So far

Well, we've started the diet and actually its going quite well :) We had a few problems with the gym on the first day where we couldn't sign up for the membership but on Tuesday we went back and got it all sorted, so now me and dean are official members of Active Sefton gyms :D woooo haha It entitles us to go to any of their leisure centres and use the gyms, swimming pools, sauna, steam rooms, and all the classes too for £21 a month, plus we both got 1 month free too - bonus!

Oh oh oh! and this is Deans new hair :D YES he finally had it cut off! :O

Bit of a bad photo but doesn't he look sexeeehhh ;) He looks a bit like the old singer from Tesseract! I like it

I got mine done too but it looks almost exactly the same other than my roots, however the condition of it is much much better. I'm gonna keep toning it and then using Moroccan oil on my hair and not bleaching it and hopefully it'll start looking exactly how I want it. I'm gonna get some hair extensions too so my hair looks nice and long - its exciting! :)

There is also something bad that I need to write about too :( ... Deans got these weird patches all over his chest, back and legs and we didn't know what it was (at first we thought it might be psoriasis), but when we went the docs yesterday he said its a fungal infection! Which means hes probably got it off Chewy our Hamster! :( not good.

Oh well, time for work soon boooo Earn some pennies though which is all good :) I got some holiday brochures from the Strand yesterday cause we're planning on going somewhere nice at the end of the year to replace Download Festival. Tbh, its realllllllly getting me down at the mo cause everyones talking about it :( I WISH I COULD GOOOOO :'(

Body Detox and hair

So next week, Me and Dean are gonna start a body detox for 4 weeks and basically try and go the gym everyday, eat properly and not snack on crap all the time. Ou diets will be a little bit different from one another due to me liking everything and Dean only liking processed food.

Although we're only planning on doing this for 4 weeks, I don't want to go all supercharged and eat stuff I hate, because I know when the 4 weeks are up I'll be so fed up of eating cardboard by mind will instantly want cakes and pizza. I want to try and stick to foods which although aren't exactly "diet foods" as such, its something I'll enjoy and will be able to live on for the rest of my life. When I'm rummaging through the cupboards at stupid o'clock I want my mind to instantly think of soup, cereal, pasta etc instead of Pot Noodles, toast and chocolate.

Obviously, in the next 4 weeks there will be occasions when I can't stick to the routine, such as Leahs Birthday Party, which is fine aslong as I do well up until then and afterwards one night of treats won't hurt :)

I'm gonna try and keep a log to see how well I do, which I'll also try and put on the internet to motivate me to stick to it.

Also, next week we're both going to get our hair cut yaaaay :) My hair is just a disaster, its so dry, I've tried everything and its just horrible. I think what makes it worse is that it isn't anywhere near the colour I want either. I'm still not sure whether to spend a fortune in a shop to get my roots done and for them to get it the colour I want ASWELL as cut it, I know it'll cost an absolute fortune though : / We'll see but I'm sure I'll get there eventually even if my hair is a lesbian cut by then haha I'll get extensions :P

Deans getting all his hair cut off :O yup, now that he has quit Korn Again... (for a bazillion reasons, but pretty much cause hes fed up of a multitude of things, and also because he wants to get a promotion in Asda) ...he has no reason to keep it basically. If he goes to the interview in Asda with short hair all smart then he'll look like hes really made an effort so thats good.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... when we go on holiday at the end of the year, hopefully I'll 1) have lost 3 stone and 2) have larrrvly hair again :)

Devastated :(

Unfortunately something really horrible has happened :( We're not going to Download Festival after all - its sold out.

I feel like kicking myself! Because work are cutting back on alot of hours, we didn't wanna risk not being able to afford our flat so we were going to buy the tickets 3 weeks before, we had no idea it was close to selling out! In 2006 they announced on the main website news feed like 2 weeks before that they were getting close to selling out! This time, they didn't even announce it they just posted on the forums that they'll be gone in the next 24hours! I'm fuming really, they should have gave more warning. I've only got myself to blame :(

Anyway, because our only planned holiday for this year has been fucked up, we've decided to keep saving our money and we're gonna go on a nice holiday at the end of the year instead. Hopefully somewhere like the Dominican Republic is on the cards again, not sure though we're gonna see what deals there are closer to the time :)

Everything is reminding me of Download, even the normal horrible British weather which we get all year round reminds me of it. "Oh its raining again... it always rains at Download too" :/ Also I can't even listen to music without feeling gutted lol Right now I just keep telling myself that our holiday will be epic and remembering all the good times from 2009.

