Yellow, black and stingy all over

We just had mother wasp in our office. Seriously - biggest waspy thing I ever saw. I wonder if fear leads to weight loss? I am hoping so, because it was very scary and so far, no other methods attempted have lead to weight loss.

In all honesty, I've put weight on - I like to pretend that it's because this running lark has built up muscle mass - of course we all know muscle is heavier than fat - however I know that in reality, I'm clutching at straws, for two reasons:

1. Once upon a time in a gym somewhere, someone told me that it takes approximately a year of regular exercise to actually reach the stage where your muscles have built up enough to get weighty (notice "technical" use of terms and clever use of subterfuge to put you off the fact that this statement cannot in any way be argued to be scientific, but I still fell for it and repeat it)
2. God, I've forgotten what the second thing was while I was busy trying to con you into thinking that I had made a biologically sound statement above. But there was one and if I remember it, I'll let you know.

Just for your own interest (because obviously it's of great interest to you), I had my last running class last night. So now, I'm on my own. I have to create my own motivation - not something I have a proven track reckord for in my long history of faddish health and fitness ideas (remember that aside the other day about "fitness" - apply now.)

Maybe number 2 was to do with the fact that so far, there is no visible sign of muscle on any part of my body anyway - thus disproving that I have put weight on through muscle build up.

So anyway - our running instructor gave us those large soft cookies at the end of the class as a well done. Silly move if you ask me - as people like me take this as an opportunity to eat my way through enough cookies to effectively cancel out six week's worth of running.

Or possibly - number 2 could have been to do with the fact that I have used the running as an excuse to eat more rubbish. People who are exercising do need sustenance you know - keep up their endurance and all that - I mean come on, you have a try at running for 20 minutes without eating anything - it's hard work.

Anyway, I only came here to tell you about the wasp excitement. So that's it, over and out.

Oh - actually, not quite. As of yesterday, I am on 10 day countdown to frockage. Today is day 9. There is a lot of work yet to be done...

p.s. I never did manage to remember what number 2 actually was.
