Neglected.

I have neglected my challenge, and this blog for a year. Our lives got "flip turned upside down" last August. We had to rely on the generosity of friends and relatives and sleep on floors for a month. Then we relocated to SW Wales. It's been the best thing that could have happened. Except that it happened the way it did. I don't want to go into more detail. It's on my main blog if you want to find it.

I need to get back into the swing of THIS challenge. I have my full target pledged by a friend who's wife has suffered in the past 18mos. Plus another £10-£15 from other people. This is still going to be a marathon, not a sprint. But a photo that my husband took has spurred me back into action. It will also make my dream easier to acheive.

Hopefully I'll be able to take my Canoe test next year. I can't imagine sitting in a canoe for 100 miles the size I am. I'm fatter than my mother now. The heaviest in the family. It's depressing. And the photos just show how bad I look. Not to mention that even the weight of my two girls in the front of the canoe can counter balance me.

September 1st (for convenience) I shall be logging my food/activities again via spark people. I  have no scales so I'll be going by dress size. Can I get from a 22/24 to a 14/16. I don't want to be a size 0. Just be able to wear clothes that don't look like a tent.
