Bloody hell!! What happened to November and December? Suddenly its 2020 and I should have become Vegan, ditched alcohol, taken up meditation, committed to running a marathon, given up sugar, signed up to a new fitness plan….. of course I have done none of the above… yet…
Instead I have continued to drink far too much red wine, how can anyone face dull January without the thought of a large glass of Merlot at the weekend, or a bottle (or two) of fizz on Friday with friends? I have continued to eat mince pies (37pence for a box in Tesco), you can’t take a lass out of Yorkshire!! and I still have chocolates to consume. I’m just being sustainable, by not having any food waste! Life is whizzing by and I intend to enjoy every bit of it, as much as possible. So here are a few of my resolutions :-
- Try (really do try) and only drink at the weekends – even if you have had the crappiest day at work ever (that’s Monday – Thursday) – waiting until Friday is worth it (I’m trying to convince myself that it is). Does eating left over liquor chocolates on a Monday ever count?
- Exercise as much as possible, this includes spending 20 minutes trying to fasten your jeans after December indulgences. Chasing the cat around the house, because he’s got a huge lump of pooh on his arse and you need to cut it off before he sits on your cream carpet. I’ve found that one of the best types of involuntary exercise is visiting Aldi, first there is the car park, designed like the store, not quite big enough and full of people who cant drive or push a trolley. Secondly there is the shit aisle when there’s a good offer on, trying to find it in the beautiful ‘display’ bins, and then the panic when the stock is low (arm wrestling for anti-aging cream with a 20 stone, tattooed woman isn’t recommended). Once you have actually filled your basket (just a few ‘bits’ ie cheese, alcohol, parma ham, candles and the offer – not forgetting meaty sticks for the cat). Lastly the till … sweating profusely as you try and fill your bag for life at the speed till, and paying in 10 seconds, before you induce pure hatred from other customers in the queue. This is called HITAS (high intensity training ALDI style) and you don’t even need to wear trainers….
- Do try and change your resting bitch face in meetings to ‘yes, that’s a great idea face’ even though you know its the biggest pile of crap you have heard…. why would someone with 30 years experience possible know what’s right?….Practice saying ‘I told you so’ in a positive and proactive way… (after said idea didn’t work out…).
- Write more….
