fadagaskiHave lost 12lbs in 5 weeks, so am obviously quite chuffed. Not very many slip-ups on the way either, which is very encouraging. Haven't had a bite of chocolate or a packet of crisps in weeks. I find I don't even miss crap food.
Running today was ... strenuous. It was Week 4 Day 1, which involves 5 minutes of running at the very start. I've been wearing heavy work shoes all weekend, on my feet at the pub for 7+ hours on Saturday and Sunday. I could definitely feel the strain of it in my muscles this morning. I'm confident I can run a full 4 minutes on the flat by the end of week. Then I'll just repeat the week again and hey presto, I'll be doing 5 minutes up the hill no problem!
Some people shouldn't have animals. There's a family in Brandon who own a field and about 15 horses where I run. The horses are half-wild, never brushed, living off grass. Not abused, or even really neglected. But today I had to herd one back into the field, then block a hole with wire and bits of string. I mean, Jesus, if that pony had spooked and run into traffic ... It doesn't bear thinking about.
Watching The King's Speech again. Such a fantastic movie. It deserves every award for which it's eligible.

Big spoilers
Date: 2011-02-17 07:06 am (UTC)There are some great stuff thoug! Morgause is badass and awesome, Cenred is hot, the Slash Dragon is a bitch and Gwaine is pure love.
The next parragraph's really spoilery, be warned.
The scene in which Merlin poisons Morgana is one of the best things I've seen. Arthur finds out about his birth and tries to kill Uther (and then they hit the reset button on that one). We see Ygraine and Merlin's dad, the round table, the Lady of the Lake and Excalibur and Gwaind. Just Gwaine.
