"My zippers bust, my buckles break..."

I apologise for once again not blogging for ages.  I have been trying to sort out the un-fun task of finding permanent work and it's been getting me down a bit, so didn't want to really bring that on to my blog.  But I'm back baby! : )


                                                                      ------------------


So I decided to to my bit for Scope the other day by filling up one of their charity bags for collecting.  I knew I had a reasonable amount of stuff that I had to get rid of and now seemed the perfect time to sort it. On top of all the random household stuff they are interested in, the main things that I can normally supply is clothes and shoes - mainly cos I love shopping and I always have things I have been meaning to get rid of for ages.


My aim was to get rid of items from my drawers and Wardrobe on top of the four pairs of shoes I was already going to donate.  Well, that landed up being a mammoth task.


I have been working recently but it's kind of like one week of ridiculous hours followed by a free week with no work, so my eating habits have been up the spout.  I knew I'd put on a bit of weight (not overly look wise, but just in how I feel), but it was obviously slightly more than I thought.


I landed up throwing out a massive bag of stuff!  Suddenly half of the clothes I haven't really been wearing don't fit at all.  I had dresses with like a 2inch gap at the top of the zip, trousers that wouldn't go on and a few really nice items that I know won't fit again.  It was devastating!  I'm not one to become sentimental about items, but I think it was more my youth fading away with me.  Lots of people put on weight or change shape around their thirties, but I just didn't see it coming!


Luckily, I did some decent me shopping at Xmas, so I am not without clothes, I am just getting older : (
So unfortunately this now means the inevitable - exercising!  One of my least favourite things to do.  I think it is because I used to be really fit and toned as a youngster and when that went, it was too difficult to get back to what I used to be.  The other problem is due to the lack of routine with work, I can't do exercise on the same times/days each weeks, which makes it hard to motivate myself.  Maybe I should just finish my chocolate eggs first (yummy) and then go back to fitness, otherwise it is seriously a lost cause.  So until they are finished.... : )
