Why do we do these things to ourselves!!

It’s happened. Christmas and New Year is over. The bumper tin of Hero’s now contains only a few tragic Fudge bars, strategically hiding under empty wrappers. The last of the cheese is past its best and omits a ripe stench every time you open the fridge. And the days of hunkering down in your PJs with Girls - Season five on and an endless supply of Cold Feet, (I’ve nearly caught up now!), have been and gone.

Enter a new era. One of diets, deprivation and Burlesque Dancing Fitness Classes (Who would have thought flabby bodies prancing around emulating Dita Von Teese would ever take off??).

For it is January, a time when the truly sadistic among us decide to make what is already a traumatic month even more stressful by manically exercising, trying food fads created for people who can afford to shop at their local organic health food shop, and abstaining from alcohol (Come on, that was never going to happen!!).

It's a rubbish month. So why do we insist on making it even more miserable by forcing ourselves to crawl out of a fortnight-long hangover and on to the treadmill with nothing more to sustain us than a juice made up of ginger, beetroots, carrots and apple?

So, to the antidote of this hell on earth, a quick trip to second life where the young and beautiful stay young and beautiful for millennia, phew!!

But what’s this? On a trip to one of my favourite monthly shopping events I find it has been hijacked by the Second Life Fitness Police and more or less every stall has gym wear – NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

So not only am I now guilt tripped in real life, I get the same in my perfect little virtual world, for shame!

However, after a long and heartfelt sigh, I adopted the philosophy of “if you can’t beat them, join them”, and actually, after spending a few Lindens I started to get into the whole virtual fitness malarkey.

Here’s where I spent my wine tokens;
