Chesty McBoob's blog post - Just musing

We spent some time pic taking last night.

We haven't taken any for ages, partly cos we've been really busy and generally tired which is a bit sad. Also though cos since I gave up smoking in April I seem to have put on about half a stone of excess lard, all of which seems to be settling around my middle.

This is, of course, not only assisted by a slightly slowed metabolism (I guess) but also by the fact that I am eating a diet mostly consisting of chocolate. God I love chocolate now!

The one thing I would change about getting older is to re-distribute any weight I put on around my body - my earlobes and my feet are looking a bit thin, they could do with some extra lard. It's only the last couple of years that this has happened and it really annoys me. I don't mind wrinkles and grey hair but don't want a belly like a barrel!

Now my hols are nearly over and I have a wedding and Xmas fesitivies to look forward to, I really need to knuckle down, get back to the gym and cut down on all the bad things I am currently enjoying. C'est la vie!

Anyway we spent a bit of time posing and taking pics so that I don't look too much like Tweedeldum or Tweedeldee. Think they are ok for now but hope to be posting more svelte pics soon!

Oh god I have to go and throw up now as there seems to be a Shania Twain day on the music channel I'm currently watching. That's one way of losing the weight - listening to Shania's wailing all day! (apols to any fans out there but she, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion make me hurl!).
