Altered............Me?

Okay, you have probably been wondering why I haven't blogged much recently. You must have decided that either a/ my life has become even less interesting than usual, or b/ I have been off 'doing something'. Well, the answer is b/.

Since the sailing season has finished, it must be 'something' new? Yes, indeed. Something that prevents me frittering away my afternoons on the PC. Well, almost! I have joined a Slimming Club!

I enquired online, chose the one nearest to me (so that I could walk to it), and got an e:mail in reply saying 'Jenny looks forward to meeting you on Wednesday night'. Well, I could hardly refuse: I had visions of her appearing on my doorstep if I didn't turn up, cookery books under her arm, waving a pair of scales angrily!

So, I duly walked there (took nearly 5 minutes, it did), and after my initial shock at finding that 'Jenny' was, in fact 'Jim', and had a beard (Jenny has gone on Maternity Leave, but evidently Big Brother, the e:mail generator wasn't told), I found them quite friendly. Jim did offer me a bag of 'dust' when I arrived, but I politely declined. I think he was joking?

So, a good week, and some weight lost.Very pleased with myself so far. Phil is as usual very supportive, and has been despatched to Tesco to purchase something called Quark. Absolutely not the faintest idea what it is, what exactly you do with it, or indeed whereabouts in Tesco one might find it, but hey-ho, I guess we'll know soon enough!

I have no intention whatsoever of blogging any further on the subject of my weight loss: but if you should come across me, at any point in the near future, looking even 1/2oz lighter than last time you saw me, give me some kind word of encouragement?
