4-Day Holiday!!!!

At the last minute, my bosses in the office told me that I could take 4 days off for the Holy Week! Of course, I was so happy when I found out, I decided to push through with my plans on Maundy Thursday.

My friend recently learned how to drive and she was looking for someone to hang out with so she could practice her driving. We ended up having breakfast at McDonalds and going to the gym afterwards at The Fort. I helped her out with some of the machines since she wasn't familiar yet with the equipment. I also managed to convince her to join the Body Jam class which she really enjoyed because it's so silly and fun at the same time.

She mentioned that I seemed to have lost weight as compared to the last time we saw each other. It made me glad to know that all my hard work in the gym has been paying off somehow. At the same time though, my present job leaves me little room to indulge in snacks because I barely have time to eat my lunch. It's funny though because sometimes before I go to the gym, I eat a lot of chocolate to get my energy rush.

I don't go to the gym to lose weight. At this age, I'm perfectly happy with how my body is, even if I tend to be on the chunky side. I refuse to subscribe to any diet and I will always enjoy all kinds of food. We only live once, why deprive ourselves of the basic joys of life? The reasone why I spend a lot of time in the gym these days is for me to make my lungs stronger and to make my brain produce more endorphins which does really give that "natural high". If in the process it makes me look better to other people, then I'm glad. I think though that I've had enough self-acceptance that fat or thin, my body will never be a source of my confidence issues.

I wonder how I'll spend the next 3 days of my holiday?
