No loose no gain
06 Nov 2013, 18:53
Hi everyone, Back from the land of Texas where everything is bigger and better. Had such a blast friend wise and shopping wise :D
Yesterday suffered from the big jet lag and when I managed to get onto the scales /measuring tape today it showed no gain in kg nor in cm. In fact, all that walking around had made my tights loose a cm or two.

No that I have had very much not-good-to-you for eating and have exercised more than usual by wandering around the show, so I feel good, managing on great.

Am tired beyond tired, will try to get through at least until 9pm…..

If anyone is following my blog ( the one not with this forum), it will be a little bit more updated tomorrow.

Welcome back & it's good you did not gain weight & I am hoping to do the same on my holiday. But sorry to be pedantic! Did you mean lose as in opposite to gain rather than loose which means to slacken? :confused:

Hehe, well you know I'm Swedish so at time my English get a bit confusing. I meant that I lost some cm, but on the other hand can say that my trousers are more loose :smile:

Like Isis, I get disappointed by people confusing loose and lose (and absolutely abhor "text speak" and lack of capital letters) in posts.

I offer the mnemonic "Loose Women Lose Weight" for those having difficulty!

As I said - I'm Swedish so English is not my first language. But I think I'm pretty good at it nevertheless? :wink:

Och din svenska är fantastisk (and your Swedish is amazing for the non Swedish speakers).

Not as bad as a saying "The sheet on the bed" with a strong french accent!!! I remember a French lady, fluent in English, saying how she had never managed to work out how to say the word "sheet" without it sounding like "sh*t"! :lol:

My apologies Wolfie because I hadn't noticed that you are Swedish :shock: & as my Swedish is non existent & I have a great admiration for all speakers of more than one language :smile: but I do become frustrated when native English speaking people don't recognise the difference between lose & loose. I hope I am forgiven?
