30 Day Snap #9 | Jogging in the Woodlands

I was feeling so terribly off yesterday. I felt as though procrastinating was boring. I felt as though I wanted to take out some of my stress, anxiety, whatever... the emotions that were wanting to burst out from me, with jogging. Even with feeling so drained, I just wanted to get out of the house and feel better. I knew that I would disappoint myself if I allowed myself to feel unhappy.

I made myself get all geared up for a jog. I went out to the nearby woods and had 'Coldplays' new album blasting in my ears. Just when I knew I was alone I ran like a wild lunatic through the little path ways, as though I was running away from someone. There were times when I would glance behind me to see whether I was being followed... scary, I know!

I felt so exhilarated out there. The traffic could still be heard, but I eliminated it's horrific noises with music and the sound of my own heart thumping. Regretfully, I could have chosen a better day to go jogging. There was some rays of sunlight to be seen, but it was such a stuffy, claustrophobic day, making it harder to breath when racing through the trees.

I used to at one time in my life take my anger out on my brother, yes I was a terrible sister, you don't know how I regret it now. But now he's bigger than me, so he's usually the one bugging me. Fair enough. I had such anger management issues a few years back and having jogging now in my life really has made such a difference in my life. The pain I feel from jogging, with breathing, is something I can control. I like to know I can control pain. Having it as well, is just a way of letting go. It's a great stress relief!

How do you like to let go of your emotions... nothing so dirty now! But when you feel as though you need to unwind yourself, what does it for you?

Lots of luvin',

Thankful Thursday

This week was divided between time spent in Ireland and England. The half-term break was lovely. I got to spend time with my Family. Even my bed, which is like sleeping on the floor was comfortable to me.

Since it was Halloween, I assumed that I'd be watching scary movies but no, me and my Brother decided to watch comedy. We started off with 'Monster University' and 'This Is The End'.

I got my brother addicted to the Box-set, Season 1-3 of 'Downton Abbey'... "I KNEW YOU'D LIKE IT!"

Then after having so much candy in Ireland, I got back to London, getting my routine sorted.

I've even started a Fitness Diary (which will become a new post that I'll regularly do). So I've been pushing myself to do better with putting a stop to dairy, bread (I love bread, which sounds strange I know!) and I don't know how long this will last but a stop to chocolate, well it's a break. I'll treat myself from time to time.

I've also found a new love this week from 'Starbucks', it's of course a x-mas special, Gingerbread Latte... tres delicieux. It's even out past the Caramel Macchiato, saying a lot. And the Christmasy coffee cups... Ooooh, pretty!

-Oyster Card.

-Haagan Dazs Vanilla Ice-cream on Halloween night.

-Fireworks on Bonfire night in London.

Wah hey, that's all folks... I miss them cartoons so much.

I have been feeling so stressed since being back in London. Assignments, Essays and Presentations. Along with making decisions on what University's to go to... seriously so hard! Then there's the time to fit in exercise.

Let's hope this week won't be as hectic as this one.

Let me know what the highlights were of your week :) I'd be interested to know.

Love you all loads,

30 Day Snap #25 | Cookies & Frisbee

Hey lads and lassies, only a few more days left to this snap challenge... awwww :(

So today was an absolute gorgeous day, the sun shining all day :)

And me and my friends had to a great day out, walking (gotta keep up with my exercise, ya know, tres important), relaxing looking out at a pond, and in the evening, we went to a little bar\restaurant and I helped myself to some cookie dough ice-cream on a humungous cookie... Delicious :D

The bar was called the 'Battle Axes', and it was a pretty building, settled out in Elstree. We ate outside in the sunshine and then continues on to playing frisbee. I had forgotten how much fun frisbee was. I had so many of them up on the roof of my grandmothers house as a child.

So the day included fun and exercise, things I've been hoping to have this Summer.

Anyway let me know what you've been up to, I'll try to read as many blogs tomorrow, hopefully I'll be having a quite day.

30 Day Snap #11 | Out Strolling

Hi everyone!

 Well todays picture is just of me out walking before. I love going for strolls with my iPod. It's perfect for just thinking. Music is just great for whatever mood you may be in. Today I was in a calm mood, listening to 'Birdy' and 'Christina Perri', it's difficult though to be careful while walking, especially with being on the main road. So a little advice, try not dancing to Michael Jackson when walking, otherwise you'll be doing the moonwalk towards a truck.

I spent most of the day chatting to my Best Pal before her big trip to Luxembourg, so cool and I think I may have had 7 cups of tea today... Oopsie :) Well what can i say, I love muh tea!

Does anyone dance while they're walking, if so, I love it :D Heehee!
