How would she know you do that, is equally weird!

Yon eclipse yesterday morning turned out to be a double eclipse

There really is nothing worse in this world than a shitty toothache

I've ordered the Zombies! game. Need an Unplugged soon!

Agree I had a couple of them last year, my sympathies. Painkillers & cheque book for visit to dentist

My plan for the day:

Fun

If you organise it, they will come.

(Seriously though, someone should organise one, I think Curiosity is likely to be a bit too busy in the next few months to set one up).

Yeah I got an emergency appointment (thank fuck) but even the 30mg x2 codeine are not even touching it now. Nothing like that throbby kicked in the jaw feeling to wake you up at 5am

Wouldn't mind, but now I have a sore throat on that side too.. I had an appoinment on the 21st December but obs couldn't make it because of the flu. Not sure what he can do as it's just collapsed into a gaping hole into my jaw, but I guess he could fill it for now or something.

I never forget the details of a nights drinking, except for the rather infamous trip to Wales that you may have read about.

OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE

V2.0 > v1.0

Me too, a bit. I'm not fat or anything, at 5'8 weigh 12 stone tops, but I do feel like I could shed a stone and look better. Aim to exercise more too for general happiness feel, as I don't have too much stamina and feel sleepy half the time.

Love me sausages though! And me wine and cheese. What can I do? I'll have to stop having those snack bars at break and go for an apple instead. But an apple and coffee? Yech. Hmm. Tricky. Also must eat smaller portions, as I accidentily cook far too much all the time.

I am sort of going on a diet. Slightly less booze than New Year week won't be hard to hit, for a start, though still drinking, and still going for chocolate and coke of an afternoon. I'm back on the running which will, I hope, allied to the cycling to work stop me from varying between 12 stone and 11 and a half, and get me around and below the latter. But I had a good read of "Born to Run", which is an interesting book (about ultra running, and a tribe especially good with it) and while I think much of it's flawed, the author switched to salad, pulses and the like for breakfast. Good way to get in the greeneries, pulses and the like, plus I'm hoping to go for fairly big portions, which might cut down on my grazing.

And ideally, it'll make me a lean, mean, healthy machine.

Except taller and a bag of sugar over 12st. I need to exercise but suffer from the most terrible condition, known as Chronic Laziness. I actually can't be arsed to start. It is much easier to starve. That's how lazy I am, too lazy to go to the fridge. Once I've got the old exercise routine ball rolling though, I feel much better and find it quite easy to carry on. I'll have to take up yoga again I think.

Yup, I reckon there's no better fat burning exercise than running mate, at least in my experience.

(Personally I hate running and have anything but a runners' build - I'm heavy (15 st+) and pretty stocky - but I force myself to do it nonetheless).

We should make a Beex Running Challenge. Every one add how far they've run to the total and we'll see how long it takes for us to cover the distance to New York.

There are excellent iPhone apps for this; they automatically tally your runs using the GPS and construct leaderboards amongst all your friends.

Mali is correct re: booze, provided that your weapon of choice is beer or wine, and not, ahem, gin and slimline.

What about if it is all three?

Gaywood - true, but three 5 mile runs a week will save you, what, 2100 calories in a week, which is 2/3s or so of the way to losing a pound per week.

People tend to over-estimate the important of exercise in weight loss. Unless you're, say, an actor losing weight for a role and can devote six hours a day to it, it rarely makes much of a difference. Eat less to lose weight; exercise to feel better.

I think you've only gone to further prove my point there; that's over a half-marathon a week -- a fair time commitment I'd argue -- to burn off about 10% of your overall calorific intake. Far more efficient to just eat 10% less.

[...]three 5 mile runs a week[...]That's 3 lots of 50 minutes per week

That's 3 lots of 50 minutes per week, which is hardly a big time commitment. It also keeps you fit.
