Can't believe that today is 21st of February already - and by now I could have been slimmer, trimmer and toned - so why not?

I am feeling quite focused, quite strong - enough to cope with current challenges and quite ready for my new role in the NHS but I do need still to go further than this.

I have a pedometer, I have a gym/swim membership, I have good food in and I have all the resources I need to get slim and yet I still need to remember to start new habits, break old habits and stick to them!!

I have been so glad recently with so much to challenge me personally. Robert's illness means that I need to be and stay strong - it is a bit of an emotional roller-coaster at times and yet I am quite calm and peaceful. So many times as a Christian I know that I need to apply my faith - to simply put my hand in God's hand and trust - and yet it is too easy to bring cares to Christ and take them back again! However I am managing to apply my faith to this situation and that makes me stronger.

So this week I need to get my head around being strong around chocolate and goodies which are bad for me - wish me well!
