I'm trying to eat less. It's not going well. I just followed a lovely healthy salad lunch with crisps and a packet of Minstrels. Bah.
The reason for my new 'eating less' regime (let's not call it a diet) is that I have to walk down the aisle behind Claire in two months, and I don't want my pretty bridesmaid frock to loudly burst open at the seams during the wedding dinner. Or worse, the speeches.
I'm supposed to be starting some exercise soon too (hang on... sorry, I was just a bit sick in my mouth). I'm not really an exercise kind of gal. This morning I bought my first ever sports bra, because two black eyes might ruin the wedding look too (most of you don't know what I look like, but let's just say my body... wasn't built for speed). I'm going to pilates and salsa classes, not that I've actually started either yet. Apparently you're not allowed to drink during pilates, so we'll have to go to the pub after.
Urgh, exercise. Designed to make you feel inadequate and like a poor specimen of humanity. Urgh.

7 readers just couldn't let me have the last word:
As a nearly constant dieter, I feel your pain, but also slightly hate you for never having to need to before... As far as exercise goes, I bought a cheap-ass exercise bike from Tesco(£35) so I could do it, without having to get all sweaty in front of people, and watch TV/a DVD at the same time. It's a win-win situation.
Don't hate me. If it's any consolation, my organs are probably swathed in life-threatening fat, while yours are all slim and pink and healthy and stuff.
The exercise bike isn't a bad idea...
Haha, I am ridiculously healthy, like, if pretty bitter about still being well on the chubby side despite everything. This may have something to do with the fact I live off of rabbit food and beer.
I pinched the bike idea from someone else, but it's great. I initially got a horrendously cheap one from eBay (99p) and after it broke I upgraded, as I use it way more than I ever thought I would. Certainly cheaper than joining a gym, too.
A sports bra? How fast are you planning to go down the aisle? Salsa classes sound fun though (I love dips).
This post made me laugh a lot; thanks.
I love the idea of wearing a sports bra for Salsa dancing! Might not go with your strappy dress and heels but you'll be well protected and ready for those energetic lifts!
The sports bra is actually for pilates, just to clarify... Although wearing it in everyday life might make running for the bus a less uncomfortable experience.
I just like the Dodgeball reference. It is a meme to encourage.
