I'm so excited...




Well the twig woman is taking her time to emerge from the layers of “padding” I have acquired over the last year or so but I am more convinced than ever she’s in there somewhere, and much to my own amazement, I am actually loving the process of trying to dig her out. Who'd have thought I could get this excited about something that
A. doesn't involve a seriously large amount of cash being disposed of during a marathon shopping trip OR
B. doesn't have an alcohol reading or an horrific calorie loading?

Not me that's for sure...but I've had quite a major shift in mindset, perhaps a fat cell burst and dumped a load of old drugs in my brain, but for the first time in my life I think I can say, with a level of certainty only the newly converted can lend to a subject, that serious exercise will always be a part of my "normal" life routine from now on. A wild statement I know - but I'm fairly firm on this, I have to say, probably for two reasons.

1. that skinny bitch is not going to get the better of me - she will have to come out of hiding at - some point...my treadmill miles say so - and
2. I feel so amazing during, and especially, AFTER my gym visits, extra padding and all, that I can quite honestly say I am thoroughly addicted to them.

No one is more surprised by this turn of events than me, having always thought I had a severe allergy to exercise – particularly exercise that involved you working up a weeeee glow of perspiration – but there you go – miracles occasionally do occur.

And hey – the worlds a scary place right now - what with employment and money worries, high levels of stress and much to be less than joyful about - so anything that makes you feel this good without the involvement of chemicals or illegal substances in the middle of all that - can only be a good thing...
