The Elephant in the Room

And no it is not me... the elephant in question is the cross trainer I bought three weeks ago. The first week I burnt off 1200 calories, the second week I burnt off 450 calories, the third week.... ummm, well we won't talk about that. It seems that my plan has worked in reverse as the intention was to increase the number of calories burnt on a week to week basis.

I decided to locate it in my sitting room with the television so that I could watch GMTV whilst working up a sweat. And there it has stayed for three weeks. The interesting thing is that Keith (my husband) has not mentioned it and neither have my daughter and her boyfriend (who moved in with us two weeks ago - temporarily I hasten to add). It is as thought the cross trainer is a taboo subject and by ignoring it the contraption will disappear. Unfortunately, it is too heavy for me to "relocate" and the subject will have to be addressed in the very near future. I may start using it again though as it appears my scales are not accurate and my BMI is higher than I thought - assuming the scales at the Manor Hospital are accurate of course. My operation is schedule for 29th March but more on that in a future post as I need to decide what to do about the elephant in the room.
