Interlude II

Fear not, avid reader, the Reading List will be completed and posted this week. I'm just waiting for another couple of suggestions from a couple of people who are totally slack and apparently need more than a week to think of three books that they've enjoyed.

In the meantime, let's have a little Twelve Week Challenge update!!

Saturday saw the end of Week 4 - and the first Testing Day. I rocked up nice and early to avoid the queues, and was one of the first to enjoy being prodded, measured, weighed and poked. I have achieved the following results:

• 5 kg of weight loss
• 38.5 cms off various parts of my body

Pretty great, I think you'll agree. But I can't help thinking that this may spark some worry in the minds of some of my fans, namely, Mr Mary Mason (a pseudonym, yes).

So, I am informing you now that a total of 7cms has gone from my chest area. They have been reduced. Officially. I'm sorry for any sadness this may cause you.

And now, I begin my 5th week - back onto the carrot sticks, the protein shakes, and the endless trips to the gym.

Stay tuned for the finalised Reading List - entering your local cyber network this week.
