Name change… The (mis)adventures of Blubber Girl

This week was hectic and flew by without my permission. On Monday and Tuesday I was off work from sickness. My doctor and the pharmacist were convinced that I was pregnant and it took some convincing that there is no chance on earth, in heaven and hell that I could be pregnant and so the doctor eventually concluded that I had gastro(sometechnicaltermthatismissinheretoendoffgastro).

I was so dizzy for about 4 days. It was the weirdest feeling ever. I will admit that I have been eating a lot of turd in the last two weeks all in the name of MY BIRTHDAY (10/10). On my birthday I had about 3 glasses of champagne and a glass of wine and a whole load of food (might I add that it was 100% unhealthy. Main ingredients included cholesterol, heart attack, constipation and death) – preceding and subsequent to the celebratory events that partook. I believe I had the best time of my life on my birthday. First a few of my closest friends and I went to watch the sun set. One of my most favourite past times is to find a quiet spot and watch the sun set and look at all the different colours a sunset has. Then we proceeded to go to the beach for a midnight swim much to the dismay of a few friends because it “was not safe” wah wah blah blah. It turned out to be the most magical time of my life because when we got there, the moon shone so bright the entire beach area was completely lit. There was also a couple that was chilling at the beach with a BONFIRE!!! One of my most ultimate dreams was to have a beach party with bonfire. Later on they started fire dancing and it was awesome. A moment in my history where I knew unequivocally that we don’t need material things to make us happy. I had beach, sunset, firedancing, bonfire and most of all my awesome friends (albeit some were missing) who made me feel so lovedJ. I still marvel.

Back to this week…

After I took a forced sabbatical from gym I went back full force today. It was AWESOME! I started off with a little walk for about 40 minutes this morning and it also did wonders for me. Moments where I get to spend longish periods of time outside are few and far between because life is just so darned busy. I wake up, get ready for work, get into the car, drive to work, from work into car and into gym, from gym into car go home. Hardly time to spend outside breathing fresh air. So at 5am (I was woken up my car alarm going off – so you can imagine the adrenaline of expecting someone trying to steal your car and gearing yourself up to MOER* the hell out of someone for a) disturbing my sleep and b) most importantly trying to steal my car. AND it turned out that the alarm went off just because it can. I still believe it was God waking me up.) I got out of bed and went for a walk. Breathed in fresh air and enjoyed watching the sun rise [I am a black hippie/tree hugger – I know, it is weird , don’t judge just love] and ran a little. Yes, I ran a little! So shocked! I RAN!!!

I was in such a good mood at work. After work, I went to the gym and as mentioned previously it. was. AWESOME! I’m sore all over but I’m enjoying the pain.

Tomorrow I am going to attempt a 5km walk. Gonna try to do it under 50 mins which means for every 10 minutes I must walk a kilometer. That’s funny. Sometimes I have faaar too much faith in myself.

Have a good weekend all!

*MOER means beating the turd out of someone.

Name change… The token fat black girl.

Hello Cyber World!

It’s been an age! Welcome back to me. I must apologise for being away for so long. It has been such a rough few months. So much has happened yet so little has changed. Do you ever get moments like those where your world feels like it was turned inside out and upside down but you feel like the events that took place are not worth mentioning? Well, that’s my story.

Brief summary of my life thus far…

I went through such a crazy stage this year of most of my evening classes at varsity were cancelled and had to get to varsity during the day which meant that I would have to take time off during working hours to go to varsity. THAT WAS A CHALLENGE IF THERE EVER WAS! Needless to say, last semester my marks were not awesome. I was THAT average student i.e. I would be excited if I got 50% for a test… ugh!

My mother got ill, very ill. She has always been ill with arthritis and stuff but over the last three and half months she got progressively worse and the last month was to become one of the most challenging time of my existence. She was so ill with goodness only knows what. She had to be carried to the loo, she only slept. She was too weak to do anything. She could not eat or drink. If she did she would pass it either by involuntary purging or a more conventional way – which for manner’s sake I shall not blatantly mention – but more brutal. She got to a stage of passing blood. She stopped breathing twice and so on and so forth. Eventually she was admitted to the hospital where they have been able to treat her somewhat. She is better now and we are back to fighting over everything which is a good sign!!

