Footsteps!

all last week , this week & next week, Annie is at Footsteps. Footsteps is a Physiotherapy programme privately run, offering intense physiotherapy to children with disabilities, we have been coming here for 5 years (with a year off in 2008 when Annie had her heart surgery). It's an amazing facility & we are so privileged to have access to it, and to live so relatively close by (45 min drive).

it isn't free & costs quite a lot of money per year for Annie to take part, but we are so blessed with friends, family & a fantastic Church that have supported Annie in her quest to walk through various fundraising efforts. my friends Tim & Harvey rode to Rome- from London last year & raised over £3K!!!

part of my mission to lose weight is to raise money for Annie's physiotherapy, me & a few other parents are taking part in the Footsteps Slimathon, if you'd like to sponsor me, you can by clicking on my Justgiving page!

last week i lost 2 1/2 lb- i am 1/2 lb off losing a stone in total- but still a long way off my goal weight!

i managed to run 2 miles last weekend- constantly running! i started running at Easter & struggled to run more than a minute- now i have acheived my 20 min running goal, i need to increase my distance & time....who knows i may even sign up to run the London 10k for Footsteps next July.....

sorry for the silence!!!

oops- i seem to have forgotten about my blog- sooooowwwy (as RB would say in a ver insincere but so cute way!!)


this week i lost 5lb- brining me to a total of 11lb loss over all! chuffed to bits- i weighed in on thursday & i'm still on a high now! especially after having my ego polished so much last night,


 i went out for a friend's hen night & the dress code was little black dress- i have one little black dress, but its clingy so it's a magic pants must have dress!! i wore it for a concert last year & someone asummed i was pregnant!- i wasn't- rosie was 7 months old at the time & that one little comment from a stranger really really hurt :( it has really dented my confidence in wearing the dress, but last night i had so many amazing comments on how i look, i was sky high all night!!!!


so i spent the day sunbathing in a rugby field....Ok I was also watching JB play in his first tournament, Amersham & Chiltern were the only team to bring a C team along, and one of few that brought a B team along, thus meant that our little C team were playing A teams! They did so well, it was great experience & although they didn't win any of the games in their pool, they did manage to score a try in each game & 2 of their games went to full time ( in mini rugby, you stop the game when one team goes 6 up!)

JB got over the line, but unfortunately he had lost a tag ( he wasn't tagged, it fell off!) & he was in touch! But from the angle I watched it from, it was a try!!!!
