Operation Roxy - In Progress

On The Move

This will be not only my last post for 2007 but my last post for Operation Roxy. I will return no doubt but it is time for a fresh start. I cannot ride on the successes of my past because they are well behind me.

I can't continue with Operation Roxy when I can't get my beloved jeans past my knees now.

Unfortunately I don't know how to wrap things up here. 2007 bought me happiness and heartache.

I started working at Fitness First in March and took the step from Membership Consultant to Senior Membership consultant quickly. I was hoping I would have been an Assistant Manager and Club Manager by now but nope that's where things have stalled. I'm sure it's not too far off. I enjoy my time there and I must say even though I am working some stupidly long hours, the staff there are a tight knit bunch (those that survive anyway) and I have never associated or become such good friends with people I have worked with before as I have there.

Not long after I started at Fitness First I found my ankles which had been giving me trouble for years on and off really started kicking up a stink. I tried a podiatrist, and physio for about 6 months before seeing a sports physician as there was no improvement. An MRI discovered that I had "disintegrated" the tendons and ligaments in my left ankle and the surgeon said it was like a tent with no guideropes. I'm now trying to get on a waiting list for surgery but the public system is disgusting. I haven't even seen outpatients yet and they have had a referral for months. I fear a 2 year wait.

This has played havoc with my emotions (everydy life being difficult to extremely difficult at times) and ongoing from that my weight has skyrocketed and I am HUGE which leads to depression which leads to further weight gain. Arghh bad cycle.

I'm fairly determined to fix it though. I have been doing alot of preparation in the last week or two to help me get back into it like I used to be in January. I turned 27 this past weekend and I had a bit of a breakdown yesterday which was probably mostly hormonal but also had a lot to do with weight issues, and where I am in life in comparison to where I think I should be by now.

Good luck to everyone in 2008! I pray 2007 treated you well and 2008 is truly magical.

I haven't yet decided whether my new blog will be password protected or invite only or totally open so leave me your email if you wish to keep reading just in case.
