Thermals

In a bid to get back on the bike I've gone out today and bought some super warm gloves and super warm socks. I will test them out tomorrow before I am too fat to get back on the bike.

Damn weather

What a disaster... weather is going to be horrible for the next 5 days if the BBC website is anything to go by. Even snow by Friday (".)
I'm so sick of it, my ass is growing, I now have 2 chins and I need to get back out on my bike... not least because I am now a "case study"!
It's so depressing (".)

Case Study!!!???

So today, I attended a TWUG meeting (a Two Wheel User Group) at our office. I am one of the reps, we have one for each site. So anyway, I'm just chatting about the shock I got from standing on the Wellbeing Centre and how I can't wait to get back into cycling and they all thought it would be a great idea to have me as a "case study" for the Wellbeing programme.
This basically consists of my "results" being posted and monitored on the company infonet (internal internet) for all to see; so that people can see what a difference it makes to my health (weight, bmi, blood pressure, heart rate etc) between now and the end of the year as I get back into my cycling after the winter break.
That's great! Now everyone is gonna know I'm a fat cow! ha ha. I've told them that they are not doing anything with the info until I'm certain the results are heading in the right direction!

Whoops...

Today I got on the "wellbeing centre" at work, which is basically a machine you stand on and it does all your weight, heart rate, bmi, fat content, blood pressure etc.
So, bearing in mind my "fit weight" is about 11st 3lb (well, I am 6 foot tall so don't gasp with horror just yet!)....
Well... today it's 11st 12lb!!!! (now you can gasp with horror because I did!)
Those darn hills are gonna hurt when I get back on that bike.

3.5k in 30 days

Just seen on the news that there is a bloke who is going to cycle across America in 30 days covering 3,500 miles. That's quite a lot isn't it? wouldn't mind doing something like that, but right now, I don't think I could cycle to work. too much cake over Christmas :)

Even worse...

Since my last blog... I've discovered a fat lump!!! OMG it's like a baby saddlebag... right there on the side of my hip!!!! and it's only on one side, what is that all about????

This is NOT good... it's the kind of lump that's always in liposuction adverts!!!! you know the ones, removal of spot fat that won't go no matter how much exercise you do!

O no! I can't afford lipo, so how the hell do you get rid of that? I mean that calls for serious attention and if I go on a diet to lose weight I'm bound to lose my boobs instead! This is a disaster! plus I've now been on a health kick diet for over a week and I'm starving! I need proper food, not rabbit food.

It's just so hard being a woman! Back to the turbo I suppose, too cold to ride out!

The Definition of Boredom...

3 hrs 50 minutes on the Turbo in a week... and my bloody Christmas cellulite is still there! What's that all about..?? All I ate was 2 boxes of French Fancies, one box of Viennese Whirls (all of which were exceedingly good!) and a few [boxes of] chocolates! o yea, and some chocolate fudge cake and ice cream, amongst some other things that really are so insignificant I can't even remember them!

Really I don't understand it... I thought if you tipped them upside down, the calories fell out?

So now I am paying for it ... with boredom!
