i know i already posted today. but it's just that i find working out in the evening somewhat counter-productive, in the sense that you come home on such a high, it's almost impossible to want to go bed and catch some zeds. wouldn't you figure that your body is so exhausted, to the point where you just want to pass out until your highly anticipated wake-up call...??
but no, such is the human body and science...and life, in general.
hmph.
but on that note, my 100-day challenge is going well. i have presently misplaced my agenda, so i do not know what day i am on. however, i do feel as if i'm progressing. i'm being super, super good with my eating -and even better with my training. so i really can't complain!
there is one thing, however, i know i have to be a bit careful about. and that is knowing when to stop. as advised by the ever-so-wise louie, "boys won't look at you anymore if you lose too much weight" -which, i have to say is a truth and a lie all in one LOL.
i'll leave that one up to interpretation, folks.
honestly, though, i think he's right...to an extent. i find the male perspective is often welcome yet, rarely useful. at the same time, i've always enjoyed being more "shapely" and fortunate in my proportions (if i can say so myself). so, it's simply a matter of being able to draw the line between what is and looks healthy -and, of course, the extreme.
and no, i am neither feminist, nor lesbian. i'm just happy where i am, looking forward to where i'll be in a few weeks -and finally, finally enjoying being me =)
heeey!
ReplyDeleteSo, this is kinda random, but I came across your blog from fb. lol.
And you're a pretty good writer :) (and a photographer, I remember the picture you had as your wallpaper on your computer, lol!)
I wanted to comment on your "and no, i am neither feminist, nor lesbian." statement:
first, you should know, that it is a common msiconception in society that all feminists are lesbians, and all lesbians are feminists.
there are also a lot of misconceptions that being a feminist means you're a man-hating, vagina-loving, no-bra-wearing kinda hippie girl. it's not. being a feminist means that you believe that women and men are equal, and as such, deserve equal rights in the eyes of society (with respect to careers, status, equality by law in marriage, etc.).
It is not a bad thing to be a feminist. All you're saying is you want equality for women and men; women are not better, men are not better, but complementary beings in the world. And the world can't exist without one or the other.
I think it's important that we, as well-educated women of society, help to ameliorate the stigma associated with being a feminist. I know men who are feminists as well, btw (my boyfriend is one, but he's kinda chicken to admit to his friends because of the stigma).

hey Gobika =) and welcome to my blog haha! yes, i do, vividly remember that desktop picture..all too well, in fact LOL
ReplyDeleteand yes, i am more than aware of the distinction -hence the "neither/nor". i will never forget mistaking both for the same thing and receiving some of the coldest feedback, ever, from a TA i had in second year!
i think you're right tho..there are huge misconceptions about what values each ideology holds -and where to draw the line between the two...and also how not to confuse one for the other. the media plays a huge part in misconstruing what being a lesbian and being a feminist entails.
so, i guess it is up to people like you and i to set things straight =)and your boyfriend sounds like a good place to start!!
