Hi - it has been so good today to catch up on home and family things since I have been pushing myself at work all week and that has been my main focus.  

Alex too has had a busy week - first week at her new College with her journey across London to Angel and all the steps at the station taking it out of her!!!!  that's before she starts the heavy 6th form work.  She has enjoyed the social life anyway - new friends - new journeys and new surroundings in that lovely part of London.

So before I start another busy working week with everything going on (NHS Changes are all over the place and cause us loads of HR work - but I really love my role) - I need to make sure that I catch up here.......

Today has been good.....Alex and I spent a bit of time shopping - she managed to buy another dress at the end of summer - for her party tonight at Josh's - a friend from school days just gone!!

Today for me was a 5000 steps day and Robert and I enjoyed fish and chips tonight from the Custom House Chippy!!  I have learned to keep calories low when I want a treat like this and how I enjoyed that meal!!  My old ways would have involved fitting in chocolate immediately after a meal but that has stopped now.  I am allowed chocolate or anything else of course but it is good to in control enough to decide I don't want it!!

Tomorrow is a 10000 steps day - the last one this week and I will enjoy a lovely London walk.

I'll get up early for that and whilst Alex has a sleepover at Ashley's house I will walk, walk and walk some more before making dinner for Robert, Alex and myself. Talk again soon x
