Lent

Feb 07, 2008 - 09:48 AM PST

So, despite not being religious (not anti either, but anyway..) I have decided to use Lent as a reason to cut down on eating too many sweet things, esp choc and generally eating too many things... I'm not good at such things and Ive never done a diet, I think of it more as a personal challenge, a test of my very weak will power... (just had a very small break then to sort out the things i had brought today...) So not going to eat chocolate until easter, and going to try and eat less in the evenings... (that is when i have had a big lunch in the kindergruppe...) if i have not had much to eat at lunch then i will later... apart from chocolate will try and avoid other sweet things... but dont mind if i eat one thing in the afternoon for example... lets see anyway... i think what would be better would be for me to get some exercise, which is what i am really lacking in...

Well have been busy all week mostly babysitting, and well first free whole afternoon/evening. I decided to walk through vienna's city centre... as i often do... was nice, but did buy one thing... related to the exercise thing... bought a running jacket which was quite cheap... ok i am not running at the moment... but last year did a bit with my friend here for the first time in my life... more of a slow job through the prater, and was really nice... felt really great after... tired yet so energetic... was a good feeling as i had always thought no way would i like jogging... but am planning ahead and unless i buy some running shoes here (would also need insoles for my 2cm leg difference... only started wearing insoles a year ago...) wont do so til i get back to London...

Anyway, this is not exactly profound what I am writing, but it is my day and my thoughts... With the kids in the Kindergruppe was fine today and had a good feeling when leaving... (have that fairly often with this work, but still have ups and downs...) Also a met a friend after work after buying the jacket... then bought some stuff from the health shop including some biscuits and then got some tea... both for my give away of stuff on sunday...

Have been thinking positive things about London again... thinking out some aspects in my mind... one being an image of me jogging around with a smile on my face and saying hi to other joggers as in a film, and the other of me preparing healthy food to eat a warm lunch at my possible new work... (here i get it for me as the parents cook for every lunch...)

just had to run and check the heating as heard a weird noise again... bit paranoid as a plumber/electrician has still not been (theres another sound) to see it yet... its basically working, but keeping an eye on the pressure and the drips... will maybe turn it off in a min for a break.... bye for now...
