The fact that I’m a lazy sod, is no secret; and that I try to find any excuse not to exercise. Problem is, by giving into my lazy side and looking for excuses, I’m allowing my weight to slowly start creeping up, the very thing I vowed I wouldn’t let happen.
Nevertheless the weight has been slowly creeping up, 200 grams at a time, but it’s been going up. Annoyingly just when I started to do something about it, the cold snap hit, and yes, I found an excuse not to go out and exercise. So, on goes another 200 grams.
It may not seem like a lot but if the weight goes up but 200 grams, then stabilises at that number, then another 200grams, well before you know it, you’ve gained 3kgs (6lb), which is exactly what happened. And then once again, just as I started to do something about the new gained pounds…. I got struck with a mysterious foot pain, which is very likely going to turn out to be gout, once my doctor is done with prodding me all over the place. The problem with that is, that for nearly a week I could barely put any weight on my foot, let alone do any kind of exercise.
So… …. so well thankfully I didn’t gain more weight, because I have become very conscious of what is happening, and probably the most determined I have been to date to deal with my soaring numbers. I got onto my food regime pronto… stopped snacking on chocolate at every opportunity. Yes chocolate! – I know I was trying to give it, clearly I failed. But having a quick re-group, I reorganised my snacking back to a piece or 2 of chocolate once a day in late evening, not 10 times a day every time I passed the bowl. Thankfully this has been to pay off already.
I have a long way to go. I’m at that point right now which, when my numbers were going down, I had to get a new wardrobe. Thus, if I allow my numbers to go up any more, I will be forced to get a new wardrobe again, only this time, it’ll be back to bigger clothes sizes.
And I’m not having that, not having that at all. Since my foot began to feel better, I’ve been more active around the house, and from tomorrow I’m off to do some proper walking exercise, and start building in some strength training to get those muscles toned up again, and burning calories.
I know I keep saying it, and said it several times before, but I honestly feel like this is it. Either I do it… or it’s backing to being fat.
