In Which Fatso Sweats Buckets

According to my weather widget, it’s a warm 17°C (63°F) outside. I just got home from my Sunday morning Spinning class, and I still have sweaty hair. To be truthful, I still have sweat trickling from my hair, because inside the room we do Spinning in, it reached 22.5°C (72.5°F). Jenni said they turn the [...]

In Which Fatso Shakes Her Fist At Technology

I used to think I was pretty good at this technology lark. I was the go-to girl when things wouldn’t print at the Topic, for example (because Richard refused to be treated like a computer technician, basically), but lately, with my website being hacked and all, I’m very blah about the whole thing. I went [...]

In Which Fatso Is Breaking Free

A while ago on SparkPeople, there were a few people who were saying, “change your username, it’s quite negative, it’ll pull you down!” and I thought, “But it’s true. I am a fat girl who is going to be slim.” But lately I’ve been thinking… yeah. Maybe they’re right. I’ve had other people calling me [...]

In Which Fatso Makes A Comparison

I’ve talked a little bit about the things that I’ve found myself able to do now that I’ve been A) losing a little weight and B) taking in regular exercise. These things include, but are not limited to: Standing up to do the dishes without having to sit down; standing up to cook; going for [...]

In Which Fatso Maintains

So, birthday week. Traditionally, this is the week where I put on a couple of pounds and curse myself up and down. I went to my meeting tonight with my big sister in tow – Mum has decided to take a month off, because she has been, in her own words, stressing herself silly over [...]

In Which Fatso Has Her Cake (And Eats It Too)

Today is my 27th birthday. I did NOT go to the gym, as I had originally planned, because I went to Spinning class yesterday, and really, today, it’s hard enough just to sit on hard surfaces. I did, however, go to my Weight Watchers class, where I had a minor heart attack because of my [...]

In Which Fatso Spins

I was just in talking to my Mum, about the differences I’m already seeing in myself since I joined the gym in February. Today, I took my first Spinning class, for example. I didn’t manage to finish the whole class, but I managed 30 minutes – which is 10 minutes longer than I last on [...]

In Which Fatso Shaves Her Head

Y’all might have noticed that I’ve stopped with the Beck Diet Solution updates. That would be because I’ve actually stopped paying trying to pay attention to it right now. My first week weigh-in was last night, and when I stepped on the scale, I was just hoping and praying that I’d not gained weight. I [...]

In Which Fatso Gives Herself Credit

So, I went to the cinema today to see Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, which was not as awesome as it could have been. Last time I went to the cinema, I bought a drink. Didn’t have any sweets or anything. But then, last time I went to the cinema was with Mum and Dad [...]

In Which Fatso Babbles

During my massive spending spree at eBay (it wasn’t really massive. I had to sell a lot of stuff, including my busted laptop and my Nikon D40, in order to buy new stuff.) I bought a new pair of trainers. I paid for my new trainers on February 28th, and they still have not arrived. [...]
