After a “chat” with the wife on Saturday regarding my frame of mind (long boring story of depression/anxiety and low self asteem for the last 8 years) I decided to take some small and tentative steps to get myself back to the Boba Fatt of old. I’ve tried tablets/counselling/new age remedies and although i’m not as bad as I used to be I’m no where near back to normal.
So……today
I got up at a reasonable time
Did not lie in my pit looking at the clock and wallowing in self pity
Had a reasonably healthy breakfast
Took the dog for his morning constitutional
Got changed and went out on the bike, nothing strenuous…..
……12.52 miles later (according to the Endomondo)of “not exactly hilly but enough dirt to keep me happy” cycling later I am absolutely cream crackered, probably a bit dehydrated and in dire need of a shower.
Happy…..oh yes!! First real step I’ve taken in years to try to get healthy again. A lot more steps to take but I am superbly chuffed with myself 😀
Now I’m off to find a biscuit
