Hey Ragers and Ragettes!!! It’s a very bitterly nasty ass cold day here!! There is frost and ice on the ground. I am freezing!!! But at least I look fab!! I am rocking my bell bottom jeans
(My all time favorite style), my lips print top, black cardigan, my retro blue suede Adidas running shoes and my red lippy. I am wearing my fur-lined cape which is so comfy and warm and gives me a “rich lady” look. I just need a big fluffy Russian style hat and I am set!!!
Well, Happy New Year to everyone! 2015 was interesting. I learned a lot and I am really to go forward in 2016 in confidence and start making changes.
I have started by changing my fitness goals, eating and training style. I am eating more because I am hoping to start competing on the Power Lifting Circuit. I am quite strong. My Deadlifts, Squats and my bench press. I have a good chance at placing and doing well, I just need to lose 65 pounds to get into the weight class that I want to get into. Ouch.
This year, also, I am growing my hair out as I am going to try the world of Micro Ring Hair Extensions. I had a consultation with the woman who is going to be putting my extensions in. I have to grow my hair out more so we both figured by May I will be at a length where the extensions will blend. In April I need to have a color consultation so she can match my hair to the extensions. She suggested going back to my natural hair color or a few shades darker or lighter. I wanted raven hair but she put me off that. She told me that her clients that have black hair extensions all have the same complaint. The black dye tends to strip the paint off the metal bond that holds the extension in place. So if black hair dye is stripping the paint off metal, what is it doing to your actual hair? I’m thinking a medium brown with a red tint with caramel highlights going through. I am going to be booking in with my colorist soon to come up with some ideas.
But the biggest thing is the ultimatum.
Simon and I have been a bit strained recently. At work we have been fighting like cats and dogs. Like properly ripping lumps out of each other. Then we’d go home and I would pretty much spend my weekend cooking, laundry and cleaning while Simon sits on his ass playing Grand Theft Auto or watching movies and very often sleeping.
Friday
I had enough. I just snapped. So I came into work and I calmly wrote him an email telling him how I felt. I told him that he needs to start helping in the flat and that I want to start going out on dates and try to remember why we got together in the first place. It's been almost 2 years since I left the single life in Manchester to start over again.
This isn't the relationship I had imagined when I started on the dating website scene. I imagined finding someone and going out to the cinema, holidays and romantic dinners. Not working 24/7, not taking care of myself and being treated like a cleaning lady. (I Betty Rage am NOT a cleaning lady!! Not with these nails anyway!!!)
I have given him until June to sort it. Why June you say? Well, if I am going to leave him, I need to start saving some money and get me set up so if I do leave I am prepared. Every woman needs an escape fund, I think. A plan B to make sure that if a nasty surprise happens, you can cope. If Simon and I don't break up well, it's extra money towards a new car (I would like my Mercedes SLK 250 in cherry red...) or a home.
I have also started making provisions in regards to if I were to leave. I am getting someone to look over my CV and to make it look professional and fab. I am focusing on my workouts and my mental health. I have stopped putting him and his needs first. It's liberating!!!
This past weekend, Simon did heed my warning and helped me around the house but he better not take his foot off the accelerator or I am gone.
Yes, 2016 looks set to be one hell of a year. I am excited, scared but ready to strut into the life I have always wanted!!
Until next time Ragers and Ragettes, keep your head and standards high and your heels even higher!
Lots of love
The Fabulous Betty Rage xxx
