Addiction or Habit?

One from February 8th 2022

Well, 2 days without major cake or chocolate in the house and my weight dropped by 3lb overnight – like literally.  

Once again……..I knew/hoped that the recent gain was temporary whilst I dealt with eating too much Christmas cake and other sh*t stuffed and hiding at the back of my fridge.  And the fact that the weight dropped so quickly (ok it wasn’t overnight – it was actually 48 hours), but the fact that it dropped so quickly – just goes to show that it was all quantity over quality. TFFT.    So that’s a bit of a relief.  Now I’m back to May 2021 numbers, and I need to get myself down to my next goal.  That next goal has been avoiding me for a while now – like at least 10 months – little bastard.  Obviously nothing whatsoever to do with my laziness and not exercising as much as I used to, and general abhorrence of shifting my arse off the couch on more regular basis nothing at all……………………. (what’s today’s excuse…..oh yeah, I’m hangover…..)

Today though – I reached for the ’emergency’ chocolate supplies, and I had an epiphany I wasn’t doing it because I craved chocolate or sugar – I was doing it Out of Habit! That’s an interesting realisation. Not quite sure what I’m going to do with it.

On another note – today’s exercise record:

• 4.2km run
• 2 songs – bicycle crunches
• 1 song – planks
• 1 song – dumbbells
• 1 song – skipping rope
• I’m fricking shattered now.

So, you know the cold  legs incident…

I’m definitely convinced now that I’ve not been warming up sufficiently before going for my jog-a-walk-a-run.  There is a marked difference in how my body feels and the response to the cold, if I had a proper semi-exercise session before stepping out of the house.  Not just a few stretches like you see some runners do, when they prep themselves.  No – none of that.  Well, of course it wouldn’t be that easy for me, would it now?  I mean heaven forbid………No, I need to do like proper 30 minutes of warm up, stretches, some jumping around, dancing, etc.  But the difference in my run, the way my legs feel – huge.  The muscles/legs don’t feel so cold, I don’t feel like I’m pushing the limits and hurting myself in the process.  

That’s me sorted then……not only do I have to do fricking exercise, I have to do exercise in order to exercise…..I mean WTF – how is that fair…………. Humph!

😂

Why it is that all my posts recently I littered with song titles of my currently favourite songs. Just about every other word I write, is a title of my favourite track, and it makes me giggle when I come across it in revision. I’m not doing in on purpose – it just happens. Today’s track word was Epiphany. And no, I’m not admitting who the artis is – that’s my secret. 💜(if you know, you know😂)

And another thing – my English is hell of a lot better than it sometimes looks on a page.  But why is it that every time I go over an old diary entry I find it’s littered with typos.  Drives me bananas – I should know better than that.  Really obvious frecking mistakes…….!!!!!!
