Well another weekend almost over and feeling good! I don't take forgranted the fact that I really do love working in HR - that doesn't mean that it is easy or always good fun or that people don't get on my nerves sometimes but generally I love my job and so the thought of Monday and the week ahead is normally a positive one!

I have done far better this week - Robert is home again and that is always helpful when the regular trips to Barts stop for a while......also to have us together as a family at home does help us to function better.

This is a challenging month for Alex and yet we are so proud of her because she has finished her job with the City Airport since she successfully found a job at Jamies Italian restaurant at Canary Wharf. All this change and yet she is studying well and seems well motivated to get good grades in her A Levels.

I am nervous for Alex and really hope she does well but I am confident that whatever the results she will do well.

So what about my shape up? Well I have had some positive comments this week which have helped - someone thought I was a smaller size than I am - and she is a size 6-8!! Also Robert noticed my waist is beginning to come in again....a bit to go again but I have managed to resist a lot of goodies (well baddies but you know what I mean!)

I am trying to eat far better and less in the evenings - also then I don't need to feel guilty in having an occasional treat. It is important that I enjoy my food of course and I am - anchovies, beetroot, oatcakes and hummous, porridge, cornflakes, lime juice and so on!

At work I am trying to leave off the coffee and stay on green tea mostly which should help.

With summer here life is positive - easy to get out and about so no excuses not to move eh?

See you later.
