UGH

I'm at a bit of an all time low. I look terrible, feel terrible and can't get my butt in gear. These pictures are really bumming me out, but I'm posting them to (hopefully) remind myself in a few weeks how bad things got. Just 4 months ago I was about to run a marathon and on top of the world fitness wise. Now I struggle through personal training sessions, wake up shattered and never, ever run. Not even the prospect of a holiday next month is motivating me to begin exercising and looking after myself. Work wise things are not much better, but I'm not really a liberty to write about that so you'll just have to guess how dire things are. I can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel and my usual resources are not kicking in. Can anyone recommend a way to restart that only takes a weekend (no holiday pay for me) and might recharge me?

CRITICAL MASS

My outfits have all been pretty basic recently. I've definitely lost the art of dressing up. I think it's partly I've been so busy and also...whisper it...I'm getting fat. I've not been looking after myself (virtually no running or gym and living on takeouts and peanut M&Ms) and it's got to the point where I feel decidedly uncomfortable in my own skin. It's not Channel 4 documentary stuff yet but all my clothes feel slightly ill fitting and my favourite dresses are pulling more across the bust. If I know you in real life and turn down the chance for many drinks or dinner at Bodeans for about the next month you know why - hopefully I won't end up as bad as my Marathon hermit life earlier this year.
