Brown Crisis!

Friday, June 5th, 2009

At the gym this morning, on the wee tellys that usually show second rate dance videos, one was showing Sky News.

The story was about the current crisis the government is going through. And had the best story title I’ve ever seen! (hence the title of the post)

I almost fell of the rowing machine I was laughing so hard.

So hard, in fact, I almost had a brown crisis of my own.

I really have to apologise for using a post just to make a joke about a “brown crisis” but I just couldn’t help it…

The joys of the gym

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Being a bit on the overweight side I’ve tried a variety of fad diets over the last few years. It’s easy to get caught up in the wonder of it all.

“Lose half your body weight in 15 mins!”

Or something…

But exercise, the only real key to successful weight loss, was always the last thing on my mind.

But not now. I’ve joined the gym. And it’s great, it’s really is. I’m trying to build up to going once every two days, somewhere around 4 days a week, and because I have a membership with the Glasgow Club I can use the Kelvin Hall which is closest to the flat and Scotstoun which is closest to my work. And Scotstoun has a cardio suite, a weights room and a pool for those days where I want something other than the treadmill or the cross-trainer.

Definitely the way forward.
