Meeting people, moving meetings.

So a weekend of exercise completed, I feel great! I have heaps of energy today and although I'm a little sore from training yesterday I feel good. I think the Yogalates will be a nice way to work out a few of the kinks I get from the training.

I think I'm going to have to move my WW meetings to Monday nights, this is good and bad. I need to move the day becuase of my plan to meet more positive people involves going out on Wednesay nights to meet them all, so I will miss my meetings. Bad because I've been to the Monday meeting once and it was MASSIVE! the lines (both of them) snake well out the door. Although I spend an hour there anyways so standing in line is better then sitting I guess. :P

More about my plan. I realise I have very few close friends, which I don't think is uncommon, the problem I have noticed is that although I'm very close with some friends I also have a few who are just too much? I don't know how to describe it but they suck more of my energy than I get back from being around them? They are negative, put me down about my weight and generally I don't enjoy myself around them anymore. Comments similar to " your fat, but curvy in a good way" and "your an hour glass just one made for timing stew not eggs" are not uncommon. Previously I would just ignore it or make a self deprecating joke as well. However now, I'm not really into it, something snapped/ changed, I don't know. Yes I'm fat, yes I have a whole heap of weight to lose, that is still no reason for anyone else to make comments like that, really they are just mean and hurtful.

So it's taken me a long time to realise I don't need that in my life, I can make fun of myself just fine. In a quest to rectify the problem, one thing i promised myself I would do this year... call it a resolution if you will, was to meet new, interesting and POSITIVE people and expand my circle. I've started online, I've met so many motivating, amazing and supportive people online. So many of them I can relate to and their stories have helped me focus on my journey. See my blogroll for just a selection. In addition to this, on Wednesday night I'm heading out with the boi to a place in the city that runs D&D for multiple groups, a place where people can get together and join in on games. I'm a huge geek, I love D&D and other roleplaying games. I'm going to stop talking about it now before I embarass myself totally. (yes I'm a child of the 80's)

All the other gamers i know (not online ones) are amazing people, happy, somewhat crazy and great fun. I'm hoping to meet a bunch of new poeple and maybe even catch up with a few people I've lost contact with over the years.

So here's to moving my meetings (I get to keep the same GREAT leader though (YAY!))(which means I'm hoping to have made a loss this week, I've been working hard) and here's to meeting new and interesting people in all areas of my life, both on and offline.
