couch plonking

we're having such a long, glorious, indulgent and luxurious summer. it's all about the sunshine hours, decadent food offerings, and my personal cocktail waiter.

my gym subscription finished three months ago, and since then i have been for a grand total of four runs around the block. my sneaky suspicions about becoming a faht luhmp (the h's make those words sound like i have a posh blighty accent) were confirmed this morning when i coughed up eleventy billion bucks to hop on the scales at... the beloved gym. yep, i decided that i am naff at running and need gym classes to trick motivate me to moooove. cos five nasty kilos have wound themselves back around my expandingness, and i have 4% more body fat than three months ago. plus, my abs are not P!NKish at all.

but it's not all doom and gloom. it turns out that i can swap carbs from my dinner plate for a glass of wine...

    mm like that idea bout substitutions. I think I will try that one - don't worry my friend - you will be 5 kilos lighter in no time and it's only numbers

  2. Spuds or wine? Hmm. That's a tough choice...! ;-)

  3. hhhm, i was thinking that should be whine, but maybe that's what happens if you keep the pohtaytoes on the plate and do away with the wine? x go the wine x

  4. Cutting out wine doesn't work. Believe me - I was drinking stacks in December and I haven't drunk anything for 23 days now. And have I lost weight? No! I am eating the same stuff. So don't bother.

    Beer is not good for weight.

    I am sure that just doing the exercise will be enough.

    Good luck with those, um, runs.
