Hi all,

My first ever moan, I dont do a lot of moaning in real life either but here it goes.

I have a few friends on here, not many and one of them I know in real life too. I always encourage my friends on here, like even the small "3 cals burned by polishing a door knob" kind of stuff, not because I want encouragement in return but because I trully believe that it helps to motivate people.
Saying that, I climbed a mountain last week, yep, I hauled my *kitten* up pissing Helvellyn in the lake district, UK. I was such an achievement for me as I am petrified of heights and am not that fit :laugh: I burned over 3000 cals doing so, did I get a single comment? did I balls!!
Just peed me off a bit lol over it now obviously but..you know.

Anyhoo, keep smiling everyone!

Alexis :flowerforyou:

    Good for you!

    Do it for yourself, if someone else appreciates it that's a bonus!

    I'd have to say though I would mock the people that record calories for silly stuff, I have a flight of stairs between me and the bathroom and I'll be damned if I'm going to bother logging that trip. :smile:

    Ha I know, some of them are pretty funny but hey, a cal is a cal I suppose. I do do this for me and my health but it would be nice if now and again my efforts go noticed.
    I live in a 3 story house and im constantly up and down the stairs but I dont log it, id probably forget.

    Congratulations, good for you! Honestly.

    But I have to say I was disappointed. I opened the thread hoping to hear you moan and all I got was a little rant. :grumble:

    Thank you! I am very proud, I feel sorry for my fiance though, he did it too and had to put up with me all the way to the top :laugh: I did a fair bit of crying due to the height etc but I think ive definitely got over the fear now.

    Keep in mind why you are here and why you are doing this. For YOU! As long as you remember that, your accomplishments are rewarded by the pride in your heart.

    Be proud!!

    If someone doesn't interact with me for a week (and I can see they are active on MFP), I cut them. I am not here to be collected.
