Brad Pitt naked to lose weight?

Ok so anonymous has asked for me to write something on my blog so here I am! I must admit that I have actually been waiting until I had something really fantastic to say. Waiting, waiting!

Still going to the gym but have been chopping and changing days so there hasn’t been a consistent pattern for awhile. 3 days one week, 4 days the next etc. I tell you what though the beautiful days are making me wish that I wasn’t stuck inside the gym and knew someone who could write me a program for outdoors and around the home. Oh wait I do know someone and they read my blog and can do it, so get to it! You know who you are.

Anyway I found an article in the Australian Healthy Food guide that caught my eye. I think that it may be a monthly publication but I am not sure as I don’t recall buying it before. Have you ever been to a shop and thought “well I will buy flavoured milk because it is milk and that is good for you and I am an athlete so it is ok to drink” Well I have…. Ice Coffee is my flavoured milk of choice. So this article says that:

“Flavour milk drinks can be high in sugar and artificial additives” and here I was thinking that it just came from a different kind of cows. That is only slightly tongue in cheek because with a lot of foods and drinks we don’t really know what is in them until we read the labels properly.

The best piece advice in the magazine was written by Frank Varano who is a guitarist (apparently). He said:

A great way to lose weight is to eat naked in front of a mirror. Restaurants will almost always throw you out before you can eat too much!

Oh the mind boggles doesn’t it? Brad Pitt doesn’t need to lose weight but I can’t help thinking what he would look like trying!

Thank you for coming back to the Blogosphere Shell, and you haven't disappointed your fans. As usual you have entertained and amused.

Next time I walk into a restaurant that has a mirror of any noticeable size I think I'll just walk straight back out again.

As for those 'brown cows' (both the darker ones and the lighter ones)- pity they don't lay off the sugar cubes. The 'pink cows'- well they're just as bad.

Keep up the good work Shell.

Thanks for coming back Shell. i also love just your day to day battles that you often talk about and the stories you tell about BOG (actually i've always said that i have the Body of a Goddess as well, it just happens to be the Venus of Willendorf). Keep up the good work.

I think there are a few of us out here that could own up to being more like a VOW than the BOG that Shell sometimes talks about.
