Naturally ..

So I appear to be having this natural, subconscious change in diet.
I'm hungry, and usually if I'm hungry I'll crave bread or biscuits or other generally pretty unhealthy foods. Except now I'm not. I'm craving salads and fruits and the thought of bread or cheese just makes me want to hurl.
Obviously this is a good thing, and I'm not really complaining, aside from the fact that I don't have any healthy foods in at the moment, (on account of a severe lack of cash) but I just find it quite bizarre that my body is actually helping me with the changes that I'm planning on making.
It kind of proves to me, that it is simply a case of mind over matter, and that I can do this again. And that I can do this easily.
Maybe this time I'll actually reach my goal.
Saying that, I haven't set one. That'll be today's plan then.

New year, new st ... oh wait

Well hi there, and how are we?

Me? How very kind of you to ask. Well, I feel like crap as it happens. I've got the flu. No, not a bit of a cold, but the actual flu. With chills and aches and a distinct lack of a real voice. And a cough, oh the cough is the most annoying thing. I can't laugh, I can't sneeze, I can barely even fricking breathe without it irritating my throat and making me cough. Although it is helping me sound a bit like Jessica Rabbit when I speak.
And Muttley when I laugh, but swings and roundabouts ya know.

So yeah, I've been genuinely ill since the 27th December. I tried medicine, I tried rest. I tried ignoring it. Nothing worked. I even tried going out on New Years Eve, completely against all advice of people who knew me that I should've stayed in, and tried to kill it with alcohol, hero that I am. That didn't work either. I finally went to the doctors (I was forced, I wouldn't have gone of my own accord) who listened to my chest, looked at my throat and ears and swiftly diagnosed me with the flu and sent me on my way. I don't think I've ever been in and out of a doctors room so fast.
All I can do is wait until it runs its course and goes away.

I had all sorts of New Year New You (blah blah) plans. All of which I will be going ahead with, I'm just going to have to postpone them all until I feel better.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, I shall make a lovely list of the things that I plan on doing more of this year. Some of which I may even do, and not just talk about:


  • Take more photos - I have planned (yet another) 365 project, when I feel better though.
  • Drink less alcohol - There are so many other things that I could do instead.
  • Eat better food - Cook more. Its not like I don't have the books there!
  • Do more exercise - I can walk, run, skate. I should, while I can.
  • Spend more quality time with my monsters - I complain a lot, about all the things I can't do with them, I should concentrate on doing the things that I can.
  • Save up for a holiday - A girlie weekend away would be amazing.
  • Save up for a holiday mk.2 - I would love to take my monsters away for a week camping or something.
  • Mate dates! - Me and my girls are all single. We've decided we're going to date each other. Just the date part mind, nothing more so stop being rude.
  • Be more healthy - Doesn't really need an explanation. But do it. Again. No more excuses.
  • Work harder - I need to put more effort into my uni work. I do it, but just enough.
  • Get a job - Again, self-explanatory. 
  • Have fun and be more positive - I complain, a lot, about everything. That should stop.
So yeah, just a few things that I've been thinking about doing. 
Its all about improvement of life in general. A nod to the blog name change here, and the explanation of the word is right there, if you didn't know what it meant. I didn't. 

Oh, and last one, I want to blog more. About everything. Text, video, photo blogs. All of it. I want my memories where I can't forget them, and that's what I'm going to try and do. 

Sorry about that. 

Enjoy. Or don't, obviously that's entirely up to you.
