Wow what a fast working week - mad but fast! Things are heating up now that we are approaching the last financial year of PCTs - and the GPs are getting geared up to commission - all interesting if confusing!

Amongst the confusion of the the NHS world I have managed to do okay this week on my shaping up. The group met again today and some are beginning to flag - so Peter showed us a 5lb lump of fat - so ugly and glad I have shifted two of those over the 5 weeks of food diaries, calorie counting, stepping and trying to cast of junk (most of) and stepping up on 5 a day fruit and vegetables.......not easy but 5k has come off. Just a pity I have still got a few stones to shift but I will do it.

I have decided that this weekend I re-join the Quad gym/swim club - it is a lovely one in the Crown Plaza Hotel and even the swimming will help - even better that I can wear a bikini and not look too grotesque - because I am so uncomfortable in the swimming suits.

So here goes to a great weekend - Robert and I will be out for coffee in the morning and I want to shop a little but I want to walk, walk, walk to get this fat shifted!! If you want to join me in my shaping up it'd be great to hear from you and how you are going about it.
