Raw

It's already Tuesday and I'm almost recovered from all this sickness -heating the house with air-condition makes me ill all over again though. I try to use it as less as possible, but for where I live, this is winter.

I'm doing well so far. First step is manage to de-bloat from all the Christmas eating, then lose some actual weight. Yesterday, for example, I replaced the pomegranate cocktail that everyone else got with a fresh juice. I could do that because it was fucking 8 in the afternoon, so I wasn't in the mood for alcohol anyway. I'm getting back my power slowly, one step at a time, and even though I know rough times will come, I know I can get everything back.

I haven't bitten my nails for two weeks now and I'm so excited about that! Especially since it's exams period right now, so nail biting would be probably first thing on the list. Can I randomly add a goal here? 56 by May. May is when I will have to be in a bikini (trip details later on time). Have to be 56? No, MUST be. I can only dream for now: sandals, playsuits, smoothies, sunglasses...oh!

She drinks wine. And vodka.

It's weird I am finally back home. I've missed my place so much. My old, cold yet beautiful apartment, that I have grown so much love for. It's big and sunny, and I like how the sun falls onto my keyboard as I'm writing this post. I'm definitely going to miss this..

My nose is getting back to normal again, and I can touch it and wash it without any pain. I don't see that big of a difference but to be fair, I believe it's a more chic form of my old one! That's what I wanted, that's what we agreed with the doctor. I like it, but I will wait a week or so to make the complete comment on it.

So, as of today, I am starting the schedule I've posted few days ago. I know it will suit me well, but I have to limit my nights outdoors and bloody stick to it. I will keep a food diary too, and sometimes I will post my intake with photos here as well. Comment below if you will be interested in this, so I will know how many posts/week about it I should do.

Oh, and the status remains: no beer, no beef. 

Good morning.

Alive- Hustle Roses

Taking the stitches and bandages off came as a slight shock to me. It was an unbearable pain to start with, but when I managed to get up and look at the mirror, all I could see was a piggy nose. The doctor and my mom were standing behind me, with a smile on their faces, all like 'sooo..what do you think??'. I tried to smile, saying half of a 'it looks fine' and sat my ass on the chair again. I know it is bloated, I know cause I see it, cause the doctor said so, cause the surgery was only a week ago. But don't fucking look me in the eye expecting to sound all excited about the bloody (literally) nose!!

Aaaanayway. I went to the hair salon, washed and straightened my hair, had a dark purple manicure&pedicure with my sister and then went for a couple of mojitos. It felt like being alive for a change. It felt good, but then I felt dizzy. I went to bed earlier than the rest. But it felt pretty good to be back.

Getting started

Now that I have all my nose and health problems sorted out, it's time to face the outside world; reality. And that means exams. I am feeling relaxed and optimistic for the year that just started (stay tuned to see that change, just saying) so I shall make a list again. Keep in mind my last week's list went pretty well :)

So I made a daily schedule, just to keep me focused on the things I must do this following month. I know I won't be able to keep it every single day, but it works for me to know what I am going to do from the moment I wake up until I sleep.

EXAM'S SCHEDULE (may the Lord mercy us)

08.30-09.30 --> Green tea & gym. Cardio on the elliptical, focus on abs and butt exercises.
10.30-14.00 --> Coffee and fitness bar. Study.
14.00-16.00 --> Lunch break. Veggies with protein OR wild rice. Green tea.
16.00-21.00 --> Coffee and fruit platter. Study.
21.00-23.00 --> Out with friends for a break OR yoga/pilates for an hour, focus on arms. Yogurt. Sleep.

This might work and keep me focused on both passing my exams and getting my body back.

Hey, 2 0 1 3

Happy New Year to all!!
let's make 2013 the best year yet :)

Day 15 of Christmas holidays, day 15 of me staying at home. I don't know why I haven't gone crazy yet. The schedule is pretty strict: wake up, eat, watch tv, shower, eat, sleep, watch tv, eat, sleep. My family has made it so much easier for me, taking care of me, keeping me company, bringing me little presents and little cupcakes.. Tomorrow morning I'm going to the doctor's to take off the bandages and to check my nose. It will still be bloated, but I can finally breathe normally and shower and maybe go to my local Starbucks even (dreaming big here lol). My boots arrived and I can't wait to wear them to the hospital tomorrow!!

I must admit 2013 started off really good, with new dark hair and a prettier (hopefully) nose and plans for travelling (more on that later on) and all my loved ones healthy and happy.
What more to ask for?

If you're wondering what my resolution are, remember I do those on my birthday every year. But, nonetheless, I have one: love myself a little bit more this year. Take good care of my health and image, because I neglected it a little bit. I know for a fact a thin and pretty body will make me happier, so this is what I aim for. Again. It's okay.
