Hate To Exercise

Back on Track

Back on Track – but only with the dates, not with the exercise LOL

OK. So this is first post that’s new and not-re-written after loosing all the other ones. Ooh I do hold a grudge towards OneNote, still miffed about losing my old notes.

02.02.2022

Went for a run. Well – jog-a-walk-a-run. It was a challenge getting myself out of the house, but I did it. Followed it with my usual recent routine – 2 Taemins worth of bicycle crunches, 1 BTS worth of planks, and 1 Ateez worth of dumbbells. Have a feeling I won’t be able to lift my arms tomorrow – been a while since I worked out with dumbbells.

Today is also day 1 of Christmas cake gone, and as I rummaged through my shelves earlier, I’m definitely running out of sweet snacks now. I’m getting closer and closer to that Giving Up Sugar challenge. Serious, I wasn’t lying the other day – I’m getting withdrawal symptoms just thinking about it.

Now I had a piece of chocolate today (ok, let’s own up – I had a whole Snickers, but it was the last one in the house). Did I actually crave it, or did I have it because it was here. Hmm, I’m not entirely sure……….

Tomorrow will be interesting – there’s definitely less of the sweet stuff around. Will I be able to get through the day, appreciating apples for being apples, or will I start getting tetchy for some C₁₂H₂₂O_11.

I know it’s a mind set. I know it is; and if I tell myself I crave it, I probably will. Yet I managed to pass most of today snacking on mini cucumbers.

Next few days will be interesting.

Fruit Cake

February 2nd 2022

That’s the last of the Christmas cake gone.

Serves me right for making this much cake and organising so much food for Christmas. I’m never gonna do that again. (famous last words)

My scales are not happy with me again ( really have a love hate relationship with my scales – but despite our disagreements, it’s the longest relationship of my life, so you know you got to keep those who’ve been around you for a while, well, around). I’m not happy with me. Suppose it didn’t help that I was having massive big spoons of double cream with the cake.

Well that’s gone now.

There’s still a little bit of chocolate left around, but nothing major, few pieces, odd packet of cookies.

This does mean that I am that one step closer to my latest venture, i.e. giving up sugar for a while. No word of a lie, I’m getting withdrawal symptoms just thinking about it. Shows how bad is my addiction to the sweet stuff. But needs must. I have tackle the latest weight gain for starters. All my own doing, of course. Why did I let myself slip so much in January. I was doing so well – with exercise, with food, everything and during a Christmas period. It’s not been a great start to the year. Let’s just ignore January.

Also stop making excuses not to exercise. Treated yourself to shiny, warm, fleecy, branded sports joggers and hoodie – so can’t make excuses that it’s too cold outside. But it’s the wind. There’ve been storms recently and it’s soooooo windy……………………….

Hate exercise. Hate diets. Hate weight. Hate, hate, hate
