Appletree - that's wonderful news! So happy for you!

Ash - I tag-teamed a phsyio & osteo all of last year which seemed to work ok... buuuut I've never tried bowen therapy what a great suggestion thank you. I will definitely give it a go, i've got nothing to lose (well ok just a bit of money & time) but hey if it fixes it... i'd be thrilled.

Jayne - thanks re my LO... she's a chubber alright - 97th percentile!!! I wonder if that's my diet making all that high-cal EBM lol! I like your status by the way, it always gives me a giggle. I should update mine to "hello fitness, can we be friends again?".

Well I managed 2 walks today... and the second one I felt so good I went a bit longer - 23 mins instead of 15. And now my left achilles is really sore for pete's sake I'm not even going that far or doing that much! Ah well, up & at 'em, tomorrow is another day. Ate... okish considering I had my goodbye lunch from work. I picked a salad but it wasn't all that healthy (yummy tho!). Am still finding myself getting caught by those pesky old habits...
It's funny I reckon when you really start trying to lose weight, I always feel so excited about my newfound steely resolve... but then I look in the mirror and realise the weight hasn't actually gone yet! Lol it's like I think it'll happen overnight - so silly really. Still I haven't fallen off the wagon yet despite my work redundancy being confirmed and DH getting sicker again. And on the bright side, his back is improving and he might actually be able to lift somethign or do something/anything vaguely useful again - I live in hope!
