Apparently…
I am a Buddhist Nazi.
“a general rant that doesn’t go anywhere
in particular”
We were talking.
It seemed general opinion that I have
‘STRONG POLITICAL VIEWS”
That’s news to me.
I never find myself completely aligned
to any of the ‘main’ parties.
Buddhist-Nazi actually not accurate,
on the whole,
I would have certainly done without the Xenophobia
and the Vegetarianism for a start.
(Bacon sandwiches being the universal cure for even the most strident of vegetarians)
And the needless slaughter of millions of innocents.
But the Nazis were the first to ban vivisection…
Started the anti-tobacco movement
made enormous strides in animal conservation
Whilst still being the most evil collective
in modern history.
Bloody love Buddhism.
Still learning.
I’m no expert – will report back.
I tried religion.
I mean, I THREW myself into that.
But it didn’t work out with me
and the big fella.
I won’t post publicly about that
but feel free to ask privately.
Please don’t pray for my soul,
save that for something that has a trump in hell’s
chance of being effective.
You know the quote:
“It´s warm down there and I´ll know people”
The thing I have noticed,
about life
and about people
and about events
is that things are never as cut and dried
as all that.
I like some things that each of the main
Political Parties say,
And I detest other things that each of them say.
So voting is important, but tricky.
Faith – great
(for scientific reasons I am happy to
PM you with, but not post, out of respect)
Religion – not so much.
There was a Yummy Mummy story this week
which had half of us bawling our eyes out.
This wonderful lady of faith, knew of a young lad
who had nothing.
Really nothing.
No support, and nothing he should have.
And she noticed his bike was falling apart
(This lady has some very testing things
of her own to deal with
which she does elegantly – and with a huge
pretty smile, whenever I see her)
So helped to find him a bike.
A lovely blue one.
And his eyes filled up at the generosity.
“he squeaked out a thank you”
and was overwhelmed by
what people had done.
Dammit – filling up again….
And I have seen some really mercenary
manipulative things
all in the name of religion.
And then there’s the elegant,
kind-hearted lady – living it.
She did what she reckoned was right.
And it made me think.
It’s OK.
It is perfectly OK to think what you think.
To not conform to a ‘label’,
to like what you like
to believe what you believe
without fear of what other people might think.
I worry sometimes that I am too moderate
about fitness.
I read emails every day from people
who believe dairy is poison.
That gluten is the work of Satan.
But I won’t lie
I love making bread
and eating really good cheese.
I am not going to be a hypocrite.
I am healthy.
I am moderate.
I am writing this with a glass of
Prosecco on the go.
Of course that is going to stop the
processes of the other systems of my body
and impede metabolism.
But I am in my bikini, in the garden,
(possibly being perved on by the neighbours)
and the sun is shining,
and surely life would be bit dull
if I couldn’t even do this!
I could, for profit purposes
impose an ‘impossible to sustain’ regime
on those that come to train with me.
Lose a stone in 2 weeks.
Consume only juice,
no gluten or dairy
weigh your food.
Well that’s just mental
but possible.
Bum to that.
I would never keep it up.
I wouldnt expect anyone else to.
I used to feel guilty about that,
but I don’t any more.
I see people easily adopting subtle
additions and tweaks to their lives,
Cutting out the nachos,
eating lovely fresh veg
– as much as they want.
And I see it work.
and I know it’s for the long haul.
That’s me.
That’s the way I do things.
That’s what I BELIEVE is right.
I haven’t got a snappy name or label for it.
Because it doesn’t need one.
Same way as Buddhist Nazi is a pointless label.
It’s just, like these emails are – what I reckon.
I like a laugh.
I can’t be bothered to exercise for its own sake.
It has to be a laugh.
Lazy, I know.
With regard to getting in shape,
you have to do what you reckon.
Do you want to ‘feel the burn’?
Or do you like a laugh?
Do you want to weigh your protein powder
or ENJOY your lunch?
Do you want to strive for a 10K run?
Or enjoy a night out with the girls.
Decide what you reckon,
what you will maintain.
And sod anyone who tells you
that your way is wrong.
If our way suits you
then come and see us on Wednesday
if you’re in the area.
7:45pm Bishopstoke Memorial Hall.
It’s a laugh.
It’s dancing, and tummy stuff and bum stuff,
and Yoga.
And Claire does some sneaky positive stuff with your
nut.
And if you want to pay weekly
(and therefore get a ridiculously low price)
or get 6 for the Price of 5
Or just drop in.
Stay gorgeous
