Saturday 28.2.09. Last day of February and I’ve had a long tough day doing chores. It’s about 10 pm and I’ve just ordered a large Hawaiian pizza at the Pizza shop to share with my flatmate Roz. The pizza will be ready in ten minutes and that leaves me with some time to kill. So I figured I would pop into the nearby Sainsbury convenience store and browse the magazine section. Being skint, I wasn’t planning on actually buying anything. I know it’s not a library but I figured I had bought enough stuff in Sainsbury not to feel too guilty about doing it. Anyway, a copy of Men’s Health Magazine caught my eye. There were some pretty big claims pasted on the magazine’s front cover. ’23 All-New Tricks For Perfect Abs’ ‘Drop 15lb in 6 weeks’ ‘Lean Muscle Fast! One Month to a body she can’t resist’ All for £3.95. As an offer, you have to admit, it’s pretty hard to beat. I used to think this was a load of complete balls but then I thought – let’s try out the advice. For one month, I will follow the advice as closely as I can and see whether I do end up losing 15 lbs, build not only killer abs but a body that she (whoever the hell she is) can’t resist. Because obviously, the devil makes work for idle hands.
