I think you should do the exercise bike and *then* the chocolate doughnut: absolution in advance.

Cop out answer!

That's what Catholicism is for, isn't it?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Having your sins *and* eating them? :-D

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

But if forced to choose, I guess I'll go with the doughnut.

The surest way to a happier Britain.

If you walk to the shop and then walk back you'll probably have walked off the chocolate doughnut (or possibly not).

[altariel.livejournal.com]

The shop is only about three minutes walk away, unfortunately.

Who said anything about Britain? I'm talking about me here, and you. In these neo-Thatcherite times, everyone has to fight for their own doughnuts. And if you're from one of the new members of the EU, then tough: there'll be no doughnuts for you, mate.

Or, if there are any doughnuts, they won't have jammy or chocolatey fillings. Did Britain negotiate a doughnut opt-out? Or is our doughnut policy subject to Brussels?

I think that's one of the 'red lines' - drawn by Tony Blair with his very own jam.

*splutters!*

Exercise bike. And fifty star jumps. Just because I'm putting on weight doesn't give anyone else an excuse to slack off.

I love that mixture of concern for my health and unrepentant sadism.

If it's any consolation, I was mixing hill sprints with interval training yesterday. Then a friend who was in need of asphalt therapy dragged me out for an hour and a half's run.

No doughnuts in sight, either...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

You're potty.

Then a friend who was in need of asphalt therapy dragged me out for an hour and a half's run.

When I saw "asphalt therapy" I wondered if the asphalt was to be administered internally. Which, come to think of it, would be rather more fun.

Hey, you can read on an exercise bike, but you can't read when you're walking over Chez Dougnnut (although if there's a long enough queue to buy the doughnut I suppose you can read then).

I've found I don't exercise as well on the bike when I read. I need to set up some elaborate headpiece that clips onto a book and leaves my hands free, except when I need to turn a page.

[seemag.livejournal.com]

Hee! I needed the giggle (g).

[seemag.livejournal.com]

I think you ought to do both. I regularly balance my workouts with a chocolately slab of cake.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

;-D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I seemed to have compromised with fifteen minutes on the bike and a slab of bread and tuna pate.
