Hi - what a beautiful sunny and hot Bank Holiday Monday we have had here in London........Alex went off with 3 friends to Notting Hill Carnival - had a great time and was barely home but I dropped her up to Plaistow for a sleepover!!  

Robert and I set out in the car today and I had to turn around because he took unwell - shivering and shaking.  Fortunately he is okay now - well not 100% but much better.

So what happened to my steps?......I have to say I was tempted to abandon them and make up for it in the week - but the first day of the week is a bad time to have a rest because it puts me under pressure on the week-end, and next week-end I am busy and won't have much time to Step.

I did nearly all of today's steps indoors....so by the time I had finished I was red and hot but boy it did feel good to complete them.  Think I will do Monday to Friday steps this week - it is far easier to fit them into my working week than on week-ends at present.  

So what can I do differently this week to speed up my weight loss plan?  I am going to try most days to have only 1000 calories....and more water.  Of course I am slightly less fat but I am still too big - I am still in my size 16s - albeit they are a bit looser - but I need to be size 14 very soon.  OK I may not be properly into a size 14 for 12th September but I will get there soon!!

So I start my 5th week - and I mean business - feel free to join me - I need all the moral support I can get!  Bye for now.........
