Introducing...Little Cat!






















So, this is my Little Cat!

I adopted her from Bath Cats and Dogs Home in August last year and she has very quickly become a major part of my life. I can't actually remember what life was like before her! She can be very naughty (scratching the sofa and bringing in small animals at random times of the day/night!) but she is also such a little cutie that I'm very rarely angry for long! As I write, she's curled up on my feet making little snoring sounds and occasionally chasing mice in her sleep! Love her!

In other news, I started my Half Marathon training this week. It confirmed what I already knew - I'm NOT a natural runner! I marked out a one mile route in my car and have then run/walked it every day. I'm now able to run most of it - well, more than I did on day one! I'm not sure how I'm going to fit it around work this week but I'll give it a go and see what happens!

I'm pretty sure that I'll need a knee support, it's been very achy this week. I have an old dance injury that makes it weaker than it should be so I'll be off to the sports shop at the weekend to find out how best to strap it up. I also got a swanky armband for my iPod so I can listen to some tunage as I suffer! So far I've found that Alexandra Burke's and Cheryl Cole's albums are best, they have a good steady beat to them!

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and introduce my Little Cat!

Stay happy,

Success!














































I got on the scales this morning and...I'M NOW NINE STONE! YESSSSSSSSSSS!

This means that after months of exercising and being careful with what I eat, I'm finally back to my pre-illness weight! Woop woop!

Of course, now I have to maintain that weight which could prove to be just as tough as losing it but I'm up for the challenge!

I'm going to continue this blog, even though I've hit my target, and use it to chart my next challenge - the Bath Half Marathon!

Right now though, I'm off to dig out all the clothes that haven't fitted in months and dance around in them...see ya!

P.S That isn't a picture of my feet, wish I had PJ's like that though!

*Cat of the Week - Mr Majestic*




















This week's moggie comes from North Wales and is desperate for a new home! (And I won't lie...I have to admit that I chose him for Cat of the Week mainly because of his awesome name!)

*Top Tip!*

























Did you know that 100g of jelly has just 10 calories in it?!

Plus, if you add a little fruit to it then it counts as one of your five a day!

So, for a little treat that's low on calories but high in the mmmmmm factor, get wobbling!
