I’ve been going to this fitness centre for 5/6 months, training 3 times a week and really sweating my bollocks off. Anyway, Tim my trainer, weighed and analysed me at the beginning and a week last Friday. What was the result of my 6 month slog. Nothing, sod all. Not one gramm lost not one knob of lard has been turned into muscle. I tried to put a positive spin on it. I drank and ate well and didn’t put on an ounce. Tim has now been put me on another regime. At the end of my normal routine, I have to put this heart measurement strap on and jump on a machine of torture. I then should keep my heartbeart at 150bpm for 25 minutes. In addition, I didn’t drink any beer over the last weekend, Actually it wasn’t a problem to lay off the booze. Surprisingly I was quite happy drinking tea and listening to music. I woke this Monday morning expecting to be cheerful and full of life after the beer free weekend. No, it was still a miserable experience. I better lose some weight after putting myself through this hell. Hmmm…those chocolates look good over there.

As an expert on losing weight fast, and then putting it back on almost as quickly – I have to say in my case the sport I play doesn’t have that much impact on my belly. I remember a few years ago I did a season of coastal rowing which nearly killed me, with regular training and so on.
Problem was, after the races I would scoff down about 20 burgers and hotdogs, and then sink endless sickly English lagers.
Not good for losing weight, that.
You’ved just got to go herbal, I reckon.

I used to be a keen smoker. These days I turn green when I take a single puff. Plus I’m not convinced about the health benefits of smoking.

As I remember teh Krauts are prolific puffers….can’t go into any decent pub or cafe without having to wade through huge plumes of cigarette smoke.
How is it in the Half-Kraut communtiy?

Leave the vicar alone. He does a good BBQ, for which we are all grateful.
