Inspiring pictures

I found these lovely pictures on my friends ipod, and decided to plug it into my computer, and take them off it. I actually didn't know that you could take pictures of someone's ipod, but there are programs around that can help you do that. You can also take, in my programs case, a max. of 100 tracks of music. it was a pretty good internet find in my opinion. Anyway, I find these pictures simple, but I completely agree with them, and the style of them makes it more interesting. I also love the stop light colours in the trio.

New hair

Hello pretty people, I got my hair done! It was lovely to get it done, I love the whole process, but I was just thinking in how much detail you have to explain what you want to the hair dresser, because they can come up with all kinds of crazy things. Luckily, mine turned out alright, it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it still looks alright, and it suits me I think. In the picture of what it looks like now (the lighter colour), it actually looks lighter than it is, because of the lighting and the flash of the camera.

Have a lovely 'rest of the day', eat lots of fruit and stay well

School and smokey eyes

I just got back from a lovely session at work. I work as a cheerleading coach for girls under 14. As I am 14 myself, it's great because I get to meet new people while teaching them how to cheer. I said in my last post that today I was going to do a water fast. The start of the day started out fine, though when it got to the end of the day, I again caved. I don't think that there is any point in trying again any time soon, not unless my sister gets back on board. With that in mind, I'm still going to stay at this discussing weight. But hey, maybe I will get motivated soon and try again without my sister. So, again, I just came home from work and sat down and the kitchen table and ate a substantial bowl of chow mien (asian dish), with my honey chai latte, which I enjoyed. Today was an alright day at school. Because it was our second last day of school, there was a few lectures and some holiday homework given out. I pretty excited about tomorrow, as it is the last day of school for 2009. I don't know what to expect for next year. I think that it's going to be a lot more challenging, and because I'm lazy with homework usually, I will have to work a bit harder next year. I really wish there was no holiday homework. Having to worry about school work whilst on summer holidays, is just ridiculous I think. The whole idea of a holiday, is that you actually have a break from school and such. Anyhow, I am looking forward to tomorrow as it is the last day of school. After school I am going to work again, for some extra money, and then I'm going to get my hair done. I'll post a photo of before and after for you tomorrow.

I love this look. The black nails. The black eye makeup, the messy blonde hair. It's dramatic, though surprisingly ravishing. Next time you go out, throw on some smokey black make-up to dramatize the whole look. I can't tell you how good looking I find this. I hope you all had a lovely day, and enjoy the rest of your night.

Giving up because of someone else

My plan is to sometime soon start a fast. The thing is however, I want to first have a week of eating raw fruit and vegetables, then a week of juice fasting, then onto water fasting for a while. Then to come out of the water fast, I would have another week of juice fasting, and then start eating food again. My sister and I have discussed this on a few occasions. I think that if we participated in the fast together, that I would be a lot more driven and it would be more on a competitive level, which is what keeps me going. This is all fine, however, my sister and I were going to start today. We got up in the morning, and cut up our fruit for breakfast together, and sat at the kitchen bench to eat. I felt in control, and I felt like I was going to survive the whole day. I thought that with my sister by my side, the process of fasting would be simple. Off to school we went, with our pre-washed carrot for lunch. It was at lunch time when I saw my sister and her friend walking past me at school. With my water bottle in hand, I noticed my sister from a distance, and was prepared to glance at her, as if to say 'we're in this together', however  when I walked past her, I noticed she was eating a bread roll with Nutella inside it. She had a grin on her face. She looked at me and said 'I don't want to do it anymore'. I stopped. I looked at her and asked why, and she said that because christmas was coming up, she didn't want to fast. It's not that much of a big deal at all. I just walked away and filled up my drink bottle. For the remaining hour of school, I managed to be strong for about 30 minutes, and then caved when I was confronted by a bad of sour worms. I said 'no thank-you', but as the bag went around the circle, I turned back and said, 'actually, I might have a few'. I don't think that I would have given up so easily if my sister hadn't given up. My point is that fasting and restricting/dieting is so much more easier when you have someone by your side. When you know that if you give up, you're not only disappointing yourself, but disappointing the other person. So if you're having trouble with sticking to fasts or rules that you have set for yourself, involving eating or anything else, get a friend or someone to help you out. I think online ones go by the name 'ana buddy'. I'm planning on water fasting tomorrow, giving it another go just for a day or so. I'll keep you posted, and I hope you all have a lovely day.
