About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

Replacing 1 drug with another

Sounds crazy doesn't it, why would you do that.

But honestly it works!

See to me chocolate is a drug, food is a drug it soothes me it calms me it makes me feel high and I crave that feeling.

I've always known another drug that will give me this same feeling, it's just it takes a little more effort and sometimes I couldn't be bothered giving then little more effort.  It's true sometimes it's just easier to drive to the shop (which costs fuel) buy chocolate (which again costs money) and scoff it down in the car before I get home...see quick fix!  But does it last, no it doesn't before I know it I'm down really really way down, even further down than I was before.

So what happens when I decide to put in that little extra effort and replace chocolate with a different drug, a drug called exercise....well not only does it give me that same high it lasts longer.  The last 2 nights I've thrown myself into exercise at night (instead of food) and when I wake the next morning I'm still on a high.  But not just that, it's cheaper I didn't even have to leave the house! And even better it's going to make me fitter, healthier, slimmer, it's setting a good example for my children, it's helping me keep up with my children, it's reducing my risk of certain disease and that is just the start.

And really when I think about it and when I actually do it, it's not that much effort, all I really have to do is put on some shoes.

So the last couple of nights, my drug of choice has been my Wii EA Active sports trainer, I've restarted my 30day challenge (will fill you in on that more as I get further into it) my ab king pro (gotta build up those core muscles that were ruined when I carried a baby elephant for 9months) and my treadmil (oh how I love to run on thee!!!).  Really with the combination of these 3 anything else above and beyond that is just an absolute bonus!!!

What gets you high?????
