulume so you can jump around, dance, sing and enjoy!

All gone south!

I have spent the week making decisions and the biggest one is about my level of flab and lack of fitness. I am now in super dooper health kick mode in a desperate attempt to defy gravity for a bit longer (girls you will know what I mean). I don't want to be old before my time, I'm in my twenties and should be svelte, pert and partying! Not wrinkled, saggy, greying and bored. Damn it I just don't feel sexy at the mo!
I am attempting to do this the right way with lots of exercise and a healthy diet so we'll see how I do. I will of course keep you all posted on my ups and downs.

a soon to be svelte Pinky!

I feel like a lettuce!

Oh My God!!! This Ramadan business is killing me.
I know I am not fasting but I can't eat or drink at will and I am someone who lives with a bottle of water in my hand usually! Too Much hard!!! Because of it I am feeling like a lettuce of an evening, very limp and dehydrated.
I have major respect to all who fast. At this time of year it's almost 14 hours and is soo hot! Good on you!

Yoga in Kuwait

Question for all you bloggers. I used to be quite into Yoga in my first few years in Kuwait, not saying I was good but man it made me supple and I had a flat stomach for the first time ever! Does anyone know of a good place to do yoga in Kuwait, I like the type that does lots of different poses then has a nice long relaxation session at the end! Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks
Pinky

A new day!

I have decided that my life plan list needs to be augmented to include reduction in partying. I cannot hack the pace. I was up til 1ish last night partying on down having a good laugh and all day I have been feeling like sh@!t warmed up.
I'm enacting the healthiness part of the plan tomorrow!

Empowerment Part 2!

Well, thought I'd give you an update. For two weeks I have not initiated contact with the annoying man. He has called and texted sometimes repeatedly and I have politely declined his invitations. I'm really chuffed with myself and am quite happy in the notion that he will either pull his socks up and realise that he must treat me with a bit more respect or he wont in which case he wasn't worth it at all! I am happily busy with other things and am at the moment able to feed my latest addiction, relaxing, reading and fixing up my flat.
Well big up to all you empowered women out there. Go Girl Power!!!

Can't be done!

I was having a play on the internet today and came across an old poem that I was given a copy of when I was about 12. I really like it and have it on my wall at home cos it's got a really good message. Basically you can do anything you put your mind to!

I hope you all have a fab week!

Can’t be Done!

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't", but he wouldn't be one
Who would say so till he had tried.

So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin
If he was worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing,
That couldn't be done and he did it

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin
Just take off your coat and go to it.
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.

Thursday nights alright..

After years of getting used to Wednesday night being the start of the weekend and where the party's at Thursday worked out just fine! I can just about cope with the change as long as there is the potential to have fun and be silly on Thursdays, after a few hours of chatting and boogie ing to dodgy music I have decided I will survive!

Why is it not the weekend!!!!!

I have worked my backside off this week and no, it is not yet the weekend. It is cruel, I want to sleep in tomorrow!!! I liked Thursdays and Fridays off!! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
OK, rant over. Well, one day of work left till the weekend, better than a kick in the teeth I suppose. Is anyone else cheesed off with the change??? I'm sure come Saturday morning I'll think it's fab but right now it's just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must toughen my resolve and survive tomorrow but as the song goes
"First I was afraid, I was petrified"!
Must also toughen my resolve in other areas, the guy who I told I was annoyed with has been more attentive this week and I've tried to be cool and not leap at a missed call but it's bloody hard! I've just got to stick to my guns and not fold at the first sign of him sucking up to me. I can't stand it when people know how to tug your strings, I'm a nice person and as I've stated before I find it hard to say how I feel. In this case I am irritated by the behaviour but am finding it tough to stick to it cos of my emotional attachements! Again I say AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
Right, I quit, it may be 8pm but I'm off to bed! Good night to all!

Can someone turn the heat down please!!!

I have never previously understood the concept of dead on my feet but today I am a walking corpse. I firmly place the blame on the shoulders of the bloody weather. Can someone turn it down please. It's also killing me this constant in and out of ac, I've been in the country for three weeks and have a sore throat already, boooo!