I think when we go on holiday this time it will be alot different because we have lived together for a year now so we're more used to eachothers company, but when we went to the Dominican in 2009 it was a bit strange and we argued quite a bit too. Also we know what to expect now aswell, and we'll definitely be brining ALOT more sun cream hahaha

Scar Symmetry!!!!!!!!!

Just amazing, simply amazing. We got there a bit early to find the place and go to Afflecks Palace, and as we were waiting around we go to MEET THEM. As usual, I got really star struck though and didn't know what to say :(

The support acts were pretty cool, Xerath obviously! Really cool, and Scar Symmetry just awesommmme. Moho Live (the venue) was pretty good too, quite small and it felt like we could connect and interact with the band. Defo going to have to see some more bands there - Combichrist are playing at the end of june - Yes pleasssse.

After the gig, got to speak to the members again, got my pic with Per :) I'll upload that another time. Didn't realise how gorgeous Lars is, my god. LMAO Really gutted I only shook his hand now and had nothing to say. Girls don't shake hands, girls hug - what was I thinking?! lol

When we got back into Liverpool, Rachy rang me and told me her Jennie and Richard had been to a Karaoke bar with the band and had drinks and kisses from them.. Devastated!! LOL Next time I'm going to stay behind I don't care if its a band I really like then its worth the extra money lol.

Also when I was in Afflcks Palace I bought a Mario wallet ohh yeahhhhh

Download Festival ♥

We're going to Download Festival! woop woop :D Only 4 weeks to go and its gonna be EPIIIIC. I'm just starting to write a list now of what we'll need to bring. I refuse to bring lots with me this year though, I alwayssss end up bringing a load of crap with me and regret it - well not this time!

Also, my hair is still a load of shit :/ Its blonde now, but more of a yellowy blonde and its in super bad condition. I've left it for about 5 weeks now to try and get some strength back but its still breaking all the time. I'm really not happy with it cause I was hoping for a much much lighter colour, but my hairs having non of it :( I'm gonna try one last bleaching session next week and if it doesn't work I think I might end up giving in.

Heres a pic of my hair. Its alot lighter now than it was then but you can kinda see the yellowyness. Its all patchy and now my roots are horrendous haha It'll defo be sorted for Download though!

Oh and as for the gym, its been going well although I've not been able to go for the past week or so cause I've been really struggling with money :( I've been making up for it at home through by doing weights and stuff.

I had my half way appointment at the nac a few weeks ago, and it went really well :)  Gina (my personal trainer/advisor) said I've been doing great and whatever I'm doing its working. I lost 7cm off my waist and my heart and lungs were alot healthier. As I haven't been going the gym lately, I prosume its gone a bit down hill, but I feel good inside and I think thats the main thing. I used to get really down cause I felt flumpy and horrible, but now although I haven't changed much physically I feel alot better. This is a life change not a phase and thats whats good about it :) Once my Sefton Lifestyles period is over, I'm going to buy a monthly membership.

Deans been training hard too which is great! He's in the middle of his own little 'body transformation' and is going to get into shape and build muscle on his arms and chest and stuff. I've always thought he was muscley anyway and he certainly isn't fat or anything, but I'm not going to stop him because I know from experience if you're not happy with your body even if its completely fine, it can really get you down. It helps me aswell because it motivates me to work out too :)

..<<~*~♥~*~>> ..

ALSOOOO...Went to see Sylosis on 1st May just spontaneously haha :D Didn't even know they were playing and then in the morning I saw on facebook that they were in Liverpool n I was like noooooo, so then we decided to go :) They played with 2 bands called Hang the Bastards and Chapters. Can honestly say I wasn't that keen on Hang the Bastards but Chapters were pretty cool, and ofcouse, Sylosis were AWESOMMMME.

AAANNNNNDDDD.... Tonight, we are going to see SSCCAARR SSYYMMMMEETTRRYY. Fucking yes please. I'm so excited, been waiting to see these guys since forever.
