Morning all,
A triumph for us fatties at the gym today. I had just started my run on the treadmill when 2 of the beautiful people (you know, the ones with immaculate makeup and earrings!) came on the treadmills next to me. They glanced at me in a condescending sort of way and I smiled sweetly, me being a friendly Northern girl. After 15 minutes they were huffing and puffing and then at 20 minutes they both stopped. Off they went to do synchronised stretching for 10 minutes. I was at 30 minutes by now and just starting my intervals. As they went past me one of them remarked "bloody hell, she's still at it" and the other one said "she's done 30 minutes!". 15 minutes later then went past again and they just stood and stared with their mouths wide open (I was doing a fartlek run at the time). When I finally finished at 50 minutes they were sitting on the steps nearby looking knackered and they both stared at me and one said "Wow, how do you run for so long?" A huge ripple of pride surged through my blubber and I felt great! So come on you fellow fatties, we can still outrun the unfit thinnies if we put our minds to it.
WW, hope your back gets better soon.
EP and Glen, I love running in the rain now, particlularly sploshing in little puddles!
JJ congrats on the weight loss - keep in going.
Sassie good luck (is it Dibley? ;-))
Michelle, how's your head? Have a good run.
Nick,as a child I used to love black pudding but haven't eaten it for many years - particularly since I'm veggie now! Don;t you have any cakes or biscuits in Bury?
EP, I drink loads of herbal tea since I stopped having milk in my drinks. My favourites are green tea or chamomile but I hate peppermint tea, yuk!
Have a good day everyone.
