Have fun with your pedicure -I'm so jealous :) I've never been a big fan of them but sounds likea nice treat and my walk people have strongly urged all the walker to not have them as they say we will need our callousses :) great so we'll have wonderfully attractive feet all summer :)

Have fun being pampered
 
well i just came back from my pedicure and it feels great and it looks great, so i'm really happy. bf is going crazy since he just loves i do stuff like that cause he knows that it makes me feel sexy :D and when i feel sexy its party time for him hahaha
well he's just gonna have to wait for another month.

i finished all the work today and got lots of compliments on how i did the job so i'm happy about that. my boss said she's going to miss me and the way i do things when i'm in budapest. very sweet of her.
anyway just had my dinner. haven't exercised and i probably won't since i just got my period and i feel like crap physically. but tomorrow don't let me slack.
 
Congratulations on the compliments! :D
I hope it's not too painful for you right now, and we'll definitely drag you out for some exercise tomorrow! ;)

so i was at that seminar today. i wanted to scream at someone. i always believed that you have to prepare when you hold a presentation. and they were but come on...can someone be overprepared???

the ladies welcomed us with about 250 pages of materials to work through until friday. WHAT THE F***????? now this is a presentation about european projects, about how to prepare a proposal bla bla. the participants are either very familiar with the subject (myself included) and those who don't know about european projects but have some experience with national ones (so at least they know about projects). and these are all people from academic world. you don't, and i mean don't tell these people for 10 looooong minutes what kind of effort they should use, and you don't talk to them for an hour about what are European institutions. i think if you work in a faculty you're bound to know what is European parliament, or Council of Europe. then the lady realizes she has given a 2 hour intro into the subject and skips the most important part (for those who don't have experience with it) which European projects are available at the moment in Europe and in which Croatia can pariticipate and in which way. SHE SKIPPED THAT PART!!!!! and the seminar is about this particular part.

and moved on to tell us about how much effort we should use when we write proposals. i'm sorry but this was too much for me. and this has been going on all day long. they even wanted to give us 2 hour HOMEWORK. what am i? ten? i really wanted to get up and ask them to take a course for giving presentations and training. 15 people fell asleep, and others, like me, were biting their nails and rolling their eyes and on the verge of exploding. at 2pm i gave up and left because i had such a headache, no wonder i had one since they they were telling stuff they were scheduled to talk about at11am. and to think i have to put up with this tomorrow and on friday. man mal could write a book on this.

my meals btw...so i don't forget:

breakfast: 3 slices of whole wheat bread, with 4 slices of turkey breast ham 2 slices of ementaler cheese.
snack: coffee
lunch: 1/2 small whole wheat and veggies sandwich and 1 whole wheat and cheese sandwich
snack: 2 pieces od dark chocolate and 0.1% fat fruit yogurt
dinner: sauteed peas, carrots and leek with two small chicken breast fillets

lets hope tomorrow is a better day. and just because i said so yesterday and juli said she'll drag me to it, i'll jump on my elliptical and watch CSI New York in a short while.
i still have headache and stomach pains...it will pass when i exercise. and maybe that anger will too. i really sound aggressive to myself today. lol
 
Elliptical doing the trick?
If not, try these: :hug2: :rofl: :santa: and finally :eh: ? No?
You're doing a good job there and I hope CSI took your mind off the seminar! Talk to you later, sweetheart!

Lena!! How frustrating! Maybe they will have noticed how unsuccessful today's lecture was and make the next two worthwhile.

Keep up with good work girly!
 
WOOO, Lena has pretty toes!! Ahhhh, I must say for the summer time, painted toes are a must have! I do my own, but as Lukewarm said in her diary, it's when you least expect to take off your socks in front of people, like during Pilates class that you discover almost everyone else around you has nice looking feet. LOL LOL, I don't pamper myself to much, but that is one thing I always make time for. As I'm always wearing sandals and flip flops at home, and strappy heels at work. You deserve it, so I'm so happy you did it!! When do you leave?? OH and those idiots doing the presentation, say something stupid to them and see how they react to it. LOL LOL that might throw them off, or they might give you that "huh"? Look, I do it all the time, I'm always the one to lighten up the boring conferences or seminars in our group. I can't stand someone who gets up there and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH'S for hours, that drives me nuts, throw some humor or fun into and make it something worth listening to that's my motto. Hey, it works for me!! Well, I better get going or I'll be late for class tonight. Have a good evening!! CHOW BABY!

i was afraid of that too hehe, but actually they're so used to seeing feet they really don't care haha. first thing they do is make you soak your feet and that thing (like bath for feet) lol is also massaging your feet. then she takes of the skin and does the nails for you. i was scared i would have a reaction of hitting her in the face or something hahaha, but it went very nice, she said my feet were behaving excellently :D:D

so i'm in a good mood, if we take away the headache. i did 30 minutes of elliptical and then 15 minutes of crunches :D today i'm going to my aerobics class.

my meals:
breakfast: dr. oetker muesli with low fat yogurt
snack: coffee and fruit yogurt
lunch: same as yesterday (i can't bring my own food, and this is all they give us...sandwiches)
dinner: potato and bean salad (wine vinegar and just a bit of olive oil) with 2 hard boiled eggs

Hey Lena, I have never had anything buy a home pedicure. I've always been scared too lol, even though I have always been told I have nice feet...

For headaches, press firmly on the soft spot between your left thumb and index finger for a few minutes.

I did this the other day, and it was a miracle. I had been dealing with the hangover from hell all day, and I just decided to try this because I had read about it working(it's a pressure point that communicates with your brain). So try it...just keep doing it for a few minutes, while picturing yourself in some kind of oasis where you are totally at peace. Let me know if it works :)
 
no, didn't work yet...but its probably because nothing helps when i have my period and splitting headache. it will pass after my workout probably. i was thinking of skipping it, but then i saw quotes at steve's place and immidiately a voice started appearing in my head whispering: "denial" in my head. so now i just have to go :D:D

oops, I meant right thumb and index finger. Actually put your left index finger on the top of the spot, and your thumb underneath it and press firmly with both fingers..Sorry hun... I messed up..
 
Hi, Lena! I didn't read back too far (2 and a half months to catch up on? Yeah...I don't think so), but it sounds like things are going well for you! I'm glad to hear it! Hope the rest of your conference goes smoothly.
 
Hi there Lena! I'm just popping in to say hello first time. :) I've read some of your posts and look forward very much to reading the rest. But have to get off now, as it's 4.30am. Sorry, but my computer is so slow, it takes ages to read just a few posts. (If you have dial-up internet, shoot the man who sold it to you).

Take care. :)
