Unpopular opinion (maybe I don’t know) but I don’t think Monday is that bad. I get stuff done. I do have dentist later though. Reason to dislike it a little. Tuesday however, Tuesday is the worst.

My weekend felt slow and fast all at the same time and even though I spent Saturday afternoon in bed with pizza (ham and pineapple sourdough, yes I like pineapple on pizza and I will fight for it until I die) watching Luther (we will talk more about him at a later date) I still feel like I barely had any time to myself. But I did. What is wrong with me?!

Saturday morning I got out of bed at 10 and got straight in the shower. This is rare. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was a little bit hungover (or still drunk I don’t know) and when I’m in that state I’m actually more productive than I normally am. Does anyone else get that? I feel like if I keep myself busy and occupied I won’t have time to think about how shit I feel. Also, I did have to be somewhere so I HAD to get up.

I went to a wedding show with my boyfriends mum and aunt (his aunt is getting married) and it was glorious. It also made me realise how much money is made from people getting married and how it may have all turned into a bit of a circus. Don’t get me wrong, I cant wait to get married and I’ve already got an idea of what I want but I go from wanting that to wanting a quick service in a registry office with 2 witnesses.

Jay (my boyfriend, it’s to much effort to type boyfriend all the time) doesn’t really buy into the whole marriage thing. He thinks society has evolved past that and that it isn’t necessary anymore. I agree with him but at the same time I love the thought of being his wife. And yes I know I don’t need a piece of paper to show that we love each other but I think its much more than that. It shows commitment and loyalty. Also, I know he wouldn’t want a big fuss which is why I flit between the 2 ideas. Ultimately, it’s about me and him. I wouldn’t want to disappoint our families but we are pretty low-key by nature and I think out wedding (if it ever happens!) will reflect that.

I do feel guilty, I know the biggest reason Jay would get married is because I want to and he knows it’s important to me. I’m still tempted to elope somewhere (although even that isn’t as easy as it used to be!) but I know some other things need to happen first.

Anyway, enough about weddings, that took a very long turn!

On Sunday, I did my first ever 5K on the treadmill at the gym. Now, I know this doesn’t sound like a big deal but to me, it is. I hate walking, I hate running, I hate exercise. Actually, that’s a lie, I don’t hate it, I hate my inability to do the things I want to do, I hate that I’m on a slow journey of improving my fitness and my health. So actually, I’m just impatient and I need to learn that I can’t do everything at once, no one can really.

So yes, 5K. I completed it in 36 mins which I know is very slow but it’s a good starting point and something I can improve on. I asked Jay when I had finished if I was red and he said “a little”. Let me tell me you, it was more than a little. I was still red after a shower. I wear over ear headphones, big ones, so my ears were all sweaty and my hair was wet. Honestly, I don’t know why I do it.

Sunday was pretty productive, I did the 5K (should I mention it one more time? GUYS I DID 5K ON SUNDAY AND I’M PRETTY PROUD) and then I had a driving lesson (I know 26 and still can’t drive, it’s not good enough!) which went pretty good. I’ve only had 3 lessons and I feel like I’m doing alright so we will see how it goes! I stalled once and I’ve realised the clutch will probably never be my friend.

I don’t really know the point of this anymore. Just giving you all the run down on my boring weekend!

Hiya, I’m Amy. I’m 26 and I haven’t really done anything noteworthy in my life yet. I’m pretty boring.

I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while now. I know I’m not particularly interesting or even that clever but I feel like sometimes thoughts need to be shared so people don’t feel alone, so they realise that other people think the same as them and, most importantly, to help show no body really has a clue whats going on.

Some of you won’t like my writing style, I write how I think, jumping from one topic to the next, never really finishing or rounding up the previous thought. I know it’s annoying and I will try and not do it much!

As you can also tell, I am not a strong writer, when I was younger I dreamed of being a writer but I’m just not wired that way. I like to think I can write pretty coherently but I never use proper grammar or sentence structure or anything like that, I just write how I talk.

So I guess the main idea around this blog is just to get my thoughts out there. Yes I will talk about topics that I don’t fully understand or know much about but I don’t think you should be put off sharing an opinion or idea just because you don’t fully understand something, It’s a way of learning more and growing on your initial thought/feeling.

I’ll also talk about my (very unhealthy) relationship with food and how I deal with being an overweight, emotional eater (this won’t be talked about all the time, just now and again when its playing on my mind). I’ve never really openly discussed how it’s affected me and how I feel there’s a slight stigma attached to it.

I’ll write about how my menstrual cycle (TMI, soz) rules my life and affects every aspect of it. It’s an ongoing battle that I will hopefully learn more about as time goes on (any guys reading this I’m sorry but it might help educate you a little too!).

I have a lot of in-depth discussions with my boy friend and my friends and I’ll be sharing snippets of those and showing how the closest people to you don’t always think the same way/agree with you.

I guess I’m hoping that this will be a little journey of self discovery, that I’ll start realising I should maybe have more confidence than I do, that my feelings and thoughts are valid and that sometimes, I’m just being a massive idiot and need to get over it!

Hopefully, someone will take something away from this! And if not, I hope it’s been entertaining!
