"Fat to Fittie"

I’ve been struggling to write recently, two reasons, not much time and no inspiration, the two go together, because as I’ve been so busy, mostly working in my garden, I’ve not done much of anything else, so therefore haven’t experienced what life throw’s at us. The reason I’ve been active is I’m trying to get jobs done before I have my much anticipated operations, hopefully I’m back on the waiting list and as I’ll be laid up for weeks, need to get stuff done because I know the stress of looking at unfinished work will be horrendous. Because of this, I’ve hardly been out anywhere, shopping, see my mam, haircut once a month and that’s about it, to write about life you have to experience it, not wake up each morning hoping it’s going to be sunny, so you can work in the garden all day. True, the days have not been without various incidents, but who wants to hear about rocks rolling on my toes, tumbling into the pond, or discovering my boxer shorts are see through when wet, okay the last one might warrant an explanation, but let’s just say the lady walking past with her dog as I got out of the water, wasn’t looking at the rocks I’d just placed around the edge of my new water feature when she glanced down.

I am enjoying making my front garden look good and it’s certainly beneficial for my mental health, but I’m also aware it’s really all I’m doing and I need to get back into the routine I used to have, easier said than done. I know I’m not alone and there are many people who seem to just go through the same motions each day, whether it’s going to work or sitting watching daytime telly all morning, it can be hard to break the cycle and do something different. Maybe it’s because I’m a lot slower and can’t work as much as I used to, but I look at all the jobs I’ve done around the house and think “how the frig did I manage that”? Not sure if my past achievements inspire or fill me with more anxiety, but the truth is, until I get my operations, I’m just going to be able to do less and less, so it’s a bit of a no brainer, getting this fat, useless body operation fit, should be my main goal.

So what’s the plan? well I guess in order to get back a routine, I need to do something I did before on a regular basis, swimming defiantly has to be on the agenda, but as much as it pains me to admit it, going back to fat club is top of the list. Apart from helping me lose weight, it’ll give me more material for my blog, always guaranteed something to take the piss out of. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone I know has stuck with it and if they’ve lost any weight, or are they still blaming their overactive thyroid for piling on 3 stone and saying it’s their husband’s fault for buying a family size bar of Dairy milk that they ate in one go. Hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll have plenty to write about and if your wondering what it was that prompted me this morning, that’s easy, it’s raining.
