team TOUCH YOURSELF has made the week. What a fabulous name for a touch footy team!? And glad to hear you are getting amongst some sports now that the sun is shining on London town. All is quiet on the western front and Anthony Bourdain + Days off is destruction. I have been eating 2 minute noodles al dente, thats winter for you. Dancing it off tonight with MJ at a Trance night however, although i'm sure my daily calorie intake is off the richter... If I could pronounce or spell the name of the Icelandic volcano, I would liken my intake to that, but we all know it has a ridiculous amount of letters. Anyway. The freight train of fitness and dietetics destruction has derailed. Again. And MyZone (thats a NSW government joke you are probably out of touch with..) is definitely experiencing some major delays, congestion and overcrowding.
there is so much room for improvement haha.

shin-ercise...
So l have shin splints... apparently l'm just a gun at the exercise and have worn down my muscle.. or bone.. or both...
May need to get on the cross trainer for a little instead of solid ground.
Either way... my legs hurt.. and limping is not sexy.

Bulge-um.
O man... Belgium... the home of bier, waffles and chocolate... what an amazing country..
Bruges was beautiful.. with its 53 chocolate shops and 12 waffles houses, l can confidently say that my good work (?) from the last few weeks has well and truely gone down the crapper...
I ate so much chocolate l started to waddle.. l actually became physically repulsed by the thought of chocolate, but kept eating it anyway - because it was THAT GOOD...
I have started running again along the river... hopefully this will continue now that it has become sunny and bright!! yey!!
Well for the sake of the job bexta.. better get yogging!!

If the dress fits...
Ah these things happen Bexta...
I didn't really see much change when l joined the gym and after a whole week of sitting on my butt, l was severely worried about fitting into the 80s dress that had fitted but been a little tight two weeks before.... I was praying that you couldn't possibly change that much in a fortnight, but was still secretly having a panic.
UN-NECESSARY!!!!!
I slipped into the dress (note the word 'slipped') Friday night and discovered to my great delight, that it actually fit me like a glove... the waist sat lower and the bubble went its full length rather than bunching at the thighs..
Alex is now (according to the very reliable digital scales in Shelley Greaves bathroom) 88.9 kg... thats a weight loss of 1.1 kg haha.. not fantastic... but still better than nothing!
And l've continued running now... went for a jog and walk along the thames river with Greggles last night before model monday... l'm feeling fitter when l run... not so much when l attempt to walk the stairs in the tube stations... but definitely when l run....
Hypnotherapy sounds like a go... l'm planning on making a recording of my own voice telling me to quit eating crap and listening to it everynight while l sleep....

sorry for the vacation, i've been busy LOSING.. but not for long. I have a wicked plan.
considering hypnotism.
what?
it worked for lily allen!
this will give me a serious edge over ms dillon and would be one step closer to the sweet stench of victory.
Sorry about the lull in posting.
I have been hapless and motivation-less for the last few weeks with sporadic bursts of exercise and proper nutrition followed by typical lulls in concentration.
On a positive note, I have remodelled my 'vision wall' to include my travel plans for this and next year, and best of all, some cool runnings quotes on my door to help me get out of bed to go yogging.
So far its not working. But I crack up every morning at the picture of Sanka on my wall...
I am thoroughly disappointed I wasnt there to share birthday week! What a blowout it would have been for both of us! Luckily for you, while you were out partying, I was doing the same. Excessive consumption of champagne in the heroin park behind King st in Newtown. I pop corks in the face of danger.
I must admit I am sure I sweated it out at Brand New, elbowing my way back to 2003. If I only had one word to describe it I would say fuck you I need two words and say FUCKING AWESOME.
Kick Ass was bizarre, the popcorn was amazing. That is all.
Anyway. my wall is amazing. I have actually gained weight since this challenge started but JUST you wait until hypnotism. Prepare to have your world rocked, shaken, and stirred.
Sincerely blogged,
Becasaurus.

birthday blues
I have made a new discovery... running on solid ground outside is actually far more effective than running on a tredmill.... now, l knew that you would exert more energy running on a path because of the uneven surfaces and variations in inclines.... but seriously.... it is way way better! I felt amazing after running along the thames... not to mention the scenery is superior to that of a gym wall...
therefore..
I will be taking classes at the gym.. but otherwise l'll be running along the river...
diets going... hmmm well this week is tough because it's my birthday innit haha..
I went on a pub crawl on Saturday and threw up an entire months worth of stomach contents so l'm pretty set for the week!!....
yey yey yey birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... wish you were here to celebrate it with me :(

las die ratte aus.
Hmm.. its time to get the rat out and jogging.
Is there a level above CAPS? I fear my CC is expanding beyond the periphery of CAPS. Good news, BootCamp on Saturday, and an 8km run on Mothers Day (9th of May) for Breast Cancer.. and ofcourse Relay too! So muchos activity in my future. I've given up on dieting because every time I decide to 'diet' I end up having a day before I diet where I consume everything I'm going to miss over the next 10 weeks, then end up breaking it the first day ANYWAY. So, although I know nutrition is the most important thing, I'm just going to have to start burning off the extra bits in pieces both literally and figuratively!
You have been blessed with the KJ burning powers of winter, now it is my turn.
WINTER:
ADVANTAGE: You burn more kjs and your metabolism increases
DISADVANTAGE: You will never, get out of bed to go yogging in that freaking cold.
Wow.. Old Ship makes no friends with salad. Me however, I make many friends with salad, then I put rocket in it and make them cough and splutter and choke begging for me to remove the ragingly horrific natural pepper and men taste from their palates and I scream NO you must eat the rocket hahahahaAAAAAA and flick burning ranch and lemon in their eyes... Okay.. I need to go outside today..
Today I change over the photos on my vision board on my wall (I have been trying but we have no electricity in the back of my house so by the time I get home from work its too dark, haha, my family IS a Chevy Chase film..) This should assist.
Wish me luck, i'm having wholemeal spaghetti for lunch mm..
xxxxxxxxxxx
motivational quote for the day
at least we dont have rats tails.

l've confused leaves with apples... atleast one got turned over.
With three minutes till home time, this is going to be a short one...
In a nut shell... lost my vintage dress to some hag on the weekend... ate two chocolate bars out of depression and then bailed on the gym...
Today l bowed to peer pressure by devouring a apple turnover laced with crusty sugar... soo so bad for me... but l'll be burning it at the gym!!...
peace love and bad new beginnings xx

