Well it is week 13 and I have just had my 41st birthday. I have always thought that I would be a fit and healthy person when I turned 40.

That didn't happen, so I am making a promise to myself that I will be by the time I turn 45. I had a weigh in on my birthday this week and was happy to be able to say that I lost 1kg....which brings it to 6.1 kgs, a little less than I wanted, but it is going down, and is roughly 2kgs a month...so it's all good.

For my birthday, my darling daughter and my adoptive daughter took me out for tea....they had blind folded me and took me to one of the best restrants in town....it was so so nice, and we had a table on the beach, lots of stars out and the lights on the water was awsome. I am starting to notice that some of my clothes are getting loose and that they are fitting better.

Have you ever tryed to find a pair of bathers at the end of the summer season, yeah right...unless you pay out heaps you aren't going to get a pair....but I need some and I took a gamble on a pair that was 2 sizes smaller than the ones I had (that were falling apart) and OMG, they fitted....was such a boost to the ego..gotta love that aqua aerobics class.
