Revolutionaries of The Shiney Path - The Gorillas In Our Midst Eat Healthily

1007 replies

BitOfFun · 02/10/2009 19:59

Welcome to our 22nd Healthy Eating thread under the auspicious eye of Shiney the Cult Leader. She is vegetarian (like a gorilla), but you don't have to be! Or hairy!

I may be getting distracted by my over-cryptic thread title (it is hard when all the obvious ones have been done- fwiw The Shining Path are a South American guerrilla group and I'm looking at watching Che on dvd later, what can I say...), but I have been appointed Tsar With Authority for Titles, and starting this on a Friday night may be ill-judged, BUT...

We are here with the aim of eating healthily, losing weight in varying amounts if that is what we wish, and most of all posting as often as we're able to support each other. We have a good laugh too. Allegedly. But we're no trouble, no siree...

New-comers very welcome, just introduce yourselves and pile in!

hi Mavis - I used to do Rosemary Connelly a lot, flatmate did guy called Micah Bo - she is now skinny as beanpole and I.. well I'm on a diet thread. It's kickboxing-esqe and pretty good (I don't mean the Rosemary one, obviously). Never used a celebrity style one, think would be too busy vomiting to exercise. (Maybe that's how they make you lose weight).
I need alcohol.

I'm off o bed. Night all

Oh, and i only have one ancient crappy pilates DVD so no help there i'm afraid

Salsavita · 02/10/2009 22:01

I'm hitting the sack too ladies.

Night to you all.

HidingInTheZoo · 02/10/2009 22:08

I was still hiding on the other thread and posting

HidingInTheZoo · 02/10/2009 22:10

Dib too attempts at name suggestions.

And the rest of you - have we given up the concept of filling threads before abandoning them?

MavisGrind · 02/10/2009 22:13

Night Salasa and Sazz, won't be far behind you (not meant to sound stalkerish).

I like the sound of kick-boxerish or dance-y however (although it does make me feel a bit tired just thinking about it). Much lol at vomiting to the celebrity 'style' ones. Back to trawling through amazone I suppose.

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 22:24

Maybe we should make our own exercise dvd? We could suggest our favourite moves - eg the iggi-arm-stretch-spreading-nutella-on-toast move?

BiteOfFun · 02/10/2009 22:32

Fucking inspired! There is mileage in that idea, for sure

MavisGrind · 02/10/2009 22:33

We could have a cool down session which involves repeatedly opening the fridge door "and stretch 2,3,4 and snacks, 2,3,4"..

Off to bed. Night all.

BewareTheFullMoon · 02/10/2009 22:34

DEM spins in with new coat and continue to spin off to bed. Night all.

NormaSknockers · 02/10/2009 22:36

Argh! Here was me thinking I hadn't missed to much & then I see the new thread with 3 pages already! My brain can't cope with 2 threads I'm going to camp out on the other thread til it's all used up in protest

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 22:38

The typing moves alone must be a calorie-burner, surely.

50ftQueenie · 02/10/2009 22:39

Hello hello! I'm back and have been a good diet girl for a week so I feel able to come back and keep up the good work! Liking the Halloween names ladies!

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 22:51

Hi there. What's the secret of your success then?

DreamsInBinary · 02/10/2009 22:51

Wa-ha-hey

How's it all going, MM?

50ftQueenie · 02/10/2009 22:58

Hello DIB. All is good with me thank you. How about your lovely self?

Iggorcist - Were you talking to me? If so then will power, pure and simple. Plus running out of clothes that fit! I haven't been exercising too much this week as I have had a horrible cold. DD has been teething so went on a med one milk-wise so I was starving all day yesterday but managed to stick to healthy snacks.

I still have no official scan results, but the doctor did call to apologise for not getting back to me sooner & that his secretary would call me next week. He also said that him calling was nothing to worry about. So, we're taking that as good news

BewareTheFullMoon · 02/10/2009 23:10

congrats queenie

{blush] meant to go to bed but got suckered into the nm thread made me though.

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 23:13

Excellent to have stuck to diet despite having cold Queenie! That always does it for me. I sniffle, I snack.

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 23:15

My mother coming tomorrow to stay for few days. Need to go to bed to prepare for tomorrow's cleaning onslaught. Hopefully she'll be too chuffed at seeing DS to look at the dust. Or mould.

50ftQueenie · 02/10/2009 23:15

Just noticed the exercise video idea. We could even get MN to show them in their MN video section.

50ftQueenie · 02/10/2009 23:17

Iggorcist - Thank you. I am normally terrible when I have a cold. I usually go off healthy food completely and send DH to the shop for chocolate, crisps and Cherry Coke. But not this time......!

BewareTheFullMoon · 02/10/2009 23:19

Hides packet of custard biscuits that was being eaten for tea.
Right turning off finally.
Night.

TheIggorcist · 02/10/2009 23:28

Me too. Sweet pleasant dreams all

TrillianAstra · 03/10/2009 02:59

Oh you've all gone to bed. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised

Very naughty to not have even got close to finishing the old thread.

StrictlySazz · 03/10/2009 07:06

Morning. Good night Trill?