Royal with Cheese
It seems that Spring has finally flashed its beautiful head.. the sun is shining and l have started to brave wearing no tights or woolly jumpers.. something which l regretted around 11pm last night when l emerged from Mumford and Sons with no coat or leg protection...
Went to the pub before hand with Ame and Chris... had a tomato and red onion salad, which was literally a plate of tomatoes with red onion on top... sorry Old Ship, but l was expecting something a little more creative than that...
Regrettably l washed that down with a sticky date pudding.. but Ame and l have both agree on the diet starting today so... boom! That means no desert tonight for Model Monday Madness...
I went to the gym Saturday for 40 minutes.. it felt strange going during the day when there was noone there and the light was flooding on my tredmill... and l became tired a lot faster because... well.. because it was Saturday!...
Today l had a delicious thick pasta with red pepper sauce and goats cheese... yum! and tonight l'm not sure what is in store for me....
Christ my bum is numb!!...
I think it would be amazing if l had a cross trainer in my house... but alas, l don't.
l loved the quote from Alex.. and l feel that may have to replace the rather lame lipstick quote on my bedroom mirror...
"Do you know what they call a quarter pounder in France?...
Shut the fuck up, cheese burgers aint in our vocabulary no more" - Alex Dillon

varge
...detox
I swear this time.
I have resigned to the fact that I will never be perfect, and i'm rolling with that. I had gummi bears for dinner, washed down with about 40,000 carlton draughts but i'm almost certain that busting out to Push It alone burnt off most of that. We busted OUT.
I decided to wear disco shorts owing to the fact that my father had kindly decided to do my laundry and had placed my vintage POLYESTER dress into the drier. Gorgeous dress, if only I had the gorgeous legs and varge to accompany it.. (oh yes, the varge came out when my arms went up.. it was quite tragic)
I was caught by a charming and attractive group of school friends on numerous occasions.. Once I was caught mid-thriller squat (you know what I mean!) and the second time I was caught (again squatting) pretending I was Vanilla Ice. Thats my quadricep exercise for the week, and my embarrassment for the next decade, tick, tick.
I've been doing ten minutes of training each morning before breakfast, while I try to imagine at least 6 impossible things.
I even woke up the other morning to go to bootcamp! On a SATURDAY! Unfortunately it rained. Mother nature is such a depricating slut sometimes. I took advantage of the situation, put my joggers on and jumped on the trainer and did over an hour while I watched the re-runs of mardigras.
I'm such a proud hag. I want to march one year with the families and friends.. so great.
We will get there. I'm starting AGAIN again tomorrow.

Sugarless tea at the ready!
Due to my stockings the other night skinning the flesh from my thighs, l was unable to walk let alone run in the gym last night..... fabulous although painful excuse made considerably worse by the block of Galaxy chocolate l consumed on the couch. I tried on my sisters bridesmaid dress again - still bad - but l'm going to ignore and prevail...
There was rib eye steak and fries on the menu today... l left most of the fries and devoured the peas - good girl.. but also made a gross error in sauce choice and ended up eating melted butter (bearnaise) with a side of meat.... shit
l am not going to give up... giving up hasn't even crossed my mind... l will feel fantastic and comfortable in my own skin... l will walk with pride and l WILL fit perfectly into that god damn bridesmaid dress if it's the last thing l do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......

like a tin man ballet, l'm cracking down...
oh Becca moo, ofcourse you had to taste the sweet nectar of your heroic trivia victory.. as was there an obligation to taste the creamy, perfectly rolled chocolates that had been left for me as a present by my departing housemates.... it would be rude not to right?
Tuesday was a pretty good day for me as far as food intake goes.. fish (a major rarity for me) marinated in lemon and garlic (LOTS of garlic) with little baby roast potatoes and greens... mum always says there should be greens on your plate...
Making mumma proud!!
My gym session was also rather successful with a total of 40 minutes spent working out...
I've recently discovered that if l spend the entire time on the tredmill focusing on my future Oscars outfit - in detail - l can run for 20 minutes without breaking breath.......... picture the dress, the shoes, the accessories... have your acceptance speech planned out, the interview answers mapped and HEY PRESTO!
Presto.... pesto.... mmmm pesto chicken pasta *drool*...
I'm tired of writting about my failures... l want something positive to report back!... so l'm getting serious... really serious... it's going to be hard - and this month may not be the best seeming l have my bday coming up... but l'm cracking down bec... l'm CRACKING DOWN....

March Hare with gravy.
I began again.
A fresh start methinks will do the trick.
I hereby declare a Jihad against Waterfall Fish and Chips..
After intently studying your rendezvous with the scales, I decided it was time for me to do the same. So I did the same... I jumped on, it teetered back and forth, and I jumped off, wiping beads of sweat from my concerned, furrowed (and probably exhausted) brow.
It is crunch time. Oh crunch. Whatever happened to Crunch bars? I haven't seen those in years.. WAIT WAIT AAAH.. I mean crunch time as in, lets stop fantasising about looking like Lara Bingle in the shower, (scrunched up pissed off face and all)and lets start making it happen. Perhaps doing some crunches instead of eating them will suffice.
You are right, we have fart assed around for two weeks, but we still have TEN ab-tacular weeks ahead of us. I am heading to Amy's boot camp session this saturday morning, followed by an all night stint of dancing at the Vag room. It's looking like a calorie burner of a weekend.
It's quite simple really. less kj in, more kj out. Herein lies the dilemma.
While you've been strolling down Pudding Place, i've been meandering around Monterey Bay for a while, although the stench of bbq sauce is becoming frightfully sickening.
Last night at Trivia, I had been a fabulous little girl all day, and I even made Mad Jono get me a DIET coke because the team had decided to purchase a jug of regular coke. I decided to order the roast of the day and veges. Probably not the best in terms of Kay Jays but the best a pub bistro has to offer unfortunately...
Potato side dish..
Wont hurt will it..?
No..
THEN..
'where am I, I am not a kingdom, nor a territory. My population is 1400. Dutch explorers found me in the 17thC, I am not Australia-'
'Christmas Island?'
'YES! Wow! You have won yourself a jug of beer!!!'
Well. I won it.. I have to sample the sweet nectar of victory right? Just a sample of victory. A sip. Swill it around my mouth, just to wash the taste of sweet overdue victory over my teeth. Thats all..
ONE HOUR LATER...
EYYYYY SLURP SLUR SLUR. WE WON! OH SLURRRR GEOGRAPHY! SLURRRRRRRRR BURP HICCUP...
So.. turns out the sweet nectar of victory should be consumed in moderation.
Coming home drunk instead of doign the obligatory 10 mins on the trainer before bed, I decided to go on YouTube and increase the dendrytes by playing 'say the colour not the word' and singing the accompanying song, much to my family's dismay.
http://www2.b3ta.com/clickthecolour/
So today. I start. FRESH again. I am planning to apply for jobs. Jog to Sara Lee factory, spit on the doorstep, and jog home again. Probably have a nap in there somewhere. Maybe even go to body pump, but lets not get ahead of ourselves shall we?
Despite the fact I have gained a staggering 1.5 kg since the fateful day this challenge began, I am not deterred. I will not falter. I will not fail.
In my own little mini challenge, I have a dress to fit into by the 17th of April. Watch this shrinking space.
After Fairfax Digital stole my golden one liner, I am more determined than ever to nab a job coining fantabulous headlines/bylines.
CC to cc, more haildamage than Melbourne.
Just like that.
"Well, in out country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

it WILL happen
Right... so far so good... all l've had is a tea and some bread with philly (shit) and a plum (good) and an apple (also good)...

