November Goals
Nov 04 2009 13:27

Right, I know we're a couple of days into November already but I've decided by the end of the month I want to have ditched 8lbs (though I'll settle for 6!).  For some reason my head is just really in the right space at the moment.  That hasn't happened in a looooooooong time.

Last night I went into London to see Renee Fleming (I <3 her sooooo much!!!).  I managed to get THE LAST ticket that was up for sale! I was at the train station by 5.30pm to find that the stupid train had been cancelled and the next one wasn't until 6.13pm.  Major F**K moment.  I managed to get to the concert in time but only just, I basically had to sprint from the train to the tube, and then change tube lines, and then sprint from the tube station across a footbridge over the Thames to the Royal Festival Hall in order to pick up my ticket and get to my seat for 7.30pm.  Luckily it started a couple of minutes late.  But all the hurrying combined with my massive winter coat and heels left me all sweaty and gross. It was not the ideal way to begin a concert, and I felt really sorry for the 2 people sitting either side of me.  It just re-iterated my need to lose weight and get fitter. No-one wants to be sweaty at a classical music concert. Weirdest reason to lose weight yet?  Perhaps...

Anyway, when I finally get my butt over to the US I am sooo combining it with wherever she is singing.  Maybe I can stalk her.  I know she has an apartment in NYC.
