This was July 6th 2021
I blame work. I totally, totally blame work. Nothing at all to do with my motivation (or lazy aspect of my personality, whatsoever. No). It’s all because of work. (let’s continue to live in denial, for a little longer, shall we)
The recent resurgence in doing the HIIT sessions lasted all of 3 weeks – before, yes, indeed, work picked up so much, that my companions and I had no time for exercise again. I’m never gonna get to my next weight goal if things keep carrying on like that. At this rate, I’m just grateful I’m not piling the weight back on, and managing to keep it off – though that’s not without hard work either, and I have gained those couple of pounds at the Lakes (that link is for those non-UK readers who might not know what the hell I’m talking about). But I so, so, so, want to get to my next weight goal. Why is it so hard?!
In truth I do blame work this time round. All 3 of us were committed to doing this – re-instigating our exercise quorum, and not allowing work to get in a way – and look what happened. Honestly.
Disappointed in myself too, if I’m honest. Because, also, in truth I could find time at some other point of day do to the HIITs. I mean it’s 25 minutes out of the day – really not a great amount of investment, for what is a really big pay-off. It’s not like I have rush home after work and get organised either – I can get myself into HIIT outfit as get out of bed. Plus we managed to do it last year, during one of the busiest periods in the project delivery schedule. Just shows how much I hate exercise – doesn’t it. I’m not gonna lie. I hate exercise. I’ve been very honest about it from the beginning. And also, how bloody lazy I am. Denial is so much easier – no effort at all.
Maybe I should write about my journey of learning Chinese instead. That’s going much better. 441 days and counting, and able to hold my own in a basic conversation now. 好的, 还有 我不喜欢运动。 It does make me question why I have motivation one one thing and not the other, especially as there is no reason for me to learn Chinese, other than I want to understand what the heck I’m watching on Netflix without having to read the subtitles. And I do now, really do – really proud of myself. If only I could do the same with exercise…………………….
I swear, one day I’m going to make an entry in this blog that says I DID IT. Got to my next weight goal. God only knows when though.
Damn it.
B******s.
Humph
Ahhhhhh sigh
By the way – if you’re new to this whinge fest of mine, and don’t really care about reading past entries to see how it all started – here’s a link to just one previous entry. It’s one of the most liked entries on my whiney whingey weight loss journey. When I was feeling hot, hot, hot…back in September 2021.