Pudding street...
o deary deary me.... l had forewarned that this weekend was going to be a writeoff.. and l was correct in my assumption.
TERRIBLE.... simply terrible.
First there were the three pints of bulmers, beef burger with chips, half a tub of cookies & cream haggin dass and galaxy chocolate friday night.
Then there was the remainder of the haggin dass icecream, toast with v-mite, three pints of bulmers, quite a few cups of vodka coke and TEXA CHICKEN (good god!) on Saturday night.
And lastly after a few dates with the toilet and not really moving the whole day, l finished up my health filled weekend with bacon and eggs, orange juice, coffee & chocolate milkshake, kebab and a creme egg for sunday...
Not to mention the twirl l just ate - but hell... its International Womens Day! I'm allowed to spoil myself...
The menu today boasts some delicious options, but l feel l will go with a salad...
My bum is vibrating strangely - l'm hoping this is little tiny fat cells bursting and not me getting a serious bout of diarrhea...
15 mins on the bike is not enough to do anything - and as the scales tipped between 89.40 and 89.90, l stopped it at 89.50 and ran for my life....
Chicken, bacon and mushroom risotto with an entire tub of creme fraiche dumped in the pot, l'm feeling the only appropriate thing to do at this point is whip out the chocolate molten puddings and pray to god my arteries don't clog in the middle of the night and l live to see another overweight morning.... good ol Americas Next Top Model... nothing pushes me to eat quite like an hour of Tyra Banks narcism...
sigh... tomorrow will be better?...

flawless.
Future tomorrow and I am rather parched and sleepy so this will be brief.
So.
Pizza Hut The Works..
Awkward.
It's been a long time between small rainbow marshmallow bowls and hard jelly, and it would be rude not to reaquaint with old mates after such a long time. wouldnt it?
What made it worse was the fact we happened to be dancing and dining with one of those perfect girls who doesnt sweat, fall over, pass body fluids, lose hair on her clothes, cough sneeze or yawn, or jiggle while walking.
I hate those.
Tomorrow the boozing and losing continues although next week promises to be promising.
I promise.

Celebrate... alright!!
*sigh*... it is a sad sad day... l am deeply upset to report that l did NOT jump for joy last night when l hopped on the scales... neither losing weight nor gaining weight, l have simply just... stayed the same. *wail* I have been to the gym 5 nights a week and eaten (relatively) healthy!... I refuse to acknowledge it and place it down to muscle growth and a certain time of the month throwing things off... now for a cappucino..
I really need to up my game in the gym... I haven't been going as long, or as hard as l should... time to change this!
This weekend is going to be one of epic failure.
Celebratory drinks tonight at the Bell for Shelleys success in job hunting.
Celebratory drinks tomorrow night for various reasons...
Bacon and eggs recovery on Sunday....
It appears every weekend this month is going to follow much the same pattern, so l will have to work extra hard to counteract my hedonistic lifestyle.

curiouser and curiouser
Yesterday begins the cold weather.
Everybody has shifted from hating Raymond, to hating autumn.
Piked on pump class owing to the premiere of Alice in Wonderland clashing with my gym schedule(we all know how obsessed I am with Lewis Carroll) but did manage a seriously lengthy cross trainer session, complete with dancing, and guess what, I DIDN'T nearly fall off. Molerose 1 Dilpickle 0.
... I did actually fall off the previous day though.. It was such a good song I wouldnt have done it justice unless I let go of the handles...
Speaking of letting go of the handles, I have noticed a sliiiiiight shift in my work attire.. the kind of slight change where you are unsure whether you are losing weight, or you just havent washed your clothes for a while. I will find out tomorrow when my business suit goes through the drier.
I am a boat against the current, pretty sure its not supposed to go in the drier.
The old Apples vs Shortbread dilemma.
Solution. Both. How do you like them apples?
I did the old 'perfect until 5pm' trick yesterday. For a practitioner I sure know how to muff an eating plan, big time. Breakfast ticked all the boxes, low GI, low GL, low CHO, low fat, low cal, low sodium, high/ish monounsaturated fats, vegetables, high fibre, wholegrains, dairy, high protein and best of all, high in taste which is a rare combination. One of my clients, Bruce, he's a top Aussie fella, couldnt get more ocker, his mantra is 'if it tastes good, its no good forya'. Anyway, I was stoked on my efforts until 3pm when I decided instead of my planned lunch, I would deviate from the schedule and make brown basmati rice with corn and tuna.. Not the end of the world.. What was the end of the world was Mad Jono scoring me tickets to Alice in Wonderland in 3D on opening night. I squealed like Oliver watching a Bruce Willis film, grabbed an apple, and one tiny bit of shortbread and ran out the door. What ensued is so horrific I refuse to divulge. Lets just say the only handles i'll be letting go of are the handles on the elliptical trainer.. It looks like the 'handles' i'm keenest to be rid of are here to stay for another few days at least as my body recovers and rids itself of the horror I unleashed on my gastrointestinal tract. Oh the horror. Who would have thought batting your eyelashes and using impeccable manners could score you so many free cakes..? Mae West. I bet she knew about the flirting for cakes thing.
An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.
Mae West
Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.
Mae West
I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
Mae West
I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.
Mae West
Came home. Disappointed in my efforts and so perplexed and thrilled by Alice's adventures in underland I decided it was time for Bec Melrose's adventures in blunderland, the sequel.
More horrific details ensued, details I care not to divulge.
Today. I wake up. I have had one glass of water. It is 9.35am and I am proud to say I have not screwed up yet!
PLAN. Breakfast, yog up the street, run errands, come home, elliptical trainer, cook lunch, more trainer whilst watching dance and replicating the moves on trainer, eat an apple, get dressed, probably try to learn the moves from a Justin Timberlake film clip and go to the city feeling fresh and energised ready for Emily's birthday dinner at...
wait for it..
The place that still does kidsworks on George St.
Oh the frivolity of my schedule.

