Today was windy. The weather is much milder than it has been of late - 12 degrees when I went out to the surgery for an appointment about my eyes and to collect our prescriptions. Vision in my right eye is deteriorating - most likely the cataract; needed a referral letter back to Barnet Hospital. Do I try to be brave (a useless exercise last time) or go for a general this time? Ocado phoned whilst waiting for the prescription and said they were at the door - early by an hour and would wait for me :-) Saves me wasting (working) time wandering round the supermarket. Haggis with mash and swede tonight (mmmm, yummy) - there goes the healthy eating... a bit late for Burns night but thank you Ocado for the ready mash and swede - just as good as home made! Oh the joys of fast food :-)
Jon out singing this evening so decided to start a BLOG - mainly so that I can update wonderful Joe with all the boring irrelevant things we're doing in this little corner of the world without taking over his amazing ShaolinQuest blog. Took me a while to find a free Mac app and it seems Google is it :-)
Still sore today from our amazing Beagle walk on Sunday - glorious weather in the Lea Valley Park. Balls of feet feeling all the stones (oh hell I've worn out my running shoes :-( ) and then there's the KNEES. My knees do not appreciate the weight I'm dragging around... Here's Lilly's new car (she's that petite little person with the pink socks delving in the boot) - it's absolutely perfect for family + dog, or should that be a doggie family :-). Here's Conor as well, Jon taking the picture.
Speaking of which I am seriously starting to think about long-term solutions to my weight problem - otherwise I'll be joining the ranks of the over 60's with walking sticks in the doctor's waiting room.
Took me 2 years to lose my weight 10 years ago - 2 to maintain it (hungry most of the time) and then 5 to slowly and inexorably put it all back on again...
I've been trying to tell myself that I should just accept me the way that I am, but it's the PAIN... my dainty little feet and my knees are not agreeing with me. Every time I walk anywhere I'm aware I'm struggling with aches. Every time I look at steps and stairs I groan. Been struggling with my weight and diets since I was 20 but when I dream I'm always a slim person never fat. Odd, isn't it. There's a little me in there somewhere trying to get out, the one that used to run through the house instead of walk because it was just more fun :-)
