Gosh I'm so tired
May. 1st, 2007 07:02 pmAs I think I mentioned before, I'm currently working a bit on my figure, doing exercises or running regularly, taking care of what I eat and so on, following a 30-day plan.
Some time last week - and that was on day 7, I think - I weighed myself and found I had lost two whole kilograms - I believe that would be roughly four pounds.
Which was quite cool, even though partly due to losing water through sweating.
Anyway, being rather thrilled by the previously unseen numbers on my scales, I pushed on merrily.
Today, the plan called for some rather light exercises and said not to eat anything for the three hours after that. So to keep myself out of the way of food, I decided to take my bike out. And so I wouldn't be tempted, I didn't take any money.
So, while I was merrily on my way, I came upon several signposts giving different options of routes to take, and decided to follow one that happened to be - which I knew - going to a town roughly 30 kilometres away from here.
And being stubborn, I of course had to get there once I decided to take that route.
Going down was fine, but coming back was fighting for every metre. Especially when my body started protesting against the lack of water - I hadn't originally planned for a long trip and therefore had not taken anything to drink, neither did I have money to buy anything.
I've never been so glad to make it home. I had to walk parts of the way not because the path was going up too steeply to drive, but simply because I was afraid I'd fall. Low blood pressure. Not that I didn't know that was a possibility. I just didn't think of it before I started out.
Well, the whole trip took ages. I took about one hour and 45 minutes to get there and maybe 2 and a half to get back, at least.
And I am so bloody exhausted I can barely sit in my chair. Since four o'clock or so I've been pondering going to bed, but I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and then be awake for hours, which would mean I'd be useless at work tomorrow. So I fully intend to last until eight or so.
I also just ate a quite a bit of chocolate which will likely ruin any positive effects, calorie-wise, of my crazy tour. Oh well, a diet that doesn't let me sin once in a while is one I'd never ever be able to stick to.
