Hello - I have just enjoyed a lovely meal at Rotary, Barking as well as an interesting talk from Hannah who is a fitness trainer who has applied to study medicine.

Hannah spoke to us about the importance of exercise alongside healthy eating and she confirmed some important truths for me.

Once useful tip was to concentrate on what you can include in your diet - not what you can't include and it will change your way of thinking!!

She also emphasised the importance of brisk exercise - moderate intensity for 30 minutes on 5 days.......so my walking needs to step up a bit I think!!  No more strolling for some of my steps if I want to lose weight.

O I am so looking forward to being slim by Christmas - of course I will also be much slimmer within the next 3- 4 weeks if I concentrate even more!!  Bye for now x
