I've been taking things easy at the moment, and I'm enjoying it. I've only been making the teensiest changes to my diet, like taking no sugar in my coffee and skipping on snacks. And of course, only eating when I'm genuinely hungry. I'm looking forward to when this bloody rain will go away and I can exercise outside!My mum's got this new obsession with hula hooping. Supposedly doing 10 minutes of it burns as many calories as 10 minutes of jogging or something? She's got this absolutely giant hoop and just stands in the garden doing it. I wish I knew how to hula hoop! Maybe I should learn. Granted you look stupid as hell, but it also looks quite fun!
There's a bit of a gloom over the family at the moment as my aunty's getting seriously ill. My family are pretty hardcore, generally - on both sides, they don't seem to get killed by only ONE illness - take my gran for example, who lived to the grand old age of 97, and somehow managed to get over pneumonia in her 90s, and this aunty has been through cancer and arthritis and lung infections and all sorts, not to mention being disabled, but I think she's starting to feel like she's reaching the end of her tether. Then my uncle's getting all depressed because he's bascially her full time carer and he's not exactly young and he's finding it hard to cope. It's been seriously weighing on my mum's mind, I can tell, but I never really know what to say.
Mind you, I hope this surviving-deadly-illness thing is genetic. If I inherit all the good stuff from both sides of my family, I'll practically live to 100 after beating all sorts of crazy illnesses and I'll look like I'm 40. Can you imagine...
Crazy days!
In other news, I'm getting a break from all the on-my-feet work which is nice, though it's hardcore journalism stuff at the moment. And then I've got to start prepping for my August exam, ugh. Can't wait.
Craving a kitkat. Can't explain why.

You should definitely try hula hooping. It is all sorts of fun and it works your abs!