"Well, in out country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

C is for Coffee...
So tonight is the big night.... weigh in... like a contestant on Biggest Loser, l'll be jumping on those scales - and hopefully jumping for joy. The only difference will be a missing AJ and buff personal trainers pushing me every second for three months to LOSE LOSE LOSE!!! Where are you Bob? Where are you Jillian??... o... thats right.... America... traitors...
This morning as been a strange one... l woke up feeling so fantastic and thin.. loving life... and then shell told me l had to have breakfast - of which the only option was v-mite on toast - and all of a sudden l was feeling slightly less fantastic... NOTE TO SELF... don't eat freaking v-mite and toast in the morning.. you WILL feel like shit...
Morning tea was a tea... and a coffee and coffee cake (seeing a pattern here).. and a banana, which strangely hasn't been touched yet... that can be afternoon tea! *pats self on back*
I had a bitchy and vain moment yesterday. I was yogging on the tredmill looking at myself go soft in the mirror (going hard would constitute a speed of over 7.0) when l saw the girl two tredmills down going hard to match her hard abs. With her flat, toned, washbboard stomach and rock hard thighs she looked like a graceful swan - that could karate chop you to China. I sighed thinking, what l wouldn't do for a body like that... l leaned over to get a better look at the whole her(creepyville) and noticed that she was possibly the ugliest chick l had seen in a long time.... and suddenly... l felt really good inside... now l'm not saying this to compare with myself... but it made me realise that there is justice in the world...
Only then did l walk down the stairs to the weights room on my way home and spot the blonde goddess with the washboard stomach, rock hard thighs, toned arms and perfectly structured cheekbones working the arms bells...... justice obliterated.
Fuck you Karma and your perfect timing.
I feel l may need to join a dance workout class seeming as l almost went flying off the cross trainer last night when l attempted to dance upon it..
Today is another freezing cold day.. but l will walk to the park and pray for sunshine to miraculously force its way through the clouds to brighten my afternoon lunch. Will power is.... powerful... ??
Bec, this is possibly the greatest thing we have ever done... even if we fail - WHICH WE WON'T... I thoroughly enjoy reading your entries.. entertainment plus..
Banana finally devoured and gourmet pizza promised l'm feeling rather jovial! It's 4:30pm and the sun is still shining which is a major plus, maybe it will raise the spirits of some rather grumpy co workers..... we can always dream...
As far as us still eating slightly poorly at times - poo... you can't completely deny yourself the things you love most! Thats just a confirmed ticket towards failure... it's all about balance... you need to have the majority of your diet taken up by salad and vegetable and fruit and lean meats, but that will allow for the occational treat. Like today l had an array of salads mish mashed together for lunch - which will allow me a little give with pizza tonight... pizza and salad ofcourse!!! ;)
Prepare for week 3 to be big one!... and NOT on the scales

Wont kneel.
Once I get down to my goal.. which is 58, which is what I was before I started working in a WEIGHTLOSS CLINIC, I too will do something dramatic with my hair.. hmm.. I'm anti fringe.. Anti-short (last time I did it was circa Madge, and that clearly scarred me) Anti dye.. (Last time I did that was when I tried to look like Charlotte from Sex and the City because I admired her unwavering moral compass and I ended up looking like a corpse bride) so maybe i'll just get it cut.. haha.. or cut it myself.. even better.
Scales. Bad idea. Although it appears we are about on par at this stage ms Dillon as I am shocked to report a loss of 0.5 after my shocking week.
So. I haven't been particularly good either and would you believe it, we are SO the same, I also had spaghetti bolognese, sans toast.. that sounds attrocious! We had trivia last night, thankfully we didn't win any beer this week, because I can't seem to say no to trivia beer. Even though it is lowly house tap beer, it is the fruits of my quiz-tastic labour and I must sample said fruits. But it would have been nice to wash down the calamari. Oops.
Alex you crack me up infinitely with your posts I am always caught giggling loudly because every sentence I read, REEKS of me. We are the same dieting person.
There is no motivation like the EX factor. I have a function coming up in approximately 6 weeks. I have a dress. I have a headband. I have earrings. I will fit into the dress and maybe even buy new shoes.. and then I will more than likely fall down the stairs.
Well I'm about to make breakfast.. Which will be my only nice meal of the day today which makes my penis sigh but such is the life and times of Dilpickle and Molerose.
I think i'm going to go to pump class today.. I turned down the 30 day yoga challenge for several reasons it is FRIGGING cold here at night and you leave the bikram studio literally dripping wet with hideous grossness and I do not want to catch a chill catching the train home from Caringbah looking like a molested penguin.
I will be doing the Bikram challenge in October/November so by the time I reach you in December, I will be able to fold myself into a neat looking pretzel and bring all the boys to our yard.
Another motivating factor this week has been my excitement for Ibiza 2011. I hope you are interested in joining me. I think we will be a rocking promotions team, especially with our MAD bodies and your MAD haircut.
I am getting into the habit of watching the biggest loser from the trainer instead of from the lounge with popcorn in my lap.
Bad post. Can't concentrate. Need breakfast.

Peace Love and OFFOFF-OFFOFFOFFOFFOFFOFF-OFF WITH YA HEAD! x

Muffins and Tops are amazing when separate.
Two weeks in and it feels like no time has passed. Am yet to hop on the scales for the second time - that's a job for thursday.
Ignoring the Hummingbird cupcake i had compliments of Shell and the spag bowl on toast for dinner last night, l'm confident l will have somewhat positive results...... 0_o
This morning was cornflake goodness for breaky and last night l had managed to compile a rather delicious salad of lettuce, cucumber and tomato which served as a lovely lunch in Golden square today.... actually it was a little bland, which is why it was washed down with some oven crisped nacho tortillas from M&S... yum.
I've had two teas and a coffee. This is all in the name of stopping myself from purchasing the £1.90 double choc chip muffin that is sitting so delicately in the work cafe..... they don't call it a muffin top for nothing.
Soon l will try and squeeze into my too tight jeans that have been abandoned in the bottom of my wardrobe.... but l'm just not that confident yet... try when you actually feel there is a shot at winning.
Gym tonight and then off to see A Single Man with Shell, Ame and Chris.
Love and muffins xx

