I think there’s a lot to be said about going swimming with someone else vs. going swimming alone. Example: Tuesday this week, I went swimming alone, and I did laps in the pool for 40 minutes. Great exercise, sure, but tedious. I mean, the highlight of the night was when Heart Radio played “Flashdance”. Admittedly, [...]

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 Is Enjoying The Weather
According to my weather widget, it’s a beautiful 22°C (72°F) here in Hamilton right now. For us, this is glorious weather. The kids are running about with their shirts off and their super-soaker guns out. The swimming pool was practically empty when I was waiting for the attendants to bring out the spinning bikes this [...]
In Which Fatso Gets Back On The Saddle
This morning, after two weeks of sleeping late on Sunday, I actually got my bahooklie (never sure of the spelling on that one, but the definition is correct) out of bed on time and went on down to the Water Palace, and literally got right back on the saddle. Or, if we want to get [...]
Weekly Weigh-In: May 10, 2010
28st 11lbs -10lb (4.54kg) – 258lbs (117.02kg) to go Yup, same old bat-time, same old crazy bat-lady, same crazy fat bat weight. I don’t know what happened this week, except for the lack of exercise. I know I had two bad nights – one night we had Indian take-away, but I ate less than HALF [...]
In Which Fatso Tests The Water
Okay, so. Four hours of today, spent deleting everything from my domain (including my EMAIL ACCOUNT, for the love of God. WordPress! MySQL servers! EVERYTHING HAD TO GO!) and reinstalling everything. I had a moment of panic when WordPress wouldn’t accept its own export file as an import file, but I just renamed the file [...]
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 Rests
I don’t think I actually mentioned what my plan was for the next two weeks at all. This coming week, it being Easter weekend and all, means that our hall is closed on Easter Monday. This is a pain in the arse, and it also means that, as a Monthly Pass member, I lose exactly [...]
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 Resolves
I’ve just finished my lunch, and am waiting for an hour or so until I head to the gym, otherwise I will regret it. So I thought, “hey, I haven’t actually updated since Monday!” If you read my previous entry, y’all might have noticed that it was my birthday. I probably ate something like 2,000 [...]
