9. bake a cake for an event

Hi! I've not been posting regularly so trying to get back on that. I got back from holiday at 2am yesterday (I was in Lisbon for nine days with my girlfriend) so I'm absolutely shattered! The holiday was great and I managed not to feel too negative about myself or my body at all, which is a real achievement for me. We had two beach days and I wore my bikini without being very self-conscious at all. I didn't do great in terms of food though - we ate a lot of pizza and McDonald's as it was easier and cheaper than the alternatives, and generally we skipped lunch which isn't ideal. I'm off work for the rest of this week, then back at my current job for my last day on Monday, then on Tuesday starting my new job on reception a couple of floors up in the same building - which should hopefully be a good opportunity to reset some of my habits :)

How I would quite like to spend the whole of my day off vs how I plan on spending the next hour or so of my day off 😎 I just took starting measurements and photos to help track my progress, now I'm gonna head to the gym. I haven't been for a couple of weeks so I'm looking forward to it! I have depression and anxiety and I find that exercising really boosts my mood and self-esteem. Just gonna pop some new music on my ipod (Riot! by Paramore and AFYCSO by Panic! At the Disco - throwback) and then off I go.
