Fat and Happy

What is the deal when you meet someone and fall in love? Why do people always get fatter? In the case of many of my friends this is a good thing. Rhyll has put on weight since she met Justin, she no longer looks like a starving third world albino. Ben has chubbed up since meeting Faye, and we all know how skinny he is. Faye has put on some healthy weight, as has Renee.

But then you get to me who has now put on 5KG! At first it was that fluctuation weight. You know you can weight 2kg different one end of the day to the other so I wasn't too worried, but now its slowly creeping up and permanent! Argh!

So it's time to get the running cranking again. Also I hope my 'ride my bike to work every Thur' plan will work.

Today is my birthday and I have been given a wicked heart rate monitor thanks to my gorgeous Tony Polony. However I firstly have to work out how to use it! It has more bells and whistles than I can poke a stick at! The wicked thing though is that it has a footpod which is like a pedometer and helps you work out how far you have run each time. Sweet!

With any luck this will get my motivation in running going again.
