Weight Loss Progress #1

Posted on January 31, 09

Filed under mind, body & spirit

Well the month started well; I had lost 2kg in the first two weeks, but then plateaued and was sitting on 103kg for the whole of last week. However, I then started walking again yesterday and getting back into Wii Fit the day before that, so I’ve since lost .6kg in the last couple of days, which is great for me. 2.6kg in the first month wasn’t my goal – I wanted to lose at least 4kg (1kg a week) – but because I plateaued due to a couple of big family events (i.e. food) then that set me back a bit.
But, back on the horse again and I hope to be 102kg, if not lighter, by Wednesday next week

Dear Internet,

I love you. You are my lifeline to the world, and I’ve made so many friends because of you. But, you house some of the biggest annoyances in my life also.

Number one – please ensure that everyone spells correctly, and uses correct grammar and punctuation. There’s nothing I hate more than reading an article on someone’s site when it’s something like the following:

i went to the docters and they told me that i had to start excersizing more becoz i am getting to fat. ive tired so many timez to try and loze weihgt, but it just doesnt come of!

(By the way, I made that up – it’s not from someone’s site!)
I don’t mind a little crazy ‘net speak’ every now and then – talking like LOLCats is funny sometimes (teh invisible buttsecks!), but if someone is writing a long, informative article for their readers, it’s more likely that the reader will give up after trying to understand what the author is saying before reading the whole article.

Number two – please quit housing dumbfucks. I frequent a little site called YouTube, and I read some of the most ridiculous comments sometimes. Stuff like:

I wasted 4:56 watching this shit?!

Um, if you don’t like what you’re seeing, then turn it off. You have freewill, you know. No-one is sitting there FORCING you to watch the damned video. This is particularly the case where a video starts off in an obviously stupid-for-entertainment way; you know it’s going to be a stupid video in the first five seconds, so why watch the last 4:51 of it when you know this? Do you not have a sense of judgement?

Number three – tell the obnoxious bitches to fuck off. I’m sick of seeing these girls who think they’re ‘all that and a bag of potato chips’, when they’re just all clones of each other. I thought that the idea of growing up was becoming your own person and finding your own groove; since when do I have to look and sound like everyone else to be “cool”. It fucking sucks, to be honest.

I know none of this is your fault, Internet – it’s all a societal thing – but you could help. Please?

Love always,
Terri xx
