Hey everyone thanks for all your posts!
Wow, didn't bank on the discussion the crumpet thing started!
Its like a english muffin only made with more water so has lots of wholes which absorb all the dripping buttery goodness and jam,syrup etc of your choice lovingly
Very true you gotta be careful or you end up using twice the butter oops!!
Hi kezzy. You do have some interesting food in your diary. It's good to keep it varied.
That's true I do like some wierd food sometimes, and some wierd combos of food!
I can relate to the difficulties of working in a place full of unhealthy food. Sometimes your options are limited aren't they? Did you see that America's Biggest Loser that just won at the end of last year? Wow was he working in a difficult environment for an overeater!!
Didn't see it
I work in a mini supermarket. So, to be honest there is healthy food as well as unhealthy, it's not as bad as when I worked in MacDonalds a few years ago!!! But (yeah, here come the excuses) I find it very boring and stressful and by the time I get my break, after five hours of standing at a till doing the same thing over and over again and taking abuse from grumpy customers who don't like queueing (it's the busiest store of it's kind in the UK), it is SO hard to make the right choices!!!
Sorry bout the way I've done the quotes by the way. I haven't worked out how to quote more than one person in one repoly, so I'm just putting [QU OTE] before and [/QU OTE] after so I know it doesn't say who said what but I'm sure you can figure it out!
Hi Kezzy! Hope things are going great for you!!
Thanks BGS!!!
Yay Kez, back on track!
You and I have about the same left to lose. And we're both hoping to make it into an outfit soon.
I'm sure we can do this together!
Thanks Ashley! I sure do need all the help/encouragement/kicks up the backside I can get!!!
Even though im actually english, so it should really be strange, when i hear anyone talk about crumpets i always get the image of some upperclass gentry, or ladies of leisure sat on there lawn eating tea and crumpets, even though i eat crumpets and am not remotely posh.
.....*tumbleweed*.................
Sorry, random thought of mine there
Keep up the good work
Lol this made me laugh!!!
Anyway, I've just got back from the gym, yay I kept my promise!! You know what? I've got over most of the embarrassment factor of going to the gym, after all I have been going for quite a while. I don't really care if people see me get sweaty/use something wrong/see my bum wobbling on the treadmill (eeew!) etc. But there is one thing that still gets me, is that I go REALLY red in the face when I exercise! I guess it's partly coz I'm not the fittest person in the world
and partly coz I have v pale skin. But I'm not just talking a little bit flushed in the cheeks, I'm talking BEETROOT red, and patchy and I get quite embarrassed esp when walking around, walking home form the gym etc. It is not enough to stop me going of course (although there was a time in my life where it probably would have been!) But it is a bit annoying!
I did a really hard workout today. I was determined to burn 500 calories, which probably takes me longer than it would the average gym-goer, and so I was adding up all the calories I'd burned (the machines tell you) as I went round, and at the end I was on 480 and shattered. And I was like NO I WILL do it all the way! So I jumped right back on the cross-trainer for 2 minutes just so I can put it down as a nice round number in my journal tonight! Anyway, I was kinda proud of that, little thing though it may be. Determination, one calorie at a time, yay!!!
Anyway, gonna get going now and visit a few of your diaries, and pay it forward!!
