I don't need any encouragement at all regarding chocolate i'm still eating those 100g bars EVERY day I had hazlenut last night for a change and i've got a caramel bar in front of me and a whole bag of chocolate werthers have'nt opened them yet just had brekky hehe its a habit i've got to break and hopefully next week when i'm at the new job there won't be a shop nearby to nip into can't believe that weight is stable to be honest I should be gaining but i'm thankful not to be its about five weeks until my birthday and I don't want to be this fat then so start nagging!!
Sorry to change the subject but I just checked the entry listings for the 5k I plan to run in May and my entry has been accepted! The listing is here Cotton Row 5k 2006 and there I am at the top of the list!! No backing out now, the money has been paid.
I've been relatively restrained with chocolate recently, since I started the great flapjack experiment I've had so many of those to test that I've not had room for chocolate!
I went to pizza express for lunch today, but didn't eat too badly. I've just had a pasta salad and I might have some soup later if I'm still hungry because I'm cooking up a batch for the week.
The gym was deserted this morning, must have been wih the clocks changing. I did 8k on the treadmill in 45 minutes, I've done 19.5 miles since Saturday That's nearly it though, I'm resting up before my 10k on Sunday after Wednesday's run.
I was considering walking part of the way home from work through the park tonight with the clocks changing, but it started raining so I got the bus instead. Kylie - I blame you for giving me the idea!
Right fine, you can blame me, you've got me training for 10k runs, so I guess I deserve it.
I went to the gym on the way home, it was busy, but most of the guys were very cute, so I was happy! Give me a treadmill by the weights area and I'll run along like a happy hamster for hours!!!
Home to a weird prok and vegetable rice dish that I chucked together. It was very nice.
No walking tomorrow morning, it's swimming instead. I like this exercising in the morning lark. And it's all Janey (DippyChip's) fault!!! I like getting to the evening and I can go to the gym because I want to not because I have to, as the exercise has been done for the day. One concession, I have to have breakfast before I leave the house though, I couldn't wait til I got to work, or I would eat a commuter!
Kylie, I have a mental image of you running round and round in a little hamster wheel ogling all the fit guys. If it gets you running and in shape, it can't be bad.
I like exercising in the morning too - a) I feel virtuous, and b) any exercise I do later is a bonus, not an unavoidable chore.
Enjoy your breakfast - gotta protect the poor commuters!
I'm feeling a bit tired from running and kickboxing last night on top of the weekend's lack of sleep! We were asleep in bed by 9.30!!!!
Had a goodie eating day yesterday, with 2 pieces of BIG NUTS chocolate. No kidding! Today I've brought a white chocolate Easter bunny with me to work, something tells me he won't be making it home...
Just a little run at lunch planned, then kickboxing tonight - I'd better get my caffine quota in so that I can stay awake!
Not too much else going on in the world... Just bundle me up in a blanket and sit me in a corner to doze off!
Oh yeah, it must be spring, the squirrels are shagging this morning....
Oh dear me, I'm having unclean thoughts about poor lickle squirrels now. We don't have any squirrels about yet.
I've had my swim, now I'm here in sunny Salford watching the world go by my desk, spose I should do some work, the phone hasn't rung yet.
I'm attempting to give up caffeine. I bought some Yogi tea which is caffeine free and quite nice. It doesn't need sweetening either, so perhaps I can give up caffeine AND added sugar!
I just had a lemon/lime jaffa cake. They're horrible, don't do it!
Oh yeah, it must be spring, the squirrels are shagging this morning....
Yup - there's a lot of it going on. All the wild birdies and bunnies are going for it as well. Even the ***** across the road (the dog, not the owner) has come in to season and every unneutered dog for miles have barked all night - even mine, who have had the chop, are getting restless.
Oh funny - as I've mentioned before, my neighbours are chavs - and the female one has an orange perma-tan. I think its the bottle kind rather than the sunbed sort but she stopped me this morning to ask me where I've been going to get my tan. I didn't realise I'd developed one! When I told her that I must have got it from walking the dogs on the Moors she asked me where the Moors are! I wouldn't mind but she's got a gate in her back garden opening on to them as well. D'oh! (I'll be glad when they've moved, even their kids are turning in to mini chavettes!)
I'm feeling all motivated by the BFL book at the moment! I'm going to try out his cardio thing - but I'm just not sure how to tie it in with dog walking. I can't imagine the dogs being happy with a 20 minute walk!
When I told her that I must have got it from walking the dogs on the Moors she asked me where the Moors are! I wouldn't mind but she's got a gate in her back garden opening on to them as well. D'oh!
Some people! She would probably drive to them as well!
Probably! These are the same people that bought a caravan and parked in in the middle of their back garden for the kids to 'camp out' in! (Sorry to all caravan lovers). They even connected it up to the house electricity and put a gas cylinder in it so the kids could cook - then nearly blew us all up when the kids turned on the gas but couldn't light it so they got bored, closed the door to the caravan and left it for a week. We could smell gas when we were sitting in our garden but couldn't figure out where it was coming from, after all you don't expect a gas leak in the middle of the garden, do you? We thought we'd have to have our garden dug up.
That's what we thought - but they didn't like the idea of the kids 'roughing it'.
Nobody knew it was gas filled until we phoned the emergency gas leak phone number and they sent out a man with a tracker thingy - thats when we found out that the caravan was ready to blow up. Even funnier - their psychotic German Shepherd bit the bloke from the gas company and wouldn't let him back out of the caravan after he'd turned off the gas.
Kevin's always said that there's a weekly newspaper column in it.
The neighbours on the other side (the side that's actually attached to their house) have moved regularly every six months since we've been here. The female chav has decided that their neighbours moving has nothing to do with them being totally obnoxious and screaming at each other and the kids all the time - no - its because the house must be haunted.
God bless your Dad Michele
