My GOD, my muscles hurt. They say it's a thin line between love and hate... well, John Romaniello: I love to hate you. And hate to love you.
But I have to say, before this phase of intense workouts, I don't remember a time I was on *this* much of a high after exercising. I truly wanted to punch John Roman-frigging-ello in his huge-ass bicep during the first circuit today. That, and simultaneously burst into tears. I didn't do either. And to be fair, even if I *was* based in America, and had the opportunity to punch him, I think it'd do me more damage than him.
I can just imagine it now... I'd probably walk away feeling as if I'd broken my hand... It's a pretty funny picture!
In case I've piqued your curiosity, and you'd like to know more, here's a link to his website. I really like his writing- it makes for great entertainment, as he's just very witty.

Anyway, today's been a great day =) Nandos rang me telling me they'd like to hire me! In all honesty, I was expecting it, as a) I'm great at interviews, b) I have the advantage maturity and experience wise, considering I've worked at KFC, and c) It's a restaurant/fast food company... it can't be rocket science to get a job there!
But, due to the sheer number of people at the recruitment day, I was still scared that I *may* not be hired... So, this really is fab news hee hee! Training will start early August, so YAY for money!
Ooh! And in other news, the bank have agreed to increase my overdraft limit, which MEANS.... I can finally book those plane tickets to Prague!
One of my close friends (who I lovingly call my "Flying Mushroom") will be getting married this October, and I'm going to be a bridesmaid at the wedding...! SO EXCITED!! And... I'll be on a plane alone, experiencing a different country alone (well, okay, atleast I will be between arriving in the country and arriving at her house), and the independence... the feeling of being so free that I'm in another country, and alone? It's just so thrilling. I want to jump up and down with excitement. YAYYY!!
I just found a quote that made me smirk.
"The great question is... which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?"
And this is by no less than Sigmund Freud, the famous psychologist. Geez, I feel sorry for men... mind you, if they asked, I'd be more than willing to atleast *try* and explain what it is we want.
I understand that we have mood swings, we say what we don't mean... but that's due to fear of being vulnerable. Fear that, in not recognising our needs in the first place, men don't actually care enough about us.
God, we really are complicated creatures...
So anyway, onto today's lesson, which talks about our tendencies of wanting to be "such and such". Of ticking certain boxes, and of possessing certain qualities.
Love isn't logical, it's about how you feel around a person. It talks about letting go of prerequisites, and opening your heart and soul to the idea that your soulmate most probably doesn't look the way you expect them to.
Once upon a time, I was under the illusion that the "right person" for me would be brown, from my community, would need to have a high powered degree, be handsome etc etc
Now? I'm open enough to really tap into how I feel around people. I'm curious to discover their actual natures. Some of my closest friends, on the outside, aren't exactly model material. But that's completely irrelevant to me; their inner beauty shines through and touches me in a way that betters me as a person.
The exercise asks you to imagine how it would feel to you to have a relationship with your soulmate.
I was thinking about it, and the following words popped up for me:
Unconditionally accepted
Understood
Peace
Serenity
Compassion
Gentle
Comfort
Security
I'm not liking how the last few paragraphs are looking on this screen... somehow the format's become a little iffy *looks confused*
But anyhow, that's all from me for now!
Until tomorrow, and with all my love xxx
