My girlfriend edit: wife (must remember that now!) seems to do nothing except 1) stress at work all day and 2) lie around on the couch like a big sexy cat all evening, and yet (thankfully) she maintains a nice slender figure and never seems to get injured.
I exercise at any given opportunity and end up with endless **** injuries that eventually just prevent me exercising until I start getting fat.
Case in point the last three months:
– join spin class and pay for 8 spins up front
– herniate disc
– abandon spin classes
– recover from herniated disc
– devote more time to hiking
– numerous knee injuries (not helped by ill-advised skiing attempts on stag-do)
– recover from knee injuries
– focus on swimming to get a bit stronger
– massive upper back spasm!
– recover from upper back spasm
– return to swimming
– await next stupid injury
Although if I’m being honest my coping strategy has been to insert
– craft beer
between every step 😳 / 8)
I’ve lost the will to actually be fast or fit now and just want to focus on not getting visibly fatter!