How many rolls in my Bakery?
Right - catch up time... bec you are a fiend with the blogs, l was joyous to have a chance to read them after yesterday being a ridiculously manic day at work! The only thing l was exercising yesterday was my mouth... although the honey baked ham from the work kitchen was UNREAL!!!
Since l have not written since Friday, l cannot completely remember all that l have eaten or done.
It probably goes along the lines of salad, chicken, pasta, spag bowl, pizza (but the good kind), fruit ie: Pineapple, peaches, grapes.... etc.
I had a few bad days - like Saturday night, where Sarina and l sat down and watched Priscilla and The Castle while eating gourmet pizza with garlic bread and italian style salad. DELISH!
I am pleased to confirm that l hopped on the scales on thursday afternoon post gym and l have lost 1/2 a KG! I can't obviously see much yet in terms of looks, but if l keep going at this rate, l should be looking pretty good come Tuscany.
Bec, I have made a pact with myself that once l lose 5kg, l am chopping my hair into a funky bob and dying it fire red... it is something you can only do while you are still young, so fuck it! Its happening!!.... think Christina Hendricks
So far - seeming my gym week starts on a Thursday
week one - 5 trips
week two - 3 trips - 2 days to go (tonight - tuesday - is out as Shelldogs just got here, so Wednesday is my go)
I need to start drinking more water - and partying more... partying = dancing, which = exercise.... its a recipe for SUCCESS.
SIP . SHAKE . LOSE THE WEIGHT
Keep going little bubble head! Only good things can come from this!!!

mardi gRAs
MARDI GRAS!
Waking up this morning/late afternoon for my first weigh in (well.. I had one on Tuesday but toooootally disregarded that..)
Thankyou gay community of Sydney for having me gyrate wildly for such an extended period of time it has done wonders.
Our new dance move 'the freight train' made its debut last night in honour of Shelley's 21st. Who would have thought the gift of dance could be so powerful and so effortlessly effective.
Yesterday was a top day for CC to cc perhaps the best i've had so far, sans alcohol... Shake breakfast followed by protein bar and salad sandwich. Apple ofcourse, and small bites of chicken before leaving for MARRRRDI Gras.
I love that for Jono and I, half a bottle of vodka each and 4 double premix drinks each- is a quiet night.
So I'm about to jump on the trainer for a while to celebrate the fact I am not hungover today.
Paul Simon- that's your song. We called you.
Peace Love and Ra x

Day Ten. Coming Clean- just in time for the Gras.
DAY TEN
CONFESSION TIME.
Forgive me Dilwee for I have sinned..
Went to see Valentines Day with Mad Jono..
'bec would you like some popcorn'
'no thanks'
'really I have heaps'
'no no i'm fine thanks'
'oh right you have that 12 week challenge with dil huh'
'um.. yeah but i'm actually full I just had maccas'
First week!? More like first WEAK. It has not been a great week for me, but as I say to my clients, time to forgive, forget and forge forward. I like a bit of alliteration in clinic practice, it keeps things interesting.
I have made several trips to the grocery store this week and I am consuming a veritable plethora of whole grains and sprouts. I have missed sprouts. The problem lies however with the consumption of said wholegrains for my eeeevening meal. Not enjoying my meat, finding a meal in the evening sans CHO and high in protein has been- actually lets not lie, i've been too lazy to make good meals in the evening... FOR EXAMPLE.
Monday dinner, tuna (good!) corn (okay!) brown rice (mmmm not such a great idea for tea..) and shitloads of vegetable stock (okay this is going awry).
This week I have learnt 'shitload', although a standardized unit of measure, is not an appropriate standardized unit of measure in cooking.
I need to get my shit together, I do this for A LIVING and have no excuses!
As aforementioned I have also adhered to my mini-goal to eat an apple a day. My problem has been my freight train out of control lifestyle which has resulted in my consumption function slamming up the richter scale, 8.8... Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol..
Good news abounds however;
Becfucious say:
Week two will smash weak one.
As Emiliana Torrini would say, today has been okay. I banned my breakfast in an attempt to increase my protein intake and decrease the CHO etc. Instead this morning I decided to take the advice I dish out EVERY DAY and I made a shake with psyllium. Lunch consisted of soy and linseed with sprouts, beetroot, tomato, avocado (can't help it..!) and...
DUN DUN DUNNNN..
Chicken, in a can.
It puts the 'chat' in chat roulette that is for sure. I have not seen a brighter hue of pink since last years Mardi Gras. Knowing that my lunch time consumption of protein was essential to my success, I coated it in beetroot juice and managed to eat at least a few bites.
I have taken up using the elliptical whilst watching TV.
Did I mention its creme egg season? Yeah... It is...
Well. I'm struggling to smell the trophy being so far away from it, but I can smell freshly cut grass, suburban dew, and the light salty aroma of morning sweat.

CONFESSION TIME.
Forgive me Dilwee for I have sinned..
Went to see Valentines Day with Mad Jono..
'bec would you like some popcorn'
'no thanks'
'really I have heaps'
'no no i'm fine thanks'
'oh right you have that 12 week challenge with dil huh'
'um.. yeah but i'm actually full I just had maccas'
First week!? More like first WEAK. It has not been a great week for me, but as I say to my clients, time to forgive, forget and forge forward. I like a bit of alliteration in clinic practice, it keeps things interesting.
I have made several trips to the grocery store this week and I am consuming a veritable plethora of whole grains and sprouts. I have missed sprouts. The problem lies however with the consumption of said wholegrains for my eeeevening meal. Not enjoying my meat, finding a meal in the evening sans CHO and high in protein has been- actually lets not lie, i've been too lazy to make good meals in the evening... FOR EXAMPLE.
Monday dinner, tuna (good!) corn (okay!) brown rice (mmmm not such a great idea for tea..) and shitloads of vegetable stock (okay this is going awry).

DIL DAY TEN
Whats up...
Bec - l'm stocking up on trophy polish as we speak.
Last night ran for 30 mins at the gym with 3 mins on the arm cycle (slowly working my time up)... Dinner was a chicken stirfry with satay sauce - almost completely convinced l'm going to get food poisoning after l had the chicken uncovered in my fridge for two days, froze it, and then being lazy, defrosted it in the wok.... l love thee wonderous world - farewell.
Got distracted and forgot to sign up for the 6 week pilates course - damn.
Have decided l will gt a DIY pilates DVD and force my new housemates (who are pilates instructors) to give me lessons at home... because l can't imagine anything else they would rather do after a whole day of pilates classes, than come home and do pilates with their completely incompetent housemate.
The fruit in my fridge is rotting and my vegetables are moulding... but ah.. l'll still eat it - not one to waste food!!
Breakfast was a peach and apple and tea.
Lunch was an amazing test of will power as l ignored the chicken stroganoff with rice on the menu and instead opped for tomato and mozzarella on toasted bread with pesto and pinenut potatoes and a tomato and cucumber salad... yum!
2 cappucinos, one banana.
Gym tonight again... l think l'm getting into a nice little routine...can't wait for the face to start having definiton!
There are mirrors surrounding all the machines at the gym so you can watch yourself work out... l plan on making a shirt that has - run bitch run - backwards so when l'm on the tredmill, it will read correctly and l can be inspired by my own crudeness and the time l ran a 20 min walk in 3 minutes - remember that bec... genius...
Peace, love and running the distance.

