The first challenge I completed was re-organising and cleansing my closet. Now for most people this activity may take a couple of hours...it took me 8 hours!!! The reason is very simple. I have been roughly the same size since I was 15 so hardly throw anything away...which means I've had some of my clothes for approx 10 years! Therefore this wardrobe cleanse was essential. I don't want to post the before pic because I don't to disgrace my husband and family but basically it was a mess and the doors wouldn't even shut!
After this cleanse, I was able to donate over 25% of my clothes to charity and finally see what my room looked like with my wardrobe closed... Prince was a huge help, he supported me by lying down looking pretty and every now and then lifting his head up from the football match to share some words of encouragement. LOL
All the hard work paid off in the end and now my wardrobe is looking so good that I just want to stay in my pyjamas all day because I hate the idea of messing it up!!!
The next challenge I completed was walking 2.5km in 25 minutes. The reason I set myself this challenge is because since I passed my driving test 7 years ago, I don't walk anywhere. Apart from the brief period of time when I was unfortunate enough to go to uni without a car. And when I do walk anywhere it's at a ridiculous ant pace most of the time because I'm fighting the urge to walk back home instead of making it to my destination. After being on this earth for nearly quarter of a century, I want to start walking more...it's good for my health and it also gives me time to think and reflect.
To be honest, I thought I was extremely unfit and it would take me a couple of tries but I smashed it with ease...and style. (The dip in pace is when I started day dreaming)
The 3rd challenge I completed was something I've wanted to do for a long time...go to the cinema alone. On Sarah's recommendation I went to see....
I strolled up to the ticket counter by myself on Orange Wednesday and bought a ticket for one!!! It was soooooo embarassing. There were sooooooooo many couples and friends and I was just standing there like billy no mates #peak. So anyway, got my ticket and walked towards the screen...I felt people were watching me so I tried to pretend I was waiting for someone and they were running late...LOL.
To be brutally honest, going to the cinema alone wasn't the worst thing in the world...I was able to fully concentrate on the movie, every word, every action, everything....and it was sooo peaceful!!! It was so peaceful that I feel asleep towards the end of the movie. But I'm sure I was awake for all the best bits... Funny thing is, Prince and I always argue about popcorn but coz he wasn't there with me and there was no-one to fight with, I didn't even buy any....#foodforthought
In summary, happy with my progress...focussed on finishing. #djfocus
