Exercise! More macaroni cheese! INTO the oven. Wine!
The nice thing about exercise is not so much just after - where I'm bright shiny pink and feel a bit sick from exertion and treat myself to the expensive shower gel - but the next day going about my normal stuff. Now that I'm not getting sore any more, I'm just feeling my body. (not like that). Walking around and feeling it working, understanding I am in control of a sort of machine, and not just a flaccid container carrying round eyes and thoughts. It's nice. Due to all the macaroni cheese and stuff, I doubt I'm really losing weight, but I didn't feel I needed that as much as wanting to just not feel like a slob, and tone up a bit.
Honestly I have freakish muscles. It really only takes a bit of exercise to feel my ridiculous He-Man thighs and biceps appearing. Fat burning takes longer but muscles just billow up like mushrooms overnight. Is that even possible? My parents' nickname for me when I was little was the Incredible Hulk, because I would get so angry when my big sister teased me I would turn green and corner her with my stocky little toddler body and she'd be half-laughing, half terrified. I hated not being taken seriously.
Body builder is a missed career opportunity.