As a result of my mother’s sickness, I decided to take a break from my studies this semester. I was not crushed as I knew that this was something that I needed to do for my sanity, my family and work. I am happy to announce that I am getting that feeling back of wanting to study again. When I decided to quit, it wasn’t fun to study anymore. It had become something that was a chore and felt like I was doing something bad as I felt bad for taking time off work to go to class and I was not spending as much time at home, gym and my spiritual life had taken a knock. It was a well deserved break. The only challenge is that next year I will be studying via correspondence and that will take a lot of discipline. I really will need as much support around me to carry on as studying via correspondence works hand in hand with procrastination and I believe that I have a PhD in procrastinating. Take for example this blog…

Brief summary to continue next time!

Peace, love and sore Achilles!

p.s. Joke of the day… apparently Chuck Norris had phone sex and it took two days for Blackberry to recover!!!! J

Name change? Yes Please!

Hi World of the Cyber Space!

Gosh, Its been so so long since i blogged. I thought by this time I would have literally lost a ton of weight but I didnt. There are alot of things happening now in my life so I dont really have time to do anything - even sleep. I promise to update soon, perhaps even tomorrow.

I am off to Zumba class. I havent been regular at the gym but I recently tried to change my eating habits with help from a some friends. Eating less bread and more fruit with alot more water. I decreased my portions but I think I need to decrease them more to have more results? I dont want to strave but I also dont want to be over eating. I'll try this habit for a month and see how it goes.

Oh, some friends have commented that I lost weight but the scale doesnt really reflect anything. Another friend went as far as saying that my "stomach preceded" me. DEEP!

I love bargain hunting for fruit and stuff. I just need to ensure that my supper less portion and hopefully not late as I only get home at ridiculous times and eat supper then. Weekends I tend to slack off ALOT and I need to slack off a little.

I watched a dvd last night and this lady said there is no such thing as "I just cant have one cookie otherwise I'll eat the whole thing" she said "we just need to exercise self control and not be controled by food"

So getting to the point. I want to change the name of this blog. Suggestions are welcome:) I was thinking of "Get me on Top Billing Stat" or "Mission: Top Billing". That's ultimately what I really want to do. I just vocalised this to myself the other day that I want to be a radio dj/tv presenter (and of course world peace). It felt like such a relief to say that out loud. Why should other people live my dream? And the first step is to work on my inner self so it can reflect on my outer self.

Okay, bye for now:)

Remember to suggest names...

Funny of the day

I just went to the bank now and I thought I would share the name of the person who was assisting me.... Miriam Christmas.... Seriously, No Jokes. WHAT WERE HER PARENTS THINKING?

As if!!!

I said today i would definately go to the VBox class. I could not wake up. I felt slightly sickly because of the heat. Yes heat can cause a cold, let me show you. HEAT=AIRCON. AIRCON + INSIDE = COOL. STEP OUTSIDE + HEAT = CRAZINESS IN THE BODY. BODY = CONFUSION and thus = SICKNESS.

So this evening I will go to boot camp class. Okay, Okay I will admit that I slightly wimped out because I am scared of the VBox instructor. The guy is crazy! My friend who is as thin as my nail sms'd me and she told me that she was knocking on death's door.

I am going to weigh this weekend and I will tell you exactly how much I weigh. Been running away from that for a while so its time we adressed that issue.

Have a whoopdidoo kinda day!

"This is it... Oh, I finally found the one"

Okay, so, today was a monumental kind of day! I woke up this morning at 04:55 and I went to the gym. It was so much fun because there were not too many people in the class. There must have been around 20 people as opposed to the 150 people that usually go to the evening classes. I worked out so hard that I thought I would drop about 15 kgs right then. It felt like I was burning more calories because the fans were not on. I thought to myself after the class, 'You fool! You can barely do star jumps yet you think you worked hard. It was just hot in the class'. So I went and showered and was on my way to starting the day.