... oops.
BEC DAY 7,8,9.. and 10?
Okay so I have been MIA for the past few days and by that I unfortunately don't mean a rockin Sri Lankan chick that sings catchy songs about avian flu.
I went to the movies with Jono to see Valentines day on Tuesday after farewelling Judylicious at the airport. A horrendous combination. So first of all I was up at 4:30am. Irritable, hungry, body clock out of whack, still within time frame for mcdonalds breakfast... Then I had to go to the airport. That place did little to appease my wanderlust. Then i had to say goodbye to Judy.. ANOTHER of my favourite people LEAVING. Then I couldnt figure out how to get out of the airport. I ended up in Bondi. That was the opposite way to where I needed to be by AN HOUR AND A HALF. Then Jono decides to take me to see Valentines day. Great movie for people with achy hearts, it has a FRIGGEN happy ending!!!! And therefore the remainder of my day went a little like this.
'do you want some popcorn?'
'no.. no thanks'
'are you sure I got heaps'
'no i'm okay thanks'
'oh thats right you're on that fitness kick with Dil'
'no.. actually I'm full I just had maccas breakfast'
Sorry Dilly.
So after being a total emo for the rest of the afternoon, I decided to brush back my silky black fringe and get over it.
Sunday night- dad and daughter dinner night WRITE OFF
Monday dinner with my family moving to PNG. WRITE OFF
Trivia last night. WRITE OFF.
THURSDAY. will be much better.
In fact i'm off to make breakfast now.
I promise more prompt status updates THIS WEEK.
I have succeeded in eating an apple a day though...

DIL DAY NINE
Slow slow day... for the first time in a long time l am very very bored - which means l am very very hungry...
Went out to the West End last night for Sarinas birthday and saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!... loved every minute of it!..
We went for dinner prior at a nearby Thai restaurant... chicken pad thai with spring rolls...
This morning l could barely get out of bed. Tired beyond belief.
Breakfast was the usual.
Lunch was a chicken salad, cluster yogurt and apple juice.
One cappucinno.
Tonight l will be hitting the gym and then making myself a salad with chicken and sweet potato and hopefully an early night.

DIL DAY EIGHT
Get ready to be proud!!!....
Last night, not only did l run for 20 minutes on the tredmill at the gym; l then went home, had a shower and walked 20 minutes to my sisters place - purposefully forgetting my oyster card so l would have to walk home also. It was unfortunate that the one day l was looking forward to a healthy dinner, my hungover sister provided us with Pizza... nooooo!!!!
It all worked out though... l walked 20 minutes home - realised l had left my phone at Ames - and walked 20 minutes back to retrieve it (it is, after all, my alarm clock)........... and then l walked 20 minutes home again, so check that for accidental fitness!!...
This morning was an apple, yogurt and tea... original
and for lunch it was oven fired chilli toritlla chips with homous and a large garden salad - no dressing.
I can't go to the gym tonight unfortunately as l am taking Sarina out for her birthday... tomorrow definitely!! :)
Chao!!

DIL DAY SEVEN
So a week has gone by - and my diet hasnt gone completely according to plan.. but l always figure that failure is going to come in the first week.. its like a teething process - you need to learn your weakness' and crush them!
So far its been a relatively so so day
Breakfast: Apple, English Breakfast Tea, Rhubarb yogurt.
Lunch: Fettuccini, Pancetta, Gorgonzola Cream, Garlic & Tomato Bread
Total of two coffees and a banana inbetween.
I didn't have time last night to make a salad for lunch due to a gig in Farrington, so the creamy pasta from my work cafe was my only option - can't say l complained too much - it was freaking delicious!!
Tonight, my diet is in the hands of whatever my sister decides to serve me... but not before l get half an hour in at the gym!...
Advice to all those looking for an amazing new live band - The Dawn Chorus... blew my socks off!...

DIL DAY FIVE AND SIX
Right so some catching up to do over the weekend!
Friday night, £5 two hours of power - good god... 6 Litres of lemonade vodka later and l'm dancing like a maniac!.. l feel that going out is actually like a workout - but fun (especially where my dance moves are concerned.. crraaazzzzyy)... ended up walking home from the pub... which actually turned into me running home from the pub.. the housemates were walking way too slow and l still had a mass amount of energy left.. so overall l feel l balanced out my excessive drinking with cardio.
Saturday was a slow process of getting out of bed... after arriving home and stuffing my face with chips and noodles the night before, my hangover was subdued, but my body definitely wasn't responding as quickly as it should have.
Breakfast: tomato spagetti on buttered bread.... yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!!!! It hit the spot...
My day was pretty lazy... l basically spent the whole day trying to convince myself to go to the gym.... failed, miserably... l did however walk 20 minutes to Sarinas house for a movie night, so not all was lost!
We chilled on the bed and watched 'He just not that into you' and 'the boat that rocked' while snacking on maltesers and feasting on chicken and pesto pizza... plus apple strudel and icecream for desert.... yes l know, l know.... but it won't be happening again.
Sunday l woke at Sarinas house after deciding to spend the evening rather than brave the cold!!...
She cooked up a lovely breakfast of tomatoes, egg and ham... its like the healthy version of a big breakfast... l chilled with her for a little while, tossing up whether we should go to the cinemas to see 'Precious' or not.... l declined after some calculated thought - gym, gym, gym, gym, GYM, GYM!!!!!....
Walked 20 minutes home from Sarinas, got dressed and went straight across the road to the sports centre.
WORKOUT
20 mins running on tredmill
10 mins cycling
05 mins arm cycle
Was wearing a D.A.R.E shirt the whole time... l wonder if everyone in the gym could hear me mumbling to the adjacent mirror - 'dare to be healthy' 'dare to be beautiful' 'dare to try'.... cringeworthy hollywood inspiration.
I didnt want to over do myself too early in the game - and l smashed my knee cap on the arm cycle machine cause my legs are too long, so l was in pain...
Had a shower and went across to Sainburys for some grocery shopping...
So so proud!!

