So as mentioned, signed up to Weight Watchers. Also as expected, finding it very difficult to eat as much food as they want me to. I seem to have increased my eating by quite an amount, and I'm at a loss as to how this is going to lead to shedding pounds. We'll see I guess.
Didn't get to the gym yesterday. Was on my way home from shopping when a car nearly swerved into me in my lane. Saw why, there was a cat in the middle of his own lane, and it'd been hit. I suppose I should see the positive that drivers were at least avoiding it, but noone was stopping to help. As a cat owner myself I rapidly U-turned and pulled up behind the poor chap. I had expected it to be dead, and my plan was to simply block it off and go door to door to try and find the owner. As I got out though it started to move and rolled over. Panic mode engaged. In a stroke of coincidence, there's a late night vet not far from where we were so I bundled the poor moggy (a large long haired ginger and white male) into my car and raced to the vet. Sadly it appears he passed away during the journey :(
He was microchipped, so at the very least the vet was able to contact the owner (there's nothing worse than not knowing what happened to your pet). She asked if I wanted to leave my details, and for some reason I agreed. The whole incident really got to me, especially the way noone would stop to help. A few hours went by in the evening and I was just starting to settle when I got a phonecall, it was the owner. She was expectedly in tears and horrendously upset, which set me off again too. I've been in her position, and could only imagine what she was feeling. She was thanking me for trying to help. Only wish I could've got him there sooner.
Hitting the gym shortly. I've got a stinking cold on top of still feeling a little fragile (so sue me, I'm a cat person, it got to me). Will see how I get on, but going to give it my best.