One thing that I like the most about going in the morning is that nobody can mess with my time then. Usually after work I have got a ton of things do; this person needs a lift there, I must meet someone, I must run errands for motherdearest, I must go to church or I got class (as of next week).

The best part of this whole exercise (pun intended) is that I discovered a multivitamin that gives me so much energy I could burst! (Now, I am not being paid for this but I must give props to those who deserve it) I bought Turbovite with Ginseng in it and I feel like I can run up Mount Kilimanjaro, I have so much energy. For me it has been such a battle to do anything because I had no energy. You may say to me "Naledi, Oh beautiful one, if you eat the right foods and drink plenty of water you should have plenty of energy". My reply to you would "Bitch please, go and jump. Right foods' se gaat. I have got so many other commitments for my salary - buying all this fruit and veg all the time will mean i must use half of my salary." The next best thing then was Turbovite. I love Turbovite so much I could write a love song about it. I would call it.."Turbovite, how I love thee!"
The Lyrics something like this:
After my daily dose of Weetbix,
I whip you out of my bag,
I take just one of you and let you slide down my throat.
As you settle in my stomach,
together we start to make beautiful music
as you give me the energy I need to do the impossible....
Get through the day. Not just getting by - Oh no!
I glide through my day as I tick off the list of things that I need to do.
So from now on I will sing,
Turbovite, How I Love Thee!

So tommorrow I will attempt one of the hardest classes at gym - V-Box. Not looking forward to it as I heard the instructor is somewhat of a psycho.

Peace, Love, Turbovite.

Test post

I am doing 43 things.

Mission (im)Possible

I have been dying (slight exaggeration) to post an entry lately. But for the life of me I could not sign in. I was convinced my gmail account was deleted by google. For some reason this morning, I decided to try for the last time to sign in before I start a new blog and VOILA! I could literally hear the angels singing HALLELUJAH! Life is good again. My did I miss writing!

So, how are you cyberworld? I am fine thanks and you?

Its the begining of a new year and with new year comes resolutions and with resolutions come setting yourself-up-for-failure-and-wanting-to-slit-your-wrists-because-you-did-not-follow-through-with-your-resolutions sessions. Me, being me (as if I could ever be someone else) I decided fudge resolutions I am going to have goals. My main goal is to have goals that are not beyond achieving but also they must be a step towards achieving the ultimate goal which is of course ending world hunger and achieving world peace single handedly.

So, my goals for the year are:

1. Go to the gym 3 times in the morning. As of next week. Seriously. No jokes. Why are you laughing? I know waking up for me is a mission but don't judge. I will do it. I have a plan. The plan is called MULTIVITAMIS, TURBOVITE AND SUPRADIN. Yes? Yes. 
2. Since I am now officially a third year student, (yes I am!) I have to HAVE TO aim for distinctions so that universities  will trip over themselves to offer me scholarships to study my postgrad in Development Economics. And, so that I can land a  nice coushy job that will pay me enough to change the world. (all in a day's work really)
3. Work on my spirit man. I am the type of person who accepts people for who they are and almost to a point where I dont want to offend by talking about my faith. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a Bible basher. In fact I dont really like Bible Bashers, they have a tendency of boring me. But I need to be more definitive about who I am and who I want to be. I can't get far in life without working on the core part of me. It's crazy and stupid because until I adress that I will constantly be searching for some great big revelation and chasing the latest craze. I can fool everyone else but I cant fool myself. I always say that last five minutes before you fall asleep, when you are completely real with yourself and there is no one around; what goes on in my head and heart?
4. To be very present at work and knock everyone's socks off with my competency. I have been just getting by at work with doing what is required and never REALLY going the extra mile. I need to show up more. Not to only prove to others but to be happy with myself. I need to be one of those people who are headhunted because they are simply AWESOME!

As the weeks go by I will post some more goals because I cant rember all of them right now.

Just for your enjoyment click on this link and see me work my magic in an effort to becoming the next Top Billing presenter simply because I am the bombdiggidy.
