So who was the bright spark who decided I needed to lose weight? Oh yeah, that’s right , I did. Hm…. not very bright now was it? I am not ready to do this. I tell myself this every time and I always ask myself “so when will you be ready”? Hm… no answer to that. So……….. here I am.
I have a severe sweet tooth. No seriously – I mean a SEVERE sweet tooth and I am addicted to carboydrates in all forms. No wonder I look like the goodyear blimp! Don’t know what that is?? Go google it.
Ok I am ready. I did some research and found some “heathly” recipes for stuff that is sweet and tastes good and won’t add an inch to my waist line (so they say!). Woo Hoo!
Today I began. I weighed myself and even wrote my weight down! I dug my old tape measure out and measured my chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs and my calves. I counted calories. I didn’t even go hungry. I made a date in pen (now I can’t rub it out!) on my calender to weight myself in a week and not before!
I will count my calories, make my new found recipes and keep my fingers crossed.
I’ll even share some of those recipes with you if they work so you too can try them – even if you don’t need to!!
Ok I am out of here.
Happy munching all.
PS: I even had a glass of wine! SSHHH

I decided a few days ago I was going to don my jeans and do some gardening when much to my horror I discovered my jeans no longer fit me!
Now I know many of us have this problem and I myself have battled my weight all my life. I put it on, I take it off. Problem is with every passing year it is easier to put it on and harder to take it off. I am also sick of buying a new wardrobe each time, I simply cannot afford to this time!
I also had an appointment with my GP and also much to my horror she tells me I have a heart problem. Apparently one of the valves in my heart no longer works as it is supposed to. Well!! How dare it!!
What to do? Lose weight and get a little fitter! Easy you might think. Not really. I am nearly 50 years old, 49 this year which means nearly 50! I am struggling with my weight, I am pissed off and upset over it and I am like many women my age starting my journey through menopause! Oh joy oh fun! Oh and just to make life even more fun my doctor tells me I WILL have trouble losing weight while in menopuse – “most women do sweetie and since you are prone to weight problems you can guarantee it in your case!” Well thanks for nothing and thanks for your support!!
I am going to lose this weight if it kills me!
So I thought I would share my journey with you, the reader, if anyone is interested and if no one is interested then that’s ok, writing it down and putting it out there will be theraputic.
Oh!! I can’t spell either!! So sue me.

T-shirts. Who doesn’t have at least one!? Funny t-shirts, rude t-shirts and cute t-shirts, you either love them or not. Personally I think they are brilliant! I mean come on! Where else in the world can you tell someone to go and “fuck off” and get away with it; even get a smile from people over it? Well?
I have a small (well a large actually but don’t tell anyone! ssshhhhhh) collection of “funny” t-shirts. So I thought I would share a few with you. Sassy T-Shirts! Oh and yes I do actually have one of each of these and a few more as well!
Be good people and if you can’t be good then at least be good at it!!

I woke this morning knowing today was going to be a bad day. I was right. I stumbled to the kitchen, put on the kettle and retreated to the bathroom. Freshly showered I emerged ready to start theday. OMG! No coffee!! How could I have no coffee in the house? This was a disaster of major proportions. I never start the day any way but with a mug, a hug mug at that; of coffee!
Out with the car keys and off to the shop for a jar of coffee. Or so I thought. I should have known better! The car of course refused to start. It was too cold. There was ice all over the car, the windscreen wipers were frozen in place! My god! I needed my coffee, I was fading fast. Off I set on foot down the street to get that elusive jar of coffee before iI faded away to nothing.
I finally made it to the shop. Found the coffee and proceeded to the checkout. I lined up behind a little old lady and waited. I like little old ladies, don’t get me wrong, they are generally sweet and loveable but by now i suffering badly for want of caffeine; I needed caffeine!!
This little old lady was sent to try my patience I know she was! She couldn’t find her purse! She couldn’t find the exact change! She needed help to carry her bag!
I need coffee!!!!
Finally!! I got my coffee and headed home.
I made my coffee; just in time to save my sanity; and put some bread in the toaster. Damn it all I was running late! I opened the cupboard to get the jam for my toast and…. I don’t fucking believe it!!!!
There was a jar of coffee!
