Business as usual

After a long hiatus, I'm back at Weight Watchers.  I've had three good losses in a row (5.5lb in three weeks) and I'm feeling like I'm properly back in the saddle at last.  At the suggestion of the wise and lovely Gladys, I've decided to resurrect this blog - and have also repurposed my Twitter as a tool to help, since I wasn't using it for anything else.

A couple of things have changed since I was last "here".  I've had a problem with my back which has taken a very long time to settle down, and which has stopped me doing my usual gym classes, much to my continuing irritation.  I've never stopped cycling, but in the last few weeks I've been able to up the amount of it I've been doing and have been swimming as well - even adding that much activity has made a real difference and I'm feeling better for it.

The other thing that's changed is that, very sadly, we are now a 2 cat family instead of a 3 cat family.  Squeak, one of our two old ladies, had to be put to sleep a few weeks ago.  We were both devastated, but  had to remember that eventually old age catches up with us all.  She was 18 years old and had a very long and happy life with us.  Nobody can ask for more than that.

So - hopefully I shall manage to think of interesting and inspiring topics to write about and keep the blog going this time.  Watch this space. :)
