I joined Slimming World ~ online ~ at the end of January and to be perfectly frank, I was my usual half-hearted self in my attitude to the whole thing. So much so that the first week I only shed one pound and in the second week, I actually gained three pounds! Then, of course, [...]

Well, I could finally stand it no longer and took myself off to see my GP about my back and leg pains yesterday. He confirmed that it is indeed sciatica and has told me that as well as the ibuprofen which I am already taking, I can also take paracetamol ~ obviously, so long as I keep [...]

I’ve taken the plunge and got a Ticker to keep track of how I’m doing with losing my excess body fat. As you can see, I have decided to focus on small chunks, looking no further ahead than the loss of 10% of my weight. I have read that simply losing 10% excess weight/fat is very [...]

‘Tis a good job that my Beloved doesn’t visit my blog; he would take one look at the picture above and think that all his Christmasses and birthdays had come along at once
Anyway, I’ve been having a good think about “my style” and have come to yet more startling conclusions! Truth be told, [...]

On Thursday I went for my mammogram follow-up appointment (I have regular mammograms because of the history of breast cancer in my family). I am pleased to say that all was well.
However, my Consultant has told me that in view of my family history, I really must do all I can to minimise the chances [...]

And so we come to the next step along my new road ~ the physical aspect of myself. You all know by now that I am a BIG woman, a woman who has been on countless “slimming” diets over the years but has just got bigger and bigger! You will also be aware that I [...]

As you know, I have been pondering the fate of the Violet Cottage Ladies Club for some weeks now. Finally, I have reached my decision, which is to delete the Club page from this blog.
