dont give up

Met two lovely ladies in the gym they had been sent by their GP's, one was really chatty.

She was 60 years old, had heart trouble, one steel knee and had surgery on the other, and has a colostomy bag, and she was a terrible flirt with Ste, the hunky trainer!!

She had me in stitches.

No matter what life throws at you, never give up, as there is always someone with worse problems than you.

I feel so much better after going, and am looking forward to my next trip!!

Yeah, me, looking forward to going the gym??? Yeah I never though I would say that either!!! LOL

bah humbug

Have been out with someone I thought was a mate. We went to one of those 'all you can eat' buffets.

She sees them as a challenge. Today she really gorged herself. It was quite sickening to be honest. She then spent half an hour in the loos. It turns out, her doc had given her xenical, and she sees it as a licence to eat as much as she wants, and still be able to lose weight. She was rather nasty when her boyfriend asked her to cool it.

She also said that she would be at my home at 9.30am in the morning, and we would go power walking. This is something she arranges regularly since christmas, but has only been 3 times so far.

I have just been into my emails, and there is one from her, demanding to know what tablets I was taking, as I couldnt possibly have lost so much weight on my own.

Arrgghh!!! Just cos she doesnt show, doesnt mean I didnt go out walking. I am careful with what I am eating, and stop when I feel full.

she went on to say that her boyfriend thought I was looking good, and have obviously put in some hours working out.

She has a serious issue at the moment, but I dont know where to turn to get her help. It is apparent that her GP is useless, if he gave her the tablets. Her boyfriend said that she has told the GP she is trying her hardest to lose weight, and nothing works, He did all the usual blood tests, said her cholesterol was 7.9, and she said it runs in the family!!! Thats when he gave her the xenical!

I really dont need this crap, and feel unable to spur her on anymore. I am hitting my head against the wall with her.

Also she said that she had tried the WW chat boards, but didnt get any usable advice, and was accused of being a troll cos she disagreed with someone!!

I wont tell her that I am a frequent visitor to the chat boards!! LOL

the gym

Well, I went the gym, yeah, I know what you mean, Ann and the gym, never in a million years, but I did go.

And loved it!!!

Got a very hunky trainer, Ste, who was lovely.

He had me in stitches, especially when lying on my front, with these boobs, I just couldnt get my chin down to the floor, he threatened to sit on my back if I didnt, I tried telling him it just wasnt going to go, when he got down on the floor at the side of me, and said 'yeah, I can see your problem'.

Well, off I went again, and I dont know if my ribs are hurting from laughing or the exercises.

I did the rower, 1000 metres, did 20 mins on the bike, and what nearly killed me, 10 mins on the cross trainer. I thought my knees were going to pop!!!


Oh well, am going friday afternoon, would go tomorrow but it is Vinnie's funeral.

what a prat

Yep, me!!! Cant believe the idiotic things I have done!!!

I will learn along the way, how to input pics in here, when I get the courage to do it.

I see so many with their pics, and wonder why cant I post some?? But there again, I have always been camera shy, from being a little girl, my Dad used to say I was re-incarnated Red Indian, thinking white mans magic box was going to steal my soul. not that I have that left, I sold it!!! pmsl

You will get used to my humor along the way, and the fact that I am the first to put myself down.

So here we go, after another blip on the journey, I am getting my sad act together!!! LOL
Thought I had lost this. flippin heck, how can you lose a blog FFS!!!!

Have plucked up the courage and joined the gym today, the induction is wednesday. No excuses now, I need to get this weight off.
