* Um, okay. I slipped in a midweek weigh in principally to see what damage had been done by a relatively poor diet week, some missed exercise and a cold. And I lost 2 pounds!

* Now I'm no scientist but I wonder if this is my previous good work bearing fruit (ooh, how healthy). It is almost as though my metabolism has been sped up, my body clock altered by healthier eating and exercise patterns, a body memory if you like. Who knows.

* I am now just 1 pound above my pre-Christmas target weight. I am tempted to alter my targets but I don't want to place undue pressure on myself. If it was summer, and I  knew that the weather would hold for sustained periods of exercise, I would be more aggressive with it but I want to build in a buffer zone. I hope to get down to 11 stone but will be satisfied with anything from 11st 3lbs downwards.

* I finished a new children's story this week, The Friendly Lion. First read with the girls seemed to be well received and I have had some lovely feedback from another parent. I will not be publishing it on the site as it will be exclusive to my next book but if anyone reading would like a copy, please contact me and I'll send it directly. I would love to hear feedback from parents.
