    Bit late weighing in, STS this week please! Hard to get back into a routine at the mo, friends staying, on leave and days out etc. New term vibes from September, so I'll be back to regular exercise and better eating!

    yet another cold… on the plus side it means I've lost some weight (how?? is coughing the latest secret weight loss exercise?)

    Anyhoo - I'm down 4 pounds so only 2 to go for my goal and a month to achieve it. Granted I'll be comfort eating in Brussels this week so likely to have more work to do.
