Interview during the move

Hi there,

thanks for all your kind words. I'm at the start of the move and today I finally had another interview. I don't want to jinx it, but I don't think they give the job to me. In any case it would be an interesting job and I would've rocked it, but we didn't really connect in the interview so....

Therefore tomorrow I'll write another two applications and bring a bit of stuff over to my flat. My mattress will be delivered on Friday. The following day I'll bring over the rest. Yesterday I shopped like crazy at ikea and though ikea is inexpensive, when you need practically everything it adds up to an amount that makes one gulp. And I'm not done, I still need some kitchen appliances (like a fridge) and have to come up with an solution for my office chair. Rolls on parquet floor is a big nono. Luckily there is a flea market this Saturday, so we'll see ...

I really like my flat, but the bathroom is a nightmare (sooooo small) and I still need a mirror for it. But I'm quite confident, that the move will be over next Wednesday.


However today I finally got the soundtrack of "Secret" a taiwanese movie with Jay Chou. It is gorgeous, both the movie and the soundtrack. And I really would like to have the movie on DVD, but there is none for europe. This sucks!!! I want this movie desperatly, I only need English subs. No voice over, no german subs, just the movie with English subs on DVD with region code 2. PLEASE, Pretty PLEASE.

I hope all of you are fine and have a great time training.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!

One Week since my last run, what a shame....

Morning,

well, like you know from the title, I haven't been running for a week. The reason? I've got no idea.

Anyway, I've changed several other things about me in this week. First thing, I'm blonde now and my hair is even shorter than it was before. So far I got only positive feedback. Guess I'll stick with it for a while.

My music taste changed even more. I can hear slow music only before bed now. While it was just weeks ago all day. Weird. Right at this moment I listen to Lily Allen. I love her lyrics.

When it comes to nutrition, I've decided to go back to the Paleo Diet (in fact it's more a lifestyle not a diet in the sense that I want to lose weight). Last november I've tried it and the results were amazing. Clear and smooth skin, since I've struggled with dermatitis all my life this is the main advantage of Paleo eating. Next thing is that I actually lost weight, which is also something that I struggle with as you know. It's also known to reduce allergies, but I didn't stick with Paleo long enough to experience it. Hopefully I will now. You want to know more about the reasons for Paleo food then have a look at the "Paleo in a Nutshell"-video on youtube. (No, I didn't make it.) Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCFZoqmKf5M
I might even start out with Crossfit, if there is a studio where I will live next and that is besides Lindy Hop and Triathlon training. Yeah, life is looking bright!

Finally, one stat I've got for you:
lung function - peak flow: 420

Eat well, live well.

Back on track? We'll see.

Okay, since it's been a while let's start with my stats:

Weight: 65,1 kg
Training today: 10 squats and some serious decluttering (Who dumped all his paper in my room?!)

Yeah, I know what you think, I didn't do too well these last few weeks. The last two kilos I've gained (within 2 days, go figure), are due to a change in medication (less Thyroxin? Bad decision. ). Now I have even more fat to burn, isn't it fantastic?! Thanks so much doc.

Whatsoever, I took some reading to heart and I'm starting over again. I've set myself some interesting and encouraging goals, which I will share with you as soon as I've reached them. New approach, since the old one didn't work.

Found some nice "running" music: Allister "Last stop suburbia"
Punk runs, I mean, rocks!

See ya tomorrow with more news on my way back to the triathlon/marathon track.
