Meat Market aka The Gym
My gym really is something else. You can literally see the girls preening and the men flexing their muscles, they are all so obvious about it! When a class comes out of the studio, the men drop what they are doing and watch all the women walk past. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. And then there is me, trying hard to hide the sweaty mess that I have become.
I literally do not...

Be quiet up there!!
We got a letter through the door at the beginning of last week from our downstairs neighbours, a couple in their 40/50’s. We live in a house with a self contained ground floor flat and 1st floor flat and we live on the first floor.
So this letter started out with talks about the bins and how we had been putting our recycling in the wrong bin – which is fair enough, we weren’t sure and did just...

Going to school
I have another class tonight :)
The last one was really interesting - have I already posted about this? I seem to have lost track of my tumblr recently.
If I haven’t written about it, we discussed Cleopatra and her reputation. How reputation can be built and changed and how actually she was probably a very nice woman who was unfairly portrayed by the opposing side.
If I have written...

still dropping...
I am still losing weight :) I’ve lost 9lbs since I started in January, I’m glad that it is coming off slowly - it means that it will stay off.
I’m even getting to the stage where I really dont hate going to the gym!
The nicest part about this all - a work colleague who I haven’t seen in 3 weeks said to me yesterday ‘you look like you’ve lost weight’...

A million words and not enough time
I seem to have a problem with studying. I have all the best intentions to study and then I ruin them by not bothering to study.
I am going to put in an hour tonight no matter what!

Languages
I got my European Phrasebook in the post last week! Leigh was trying out all the languages and being very funny with it. We are going to have to learn key words for 5 countries so need to get practicing. I just wish I was better at them – languages have never been my strong point but it’s important to make the effort!
Time is going so slowly – I need the next 6 months to fly by so I can be at that...

A student again..
Have my first class today, I am officially a student again, which has its bonus/negative points.
Bonus: I’m working towards a degree and studying a subject I am interested in
Negative: I have to study, and do essays and basically meet deadlines, which I am ridiculously bad at.
I have just started reading my set book (which I should have already read probably) for this section and it’s Dr Faustus....

Anonymous asked: you aspire to be chunky and unhealthy? she inspires larger lazy girls not to give a shit about being overweight because its ok because 'men like curves'. i'm a guy and i speak for the majority of guys when i say that men prefer smaller girls, not skinny, regular. they just say shit like that so bigger girls dont feel depressed. shes photoshopped to hell, bet shes not as confident...

First Anon Post.
It addresses the fact that in my last post (with Christina Hendricks) I put that all women should aspire to be like this.
They are not the first person to comment on this - in fact it seems that a few people aren’t happy about it, even my best friend commented on it and said that my view was incorrect.
I will say what I said to her - that I see so many thinspo blogs on here and they make...
