Days 92 - 107 (2012) - Everyone needs a break sometimes :0)

Hi all

I realise I have been very remiss not blogging for such a long time but it has been so hectic in my world that I've just not made time - please forgive me but everyone needs a break sometimes!
I've been busy with pre-Pesach preparation, pre-holiday-from-work work (!), Pesach itself and this weekend a really (unexpectedly) lovely family party - not for the first time I find myself truly grateful for the fact I have really lovely close family as well as extended family so that, as happened yesterday, when we get together to celebrate a Golden Wedding of my mum's first cousins, I find myself sitting on a table with third cousins I almost never see and we all get on, chat for England and really enjoy ourselves - very lucky :)

So back to the matter in hand - my ever-so-slowly moving weight loss project - and boy is it going slowly - 3lbs since Jan 3rd - very slowly :( but at least its going down :)

I've had enough stability and now I want to descend more rapidly - it's all in your hands Lisa (I hear you saying) and you are correct so today I have been to Waitrose & purchased all the things I'll need - as well as cereal, bread, fruit loaf & buns as requested by my family to satisfy the bread withdrawal suffered over Pesach and tomorrow (when I also go back to work) I will be back on the case.

The truth is I've not been concentrating on losing weight just not gaining and the two require different mentalities and my little brain cant cope with more than one mentality at a time!!

Also, Toby and I have decided to 'do' the Community Fun Run (he's running 10k & I'm walking/crawling 5k) so the more I lose in the next 34 days (eek!!) the less I'll have to haul around - we are grateful for all sponsorship and if you click this link all the info is there http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=Olins
Please don't feel obliged to sponsor us - I realise everyone has there own charities to support and limited funds :0)

So, tomorrow I start again in earnest so will keep you updated as I go.

Wish me luck
