Long time no blog

Well, what a long time to be AWOL from the blogosphere! I know everyone says it but I have been very busy. Work is manic, Weight Watchers is in full swing (still battling and am at a plateau at the mo) , Ruby has 4x walks a day, I am still battling to finish my HND, plus I am sort of in the process of planning a novel (ooohhh), I think it will be a while in the pipeline. I am also continuing my craft with card making and my newly found hobby; crochet!

So are you all enjoying the summer? I would love to hear what you have all been up to, I really need to catch up with everyone again. I am enjoying the nice weather, but it is not so fun when you are working in a non-air conditioned office with no proper windows which don't open and look out on to a brick wall!

My only regret this summer is that I am not a little nearer my weight loss journey. I have now lost a stone really properly since January when we were finally in our own place and all of the Christmas indulgence was out of the way. So not so bad. At the moment I am a little stuck, and am trying my hardest this week to stay on track as I only have 7 1/2 weeks until my friends wedding who I am a bridesmaid for. I am aiming to lose at least another 1/2 a stone, although I would be over the moon with more. I will really regret it if the wedding day arrives and I am still just a big as ever. I want to feel great and not feel embarrassed to be in her photo's. I am definitely a lot more confident now after my stone loss, so a little more will make me feel even better.

I also have a confession to make, I am a secret Australia/ America's Biggest Loser fan! I have series linked them on Sky and watch them in the evenings when Phil isn't around. It really motivates me though and makes me try even harder when I see their great results, so not such a bad vice to have! I really hope the hard work pays off this week.

Happy Summer!
