try a new sport

Maybe hockey or tennis?

I have weighed 155 lbs most of my life since I was about 13 or 14. I am 22. I never used to consider this fat, but now I see how awful I look. It’s frustrating. After having my son, I weighed 180-something pounds. Nine months later, I am back to 155. I thought I might be satisfied at this weight, but I am not. I am still working on losing weight, but what is really important to me is keeping it off. For this reason, I would like to try a new sport. I want to try lots of new sports, and I want to like one. I want to like one so much that I keep playing it, and by playing sports I hope to stay thinner.

Im getting tired of soccer !

Im open to a new sport and would like to try something new.

Truth is I got bored again and I’m fed up of seing this goal up here untouched.
There was a slim possibility of me joining the badminton club in Swansea but if it happens, it happens. Not fussed.
I’ve been walking a lot more recently and I feel good enough from that.
I just want to keep fit and not feel like a beached whale. That’s all.

I went photographing the beach today and I got ABSOLUTELY SOAKED from the torrential rain showers and HAILSTONES – yes hailstones!!!
I nearly walked straight back to the car but I thought blow it! When was the last time I made the effort to come down the beach – and I really wanted to get some good photos. So I looked at it as though I Was just experiencing the elements – so what if my trousers got completely wet and flapped about my legs!!!
I had my coat with a hood so that sufficed. I bloody enjoyed it – thinking about it now, sat here in my dressing-gown at home with the heating on!!
I think I did get some good photos – and there was this weird chap jogging in his SHORTS. haha
After the beach debacle I walked into town – probably a good mile away. By the time I got there my trousers had dried out. I bought some food and loitered around some new stores that have opened there in the time I have been trying to avoid the city centre. I couldn’t help but get annoyed with the hoards of rude people again, so when I felt my blood pressure rising, this time I just headed back for the University, and my car.
I walked through the park first, getting some more photos of well-fed ducks on the pond. Well-fed, coz I’d just thrown half a bag of bread at them.
I’d been rained on once again just before getting back to the car – so I got soaked all in all, twice today.
Home was a hot shower and a nice steaming mug of tea before retiring to the old workhorse (the computer) and finalising my job application.
Now it’s done and I’m satisfied!
Dinner consisted of sausages, Gower new potatoes, cabbage and carrots.
May I just take this time to advocate the copious consumption of Gower cabbage which is as crisp and fresh as, I don’t know what is that crisp and fresh these days! That is why it is so damn good!
All in all – an excellent day with plenty of fresh air, not listening in lectures, and photographs.

but I did some more of the Internet Comms assignment instead – so I was doing something useful.
Think I’m going to turn into an onion bhaji instead while I swot for the next year to get a first class!

Fancied trying something new. I hope I have enough courage to take myself along to the sports hall tomorrow to try this one out.

...but I went today…HOORAY.
I felt brilliant after coming out of the pool. YAY.
Here’s to another lengthy dose of swimming sessions.

swimming has gone to pot this week. The pool has shitty opening times, I can’t fit it in with the temp job I have this week…
I’d prefer to go for the 4 mile walk every other evening but it keeps raining…bah humbug.
Next week it’s all change again. See if I can devise a new timetable for slotting in swimming then…
