Re: Productive Rainy Sunday (4.00 / 2)

Yep, I'm doing okay, working away at my treadmill to encourage my stomach to shrink. It's disappointing to see how much being ill has taken out of me, I tire easily on the machine so I'm doing lots of short stuff rather one long slog.

I keep looking longingly at my little stock of malty heaven in the back room when I go in there, but I'll get over that in an eon or two.

keep to the Fen Causeway

hang a bottle from a string just out of reach of the front of the treadmill, see if that helps ;-)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

The carrot, but what's the stick? ;-) Sorry Helen, we're only trying to get you to see the funny side. Say stop.

The stick is that I can't have a beer till I lose weight.
