Following advice from all those in the know...

I've started a food diary... to try and take an active interest in what I eat... and perhaps convince myself to care. My Personal Trainer that I've been seeing for the last month has told me that I'll not make any more progress if I don't stop having a cheese salad and a bag of crisps every day for lunch... I'm playing ball but I think the food diary Sally sent me doesn't have enough room to not what I consume in a day! It is pocket sized! Perhaps it's a good thing... that way I can't eat so much!

Interestingly I got a % of body fat test done on Tuesday (by the trainer) and I'm 26% fat! I found it highly amusing as it's the maximum that I should be for my range... of course my goal is to trim that down a bit but I don't quite understand why my trainer didn't see the humor in me rejoicing that "I'm the maximum of fat that I'm allowed by law" some people!

The possibility of me attending Noeleen's wedding in a few weeks dwindled down to (not possible) this week when after haggling with the airline for ages... I looked at my paper ticket and saw in black and white (NON EXCHANGEABLE NON REFUNDABLE) damn it! I feel terrible about not making the wedding but really... it was due to circumstances beyond our control so not much can be done... unless of course I win the lotto!

KJ is due in London again next weekend... this time for a good long while (compared to her last 6h visit) I believe the plan is for me to go down to Crawley where the crew are staying and meet up with her... The week after I will finally be able to get back to bcn for a visit with fredu!!!!

Tomorrow is Canada day and in an attempt to be true to our land of birth... my Canadian colleague and I are going to partake in the Canada day street party in Covent Garden... should be funny... Don't know how long we'll last but hey, we're trying!
