Travelling without moving

In an attempt to help shift some of my KitKat based lardyness I went to the gym after work and did 20 minutes on the treadmill and it looks like I’ll be getting quite acquainted with the treadmill as joggerblogger has thrown down a Run Every Day In June challenge, which will be perfectly possible if I give up my day job, my part-time business and don’t go out in June. Um. So a rethink was in order and if I do a mile here and there at lunchtime on the treadmill I should be able to do it. I think. It may also mean a couple of early morning runs too. Eek.

Today I also made one of the biggest decisions of my life ever. I have decided not to watch Big Brother this year. I don’t think I’ve got the time to dedicate an hour every evening for the next three months watching it and every year I hate it more and more but still carry on watching it and it’s going to clash with The Apprentice which, after all, is just BB for growns up anyway isn’t it?

I have BB cold turkey already though. How am I going to turn on the telly at 9 for The Apprentice without flicking over for a quick peek at this year’s freaks on BB?

  • Well done on the run 😀 and glad to see that you will be doing a run a day (I’m not 100% looking forward to it).

    I’m not sure if I will watch BB this year… maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeee – maybe not…

  • I couldn’t resist turning over after the Apprentice to see if BB was still on. It was. I hate them all already. And they’re all about 12 years old. Yes, I sound like an old git but I don’t care 🙂

  • i tried so hard not to watch! but after 15 mins sky+ ‘ed the pretice and switched over! Hope they throw a stud in there on Friday – should be amusing…

    ps. i’d so be rising to jogger’s challenge if i was allowed to run every day!

  • Humph! No one bothered to tell me that BB started again. I’ve just flicked over from back to back Apprentice and all I’m getting is the last 5 mins of Desperate Housewives. How did I miss that as well?

    Anyway, I’m sure my life is to busy to lose an entire 6 months to another bunch of morons. I’m going to steer clear. Although I notice BB Big Mouth is on next. mmmm.

  • Oh noooooooo, you’re all as bad as me, I thought you’d all hate BB and say “don’t watch it, get a life”.

    I’m not watching it tonight. I’m not I’m not I’m not.

  • I don’t care to much about shows like BB.I don’t hardly watch any tv unless I am that bored.I watch Boston Legal,and Grey’s .And one of my good friends,she like to watch WWF.

  • Love the title of your post!
    I hate running on treadmills – but do walk on them to warm-up at the gym.
