Umbrian food is taking it's toll on my waistline...

Janet saw this up in the gym - and it is a call to action.

The sheer quantity of 'festa-ing' is really starting to take its toll on my (our) waistlines, and even the combined efforts of Spin and running are insufficient. Trousers are tighter and there's easily half a stone more than on arrival around my waistline...

Fortunately, next week is Lent, and so I am going to work on giving up as much as I can of unneccessary sweet treats, including as much 'hidden' sugar as possible. Wine has clearly been excluded from this, though, as it is a major recovery food group - and besides, If I can get the reduction through cutting down elsewhere, there's no need to lose wine as well....

Some of the words here are magnificent - sgonfiarti (deflate yourself), grasso accumulato (accumulated fat), esagerato (exceeding, exaggerated)

All too true..
