Day 43 - Start of Week 7 or Community service chick

Weight: 67.2kg
BMI: 23
Abs: On their way to flatness

Can't believe I only have 2 more weeks to go of this crazy challenge! Then it will be Xmas celebration time! Which means lots of food and drinks! And a bloated belly! Maybe I'll take a photo of my belly on Xmas Day. Bet it will be alot bigger than it will be on the final day of the comp!

This morning I did a THT class at the gym which was fun. Had heaps of energy doing aerobics after my morning caffeine hit and we also did heaps of leg resistance work. Then I went home, got ready and set out for a day of errands.

I got as far as popping to my mates to pick up my eftpos card (which I forgot I had left with her on the weekend) and buying my sister a coffee. I dropped off said coffee saying I'm only staying a minute and 2 hours later I left her place. My guilty secret? I missed my girls HEAPS. And I was procrastinating on the job seeking. But mostly I missed my girls. 3 days of looking after them made me miss them so much. And my poor sis is just so tired. I had to go. Just call me community service chick.

Also, I woke up this morning and thought, I'm happy. I don't want to work. All that stuff people say about being bored if they didn't work is absolute rubbish. If you are bored, you are BORING! There is so much you can do with your time. Pursue your passions, take up a hobby, volunteer. Give back. Of course this only can happen if you have money to live off. But let me assure you, its not boring! I haven't had a bored day yet. The only days where I have felt a bit flat are the ones where I have stayed at home all day with no social contact and watched DVDs. But so far I've only done that once or twice in 2 months.

After hanging with my sis, I did my food shopping and picked up my drycleaning. See how fun is that? ;) As I was struggling inside with arms full of shopping and winter jackets, I met my elderly neighbour Albert. He was sweeping and loading up two wheelie bins with rubbish. I asked him what he was doing and he said someone had dumped all this crap in our car pack so he was getting rid of it. This guy is amazing. I have seen him cleaning up big branches after a storm as well.

So I put away my shopping and helped him clean up. We swept up these weird little terracotta balls and silver shiny stuff and then he showed me something else he found with the rubbish. It was a set of instructions detailing temperature and light and flowers and buds and...he asked me what I thought it was and I said instructions for growing hydroponic weed and he agreed! He wants to confront our neighbours over it. They keep dumping crap and now this. He's pretty tough for an old bloke but if he pisses off our neighbours, I wouldn't back him to win the fight...

Then a bit later on, I saw the neighbour's friends turn up with a trailer full of more rubbish. Just go to a tip people! Its not that hard! Stop dumping your crap! Or put it on a nature strip like a normal Melburnian! I guarantee you that freaks will pick it up within 10 mins of it being chucked on the lawn. I was hawkeyeing them but they didn't unpack the trailer. If they have dumped the stuff there by tomorrow, I'm not sure what to do. Confront them or ignore it???

**NEWSFLASH - Now there is a moving van in the carpack and a chick is loading up two cars with crap. Heaps of people keep coming out the house and theres always loads of cars parked in our carpark for the house. It's like a frickin halfway house! Just checked, no rubbish dumped thank god!

So that was my second act of community service today. It felt good. I did look for jobs in the end and applied for a really good one! Fingers crossed for an interview.