DAY FOUR AND FIVE- Placedogs.
DAY FOUR.. and FIVE from the Placedogs camp.
An assortment of comments.
Well. Since discovering that Jennifer Anniston had rudely stolen my celebrity boyfriend, I discovered that this was going to be the type of diet where the broken ones do not count. They are broken, and I surmise somehow in the breaking process the calories escape. I would ask Gerard Butler for confirmation but he's busy shmoozing up to Jen. If he dies and starts leaving love letters addressed to Jen instead of me, I will freak.
I am on a random mission to eat an apple a day.
I have fallen deeply in love with avocado, tomato and cheese toasted on soy and linseed bread.
Wont Kneel by GA is perhaps the best exercise song since More Than You Are. That is a big call though.
Bec's Current Ultimate Workout Playlist- Yes there are some gay ones on this, but I am not ashamed to list them.
Wont Kneel- GA
We Want Your Soul- Adam Freeland
Warp- BB
Holiday- Dizzee
Ready for the Weekend- Calvin Harris
I'm Not Alone- Calvin Harris

I Feel Cream- Peaches
Riverside- Sidney Samson (oh turns out I should be ashamed)
Break Even- The Script (I know, I know, its so Nova969 but its a nice song..)
Sweet Disposition- Temper Trap
Heads Will Roll- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Vampire Weekend- A Punk
More than You Are- Grinspoon
Cmon Cmon- The Von Bondies
Dont You Want Somebody to Love- Boogie Pimps
Salvation- The Cranberries
Declare Independence- Bjork
Silverchair- Freak
Rhythm is a Dancer- La Bouche
Don't Listen- The Devoted Few
One Armed Scissor- At the Drive In
Black Bugs- Regurgitator
Get Free- The Vines

I Am Human- The Smiths

WARM DOWN
Half Asleep- School of Seven Bells
Bullet and a Target- Bliss and Eso
The Summer- Josh Pyke
Skinny Love- Bon Iver
Coin Laundry- Lisa Mitchell
Purple Sneakers- You Am I
Talk Show Host- Radiohead
I promise I still listen to good music, although it does look doubtful judging by the playlist!
I have fallen deeply in love with beetroot on sandwiches.
Major setback yesterday when Mad Jono and I decided it was a good idea to take advantage of a special deal on a special Saturday.. We consumed, *deep breath* 8 bottles of cider, 8 cans of premixed horror, half a bottle of cheap vodka, and 3 baby food satchels full of vodka. Needless to say we ended up beyond obliterated and while lining up for vinyl room, AFTER being kicked out of Gymea pub for performing choreography (oh yes, we were that drunk) we realised we had not eaten all day. And you know what that means...
We then proceeded to eat and share lots of slurred 'I bloody love you's' on the platform as we exchanged gratitude for our Amy Winehouse-esque friendship.
This morning I feel like I brushed my teeth with the rotting corpse of a possum.
I should be breath tested before I am allowed to text message, OR go on Facebook.
So I'm quitting drinking on the 7th of March for the remainder of the tournament. I do believe this decision will greatly influence my success.
I am considering doing the 30 day Bikram challenge in March. I'm tired just typing that. I am also going to BodyJam. It will have to do for the moment considering I cant go back to dancing yet, i'm getting restless without my dancing.
Now if you will excuse me I'm going to get back to getting my CC to cc.

DIL DAY FOUR
CC to cc challenge
Melrose Place versus Alex the Kid.
Booyah! Friday!!!!....
Getting geared up for a few days of sleeping in and room organisation...
Didn't make it to American Apparel last night.. don't think l ever will - too proud... l did however JOIN THE GYM!... its a tiny step towards body brilliance - the huge step is actually going, which l will... l promise.
Tonight l am planning on going out with some mates to a bar down the road that has 'two hours of power for £5' (thats all you can drink in two hours for 5 quid ahhh)... this could be disasterous - but l have been told an excellent hangover remedy of one boiled egg - or a slice of tomato - before going to bed, so this should stop me from flaking on the gym Saturday afternoon.
Motivation #1 - if Kelly Osborne can do it....
There is also a 6 weeks pilates beginners course at the gym that l am thinking of joining up to.. its free with the membership after all and will be great for core muscles and posture! To help motivate me, l have pre ordered the new Angus and Julia Stone album from Australia.. love.
Breakfast: Mixing it up a little today with an apple and English Breakfast Tea...
Lunch: Unfortunately it was burger day at the work kitchen - and its not everyday you get your hands on a piece of 100% quality beef in London soooo l hit that.
Snacks: Coffee
I have joined the free website that helps you keep tally of your eating - calorieking.com.au... it seems to be a really handy way of monitoring your diet, so a big thankyou to Bec for getting me onto that one!
ISSUE - Burger Day SOLUTION - Make sure there's lots of salad on it!

There is also a 6 weeks pilates beginners course at the gym that l am thinking of joining up to.. its free with the membership after all and will be great for core muscles and posture! To help motivate me, l have pre ordered the new Angus and Julia Stone album from Australia.. love.
Breakfast: Mixing it up a little today with an apple and English Breakfast Tea...
Lunch: Unfortunately it was burger day at the work kitchen - and its not everyday you get your hands on a piece of 100% quality beef in London soooo l hit that.
Snacks: Coffee
I have joined the free website that helps you keep tally of your eating - calorieking.com.au... it seems to be a really handy way of monitoring your diet, so a big thankyou to Bec for getting me onto that one!
ISSUE - Burger Day SOLUTION - Make sure there's lots of salad on it!

I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j.
I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.
MOLEROSE DAY THREE
DAY THREE
Spent the morning sorting through ONE bag of old dancing costumes whilst subtley dancing. I place emphasis on ONE because the attire from years of dancing and the plethora of costumes could all fit into ONE bag, owing to their miniscule size. I shrieked when I saw the hotpants. Ever so small.
Then as I proceeded to rifle through old belongings playing music in the background, Calvin chimed in with comical precision...
IT WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80s....
So I threw most of it out. Even if I ever fit back into them again, they will NEVER be acceptable again...
THEN. I had no apples- how do you like them apples?
I had made it my mission to eat an apple a day so I had to walk up the street for apples... You should have seen my shopping basket. I was hoping I would run into clients of mine so they would perve on my shopping and I would be proud to be caught leading by example! Alas, I did not and I will probably get caught with a glass of wine in my hand, like I always seem to.
THEN. I did time on the cross trainer and realised I have to go back to dancing and yoga and do something I actually enjoy SO I sent an email to Yogi (not the bear.. although he does steal picnic baskets so perhaps that might be an idea..) and I have stupidly put my hand up for the 30 day challenge in March which involves doing 90 mins of Bikram daily for a month... Oh boy... Hopefully I will be a sexy pretzel by the end of the month...
THEN I made brown rice, tuna and corn. I didnt know what to mix it with so I mixed it with nothing and it was okay.. No who am I kidding it was shit, and not even particularly healthy.
Jono and I will be having choreography session on Wednesday, so that should be a real calorie burner. Have you seen the softserve?! That move engages every muscle group in the body! ADVANTAGE MUCH!?
Luck to ya.
INSPIRATION FOR THE DAY: Week two of a diet and exercise regime is always the easiest because by then you're off it.

