I must start writing more often. Not another thing to beat myself up about (though I guess my post title would indicate otherwise) but more because it actually helps me to have an outlet, and to get myself motivated again.
Today I really shocked myself - and that takes some doing these days. I went to the gym and did a half-hearted work out, knowing I was going to return later, and then met a friend for a 'walk'. I am always told I walk really fast so expected more of a stroll with my friend (who is a good 30 years older than me). Think again, Last Shot. We walked at my kind of pace for 2 hours - the last hour being uphill, and a steep, winding, long hill through fields and rough terrain. I actually felt ok for the most part until the last half hour or so, which was the toughest bit, where I started to see stars in my eyes (that sounds so rubbish but I know what I mean!). It was nice to spend some time with my friend and out of my head, but I'd be lying if I weren't more 'excited' about the exercise. I got home and ate (which I HATE) and then was so wiped out I went to bed. And I could not get up again. I was so very tired and achey and just had the heaviest head and body. I have not made it back to the gym. I feel rubbish and fat and obese and disgusting. But equally I am still too tired to really move.
And I am shocked because I am not even at a very low weight. I have eaten. And it was just a walk. So, WTF?!
Tomorrow I want to start a proper eating plan - lunch and super and a snack in between. Tomorrow I want to do proper exercise. Tomorrow I want to feel ok again. And tomorrow I want my GP appointment to be ok and me not leaving feeling like the worst person in the world - not my GP's fault, just me misinterpreting and twisting everything, I hope.
Tomorrow I want to not fail at writing, at eating according to my plan (which I must write tonight) and not to fail at exercising sufficiently and properly. And this will not be the tomorrow that never comes.
