Day 22 - Start of Week 4

Weight - 68.2kg
BMI - 23.3
Abs - a little bit less flabby

Aah Monday. Unemployed Monday. Then why am I anxious? Cos I need to get a job that's why!

Woke up this morning and hotfooted it to the gym. Was starving and wanted to get it over and done with. Rode for 15mins on the exercise bike listening to some cool, energising tunes. Almost felt like I was meditating at times - felt a rush and a sinking feeling behind my eyes. Hard to explain but no, I wasn't on drugs. Well maybe just roids ;)

Then I did lower body weights and really pushed myself by putting my weights up and doing lots of reps. It felt good to train hard whilst thinking about Thursday's measure-in. Cant wait to see where I'm coming on the leaderboard. Please God, don't make all this work be in vain!!!

After the gym, I procrastinated most of the morning away to avoid looking for jobs. I even went through my hotmail account to sort out my emails. I was desperate. Then after lunch I finally started looking and found a great job to apply for. So then I had to fix up my CV which resulted in much hair pulling. I love writing but I hate writing my CV. I am not good with business jargon. I'm not good at selling myself on paper. I'm too honest! Everyone knows that CVs should be full of lies and half-baked truths ;)

Anyway I almost finished my CV and will do the cover letter tomorrow. I didn't make it to my sister's today though with all my procrastination. Hopefully I will get there tomorrow, although I am meant to be going to a session on Effective Negotiation (of salary) in the city. Really cbféd on that one. I wonder how helpful these additional sessions are, I'm probably better just to apply for the fricken jobs!

Then tonight I went to a write-in for the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) I told you about last week. It was great! It was held in a Brunswick cafe called Miss Marmalade. For the month of November they have opened their doors every Monday night to budding authors, providing a cruisy atmosphere in which to write, drink coffee or wine and eat cake. Although I didn't chat much to the people there, it was nice to sit and tap away at my keyboard with a bunch of other crazy people. Aah the solidarity.

I felt energised after the write-in and was happy that I managed to write about 2000 words in a couple of hours. Felt great until I thought about my dreaded non-working situation. I am soooo happy not working, but cautious me is fretting in the corner of mind. She's picking scabs off her arms and saying "But what if the money runs out and you can't pay your mortgage? What if no-one wants to hire you? What if you wait too long and you really do have to sign up for the dole?" Shutup cautious me, I'm enjoying myself here thankyou very much...oh didn't I tell you I have split personality disorder? ;)
