  • Thanks TDQ, will keep that in mind and eat more, cant afford to buy a whole new wardrobe in a smaller size :rotfl: its funny how MSE affects your decision making process after a while.

    Hi Makeup, yes it is, I havent decided at the mo wether I should have my white wobbly stomach out on show for the world to see, Gok style, or if I should do something cunning with fringing?

    Jacks - that is a painfully early time to be awake!

    Shopping in London tomorrow so that should be a good few miles walking....

    Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
    A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

    Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
    A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.

    Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
    A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

    Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
    A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

    Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
    A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain...good!

    Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
    A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

    Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
    A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

    Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
    A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

    Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
    A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

    Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
    A: Hey! 'Round' a shape!

    Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

    And remember:
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

    AND.....

    For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

    1. The Japanese eat very little fat
    and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
    and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
    and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
    and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats
    and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

    CONCLUSION:

    Eat and drink what you like.
    Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

    My Personal favorite :rotfl:

    Ziggles - apparently that is really uncomfortable, so have already ruled that out

    Am in such a funny mood today, cant concentrate, cant finsh a sentence without going off on a tangent - I think I have that Friday feeling, which means I should have a Chunchie, and i dont - bad planning on my part I think!

    If I was doing Moonwalk I would buy white t-shirt and draw a bra on it with fabric pens...no one needs to see my flab....

    SBC - love it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hurrah for weekend. I'm off to Masterchef Live tomorrow. Was supposed to be going with a friend as I'd got the tickets for her Chrissie pressie....however her hubby has swine flu and she has been really worried about catching it (she's pregnant) and also been working from home and being nurse so really tired so has cancelled. :rolleyes: I've roped in another friend to come but I'm going to have to get her something else for Christmas..... luckily I've been careful with presents so far so I'm not horrendously over budget.
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    I know hon - it's demented. (but it works for me!) :rotfl::o

    When I did the moonwalk I wore a borrowed belly dancers bra top over a low cut empire line top with sleeves - to cover flabby arms as well as belly! :rolleyes: :D