MOLEROSE DAY TWO
DAY TWO: Becky Rae Cyrus vs Alexisonfire.
Proverb of the day.
He who does not wash apple will get worm anyway, stuff getting up early.
Mad Jono made me a CD. My Ipod has been updated and is now ready to come with me on long runs... Just not today.
I want to go back to dancing. People I used to dance against are now on So You Think You Can Dance and I'm sitting at home jealously watching them as I participate in my own reality show- So You Think You Can Nostalge. (I know thats not a word but it should be)
While Dil was enjoying gratuitous amounts of succulent circles of death, I was, ironically, at a weightloss practitioners function for work. Two words-
WINE BABY.
So after a few glasses of wine and conversation about all things HEALTH I decided training intoxicated was a great idea. Facebook distracted me, I ended up throwing in the towel and passing out on the lounge watching 'spa of embarrassing illnesses'.
Apart from the gratiutous amounts of wine and a Furry Friend which Carli and I consumed as an entree, owing to the meaty nature of the other dishes, I am rather pleased with the efforts of my furry friend, nutritionally at least! ;)
What will all the boys in my yard do when I stop making my fabulous milkshakes!? Kelis?! Help me!
I can hardly spell success these days let alone smell it.
(the double CC for the day)
CLARIFY: Does a blood test count as weightloss?
COMPLAINT: All my friends are overseas except Sara Lee and she is SUCH a good cook.
CC to cc..
lets CC how it goes.
Peas Love and GI,

DIL DAY THREE
This week there is a special offer at Hummingbird Bakery Soho for a free cupcake with every voucher presented.... how many vouchers were just dumped on my desk?..... 50..... 50 FREE cupcakes.... fuck you universe...
Last night was my weekly movie night with Ame and Chris... one of my favourite nights of the week - but also one of the fattest. After all, who can watch a movie without popcorn?? - fat kids mentality.
I missed the bus to Fulham by 30 seconds.
Had 7 minutes to wait till the next arrived
Began walking in the hope of getting to my destination faster
BEAT THE BUS BY 9 MINUTES!!! and caught up with the bus l had originally missed
GO SPEEDY LEGS GO!!!!.... *sigh* too bad l ate a chicken burger for dinner and ruined my good work.
So i walk past American Apparel everyday judging the models in their slut campaigns - why don't they just save on advertising and scam porn off the internet, tweek the outfits on photoshop and hey presto! shameless marketing. My reason for bringing this up, is that today l am going to be a hypocrite and actually purchase a body suit from there to wear to the gym.... obviously with track pants!!.... it shames me to think that l will be endorsing this company, but hell... their body suits look extremely comfortable and as long as they have a pee clip (l mean, lets be honest here - hands up who wants to strip naked everytime nature calls) l'm pretty much sold - no thanks to their degrading selling style.
Breakfast: Apple, english Breakfast tea, banana.... l seriously need to start thinking of some variety.
Lunch: Chicken tikka masala.. rice and naan... it was delicious - E.O.S.
It's raining today so there is no chance for a walk around... my hopeful self didnt pack an umbrella this morning thinking that will power alone would blow the clouds from the sky and let the sun break through... silly silly girl and her fanciful dreams... now you are going to go home wet.
ISSUE - Free cupcake vouchers. SOLUTION - cupcakes = fatcakes - on your thighs... gain pals not pounds.. contribute, distribute, retribute.

DIL DAY TWO
Current weight: 90kg
Ideal weight: 80-82kg
Height: 5'11 - 6'
Build: not petite
Day two and l have suffered a major fall back. Damn Pancake Day caught me in the last possible hours of Day One and l found myself consuming 8 large chocolate circles of diet death with maple syrup for dinner.... dead to me Alex, dead to me.
DAY TWO ISSUE - Taking unofficial celebratory Days way too seriously. SOLUTION - Make everyday, Vegetable Day.
Today the sun is shining and the air is calm with a post rain afterglow... wonderful.
Breakfast: Apple, Banana, English Breakfast tea.
Made a trip to the gym to check out the possibility of joining - tried to get a discount - was told to come back thursday - DONE.
Had a lovely, relaxing sit in the sun at Golden Square reading my book at lunchtime.... walk time to the park - 10 mins
Lunch: Chicken Sandwich combo, yogurt with museli clusters, orange/mango/lime juice.
NOTE TO SELF: Dont ever drink that juice again... it tasted like concentrated ass water.

DIL DAY ONE
It's officially begun - the rapid race towards the world tightest thighs, and l'm already considering whether or not l can actually do this.
Bec, seeming we are 17,500km away from one another.. this is our blog.. the proof of our strenuous efforts to rid our arms of the jiggly undersides we should be calling biceps.
BEC AND DIL 12 week CHALLENGE..
WEEK ONE inspirational advice.
Get your leg warmers ready. Everybody knows luke warm shins are the KEY to success..
Day One and l've come to the conclusion that there are pot holes in our playing field. Australias summer VS Londons winter?... those are ridiculous odds. Layers upon layers of clothing have provided me with a very comfortable fat hiding solution - but summer is approaching! and these big flabby excuses for arms are going to have to come crawling out of their clothing cave.... *sigh*... enough - let us begin.
It's raining.... motivation = zero.... but we did just interview a pair of pilates instructors for the top room in our house... this bodes well...
RULE #1
Invest in a new pair of tights... noone likes to see a woman stretch in tights that have crotch holes.
Purchased a tub of yogurt and bag of crisp red apples yesterday to ensure l always had something for breakfast.. too bad that apple was KNOCKED from my hand as l boarded the tube this morning, effortlessly rolling to its train track death... damn london commuters. The apple from my cafe was attrociously floury and sour which resulted in breaky being two pieces of peanut butter toast and a weak English Breakfast tea from the work kitchen....
Karma 1 - Alex 0
Pancake Day = pancake Gay, as there were no pancakes on offer for Lunch today.... devoed. Perhaps it was the universe giving back for its gross apple misconduct this morning, because unless those pancakes were made from vegetables or museli - l'm pretty sure they dont fit comfortably into ANY diet...
Lunch today: Grilled Pesto Vegetables, Tagliatelle & Crème Fraiche... yum yum yum.
My mission for this evening is to join the gym across from my house....... and actually go.
