Big decisions on a slow day

Posted on By admin 8 Comments on Big decisions on a slow day

I am getting old.

I woke up this afternoon (yes, afternoon, seeing as I went to bed at 4) all fucked up, mentally and physically. Mostly physically. Last night was… mokay. Had some very fun moments (with cute blonde), a rather weird moment (when cute blonde remembered me from the last time I was there – in january!), and lots of laughs. [info]emjayne was on fire last night, with comments about 80s retro whores in fishnet, full-body jerk-offs and giving prospective club patrons her professional opinion :) I'd have stayed a bit longer at the club, but the others weren't having as good a time as I was, and I didn't mind leaving with the gang to go and meet up with friends of MJ. Sadly, I didn't get [info]ashre79 a lap dance. I think she was weirded out by the whole experience :(

That's where the evening kinda went downhill, IMHO. We got to a little dive of a bar with way too loud music and not enough breathing room. Now I know I'm an old fogey when I realize that my “scene” is the upstairs of a quiet irish pub… eh. MJs friends were a no-show, so we went for food and then headed home. I had a friend fry that did not go over well with my stomach – and I've been kinda burping it ever since. Which brings me to the decisions.

My body is a mess. I just turned 29 and, if I continue on this course, I will not make 30. My cardio is shot, my blood pressure is high, and my stress levels are through the roof. I need to take care of what I eat, in smaller portions. I need to exercise. That last one will be a BITCH!

So… sigh. Starting on monday, I will cut back on the portions that I eat. No more pop. No more salty, fatty snack foods. I will renew my YMCA membership. I need to get my body back in shape… The fact that I'm stressed over the fact that I'm out of shape is making me physically ill. Isn't that a bitch.

  1. Yeah. The next time I see Azin, he's going to get a serious lashing. (whip sound effect) I saw maybe 5 or 6 of his friends at Korova, but didn't know 4 of 'em well enough to say hi, and the others were drunk off their gourds. I liked the place a lot, but am also a fan of the quiet pubs.

    I owe you a beer, birthday boy, I had no idea you wanted to stay at the club for a while longer, you should have said something! :) Us gals tend to get a little jittery and clueless around that much exposed female flesh combined with american/ontarian testosterone…

    As for my being 'on fire', just you wait til you see me drunk! (very very rare)

  2. Hey, no worries about the club. I know Em wasn't having that good a time, so I didn't mind leaving early. I can always go back some other time :P

    Question for you. Do you want to be my lunchtime walkies buddy for the upcoming little while? I was talking to roommate last night and came to the conclusion that taking a 30 minute walk every day would probably be a better way to start getting back into shape. If I go back to the gym now, I'll just be bitter and will end up paying for something I don't use. So what say you?

  3. I think that walking is a highly under-rated form of exercise. I stopped jogging this year after my ankles and knees started protesting most painfully. I've taken to walking at least half an hour everyday and have noticed a definite improvement over the summer. Haven't lost much weight, but am sleeping better, feeling better, and can see the difference when I try on clothes from last fall :)

    I'd love to join you for a lunchtime walk, but can only do this once or twice a week (say Tuesdays and Thursdays).

    I'm sorry Em wasn't having such a good time. Perhaps she'll enjoy Hurley's?
