Twisted Sister in Law

Well it's been quite a week. Following the " launch" last Saturday night...it took a few people days to recover, we attended training on Monday night to find out which dance style we would have to dance. Honey Monster and I were given "The Twist", which does involve a couple of major lifts...Honey Monster looked nervous ! That same night I was advised that I could have a different parthner for the group dance, and Gavin Glitter decided that my dear brother in law, the Spud Farmer was to be my mate....OMG ! What followed was painful, embarassing and hilarious. You see, the group dance involves your partner catching you as you fall back and turning you over twice to bring you back into standing....unless the Spud Farmer is your partner, when you will end up on all fours with him riding you like a cowboy, to the hysterical laughter of all the other dancers. It gets worser ! Later in the dance all the men drop quickly to their knees, to allow the women to "throw a leg over them"....oh no, not the Spud Farmer! He can't be arsed getting to his knees, due to some difficulty in getting back up, so just dropped his head forward and expected me to clear about 5 foot 7 with my kick...I was not impressed and loudly shouted "Get Down" ! This caused Gavin Glitter to stop the class and ask what was going on. It was at this point I uttered the fateful words " He just won't go down" ....yes, EVERYONE found that funny. Gaving Glitter advised the Spud Farmer, he had full permisson to " go down on me"and on we went.
Wednesday night saw 2 and a half hours of training and our first glimpse of our individual dances.......oh lordy the lifts look deadly, and I'm not the one doing the lifting ! We have to choose which song we dance to for 1 minute 30 seconds. I am keen to find the slowest version of the twist ,whereas the Honey Monster wants to go all out and hell for leather...Help ! Our faces have just been erected all over town, so there is no backing out now.....not that I would want to as it's great fun...even if my brother in law won't go down on me !

Running Naked !

Image
Yesterday I announced the the KOK's that I would be running the Judge 6K naked. By naked I meant I was going to leave my smartphone with it's running app in my car, not have it strapped to my arm advising me of every kilometer done, telling me my average speed and generally annoying me. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility and ran my best run yet. http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2013/01/training-tips/naked-running_9269 There's alot to be said for nudity. This, of course got us to talking about actual naked running and wondering if naked runs exist and the difficulties we larger ladies would have. I set my mind to finding out all I could. It appears there is quite a naked running following, particularly, of course, in the old USA. The favourite one is the Caliente Dare to Bare 5k , which has the added advantage of a day long pool party to help you recover. I am fairly confident that alot of cooling down takes place in that pool, but maybe also a little hottin...

Fat Friends

Image
The key to looking slim is hanging around with people who are fatter than you are.I kinda forget this and have failed to make myself look any better due to the fact that those I am most often seen with are all smaller than I. I am not suggesting that I hang around with a bunch of supermodels ( they will not be offended by this). I try to hang with the "built for comfort not for speed" type but the FA has let me down badly a) by turning into a slim person and b) by introducing an even slimmer Sparkle to the group ! And she's meant to be a friend!The Baking Queen is pregnant...thank you, the blonde declares she has put on a stone ( I am not sure but it's good of her to say) and Newly Single has a Thyroid problem...happy days !True friends ! Bigfoodiemama is too big presently. A drastic decision has been made....I will return to WW this Thursday....just before a birthday dinner out with the all of the above for the FA's birthday. I am declaring my intent so that I ha...

Hunky Dory.....NOT !

Image
It was definitely the crisps ! This is the story of a girl who will NEVER eat the green Hunky Dorys EVER AGAIN ! The poor girl ( poetic license) thought last Friday night would be a straightforward evening of chat, dancing, fun at the evening of her first cousins wedding, but it didn't exactly turn out, as she thought it would. Of course The Mad One and the FIS ( fluent Irish speaker) set the wheels in motion, when they met in Lidl and decided that the men were to be left at home, and it would be a girls night out. Again The Mad One compounded matters when she offered to drive and collect the poor girl from her home on Friday evening to make the 90 minute trip to the hotel. On the way, the crack was mighty, but being three women in a car, there had to be a loo and coffee stop, at which point FIS showed her true Irish roots, bu arriving back into the car with a selection of snacks "for the journey home". A large bag of Minstrels and Galaxy Counters ( Minstrels without the ...
