Wow - its been a while

Well as the title says it been a while since I was last on here. What has happened since August 09. Well Hannah started school, she has settled in well and is making huge leaps in her learning. I love the fact that she can write her own name, knows lots of letters from the alphabet, numeracy skills etc. She was an angel in the christmas nativity. She has been planning her party since like October which makes me laugh. Pete got a job working for one of his old bosses. He has now qualified as an Emergency Transport Attendant which means he can work on the ambulances (not as a paramedic) so does shifts every so often when they come up. Joshua started at play school one afternoon a week and will soon go to two afternoons. I am still working at McDonalds but have moved to a store closer by which I enjoy. We moved church at the end of the year which has been hard leaving everything familiar behind. I still see friends from the old church so it hasn't been a major issue but its still sad, on the positive Pete & I are enjoying our new church and it seems to have brought a bit more fire to my faith. I have recently been thinking about joining the worship team which will be a big challenge as they are of a higher standard than I am used or feel qualified to play in. I probably wont be able to do anything until sometime in May. I had my metal plate removed from my wrist a couple of weeks ago which at the moment seems to have been an improvement. Well yesterday was my birthday, 33 years old. It was a much happier day than last year. I went to work doing shortened hours and then came home and made some pizzas and had friends round to share it with. Tonight I am going out with my sister to the community cinema to see the film Up, and then go out for a drink. Tomorrow we are going out for a carvery meal which I am looking forward to.
Last year in June I was very drepressed about my weight which seemed to be going only one way and that was up. I went to see a friend of mine and asked her to be my weight loss mentor. After going through a food diary and giving me some pointers on where I was going wrong, I lost 3lb in 2 days. I have continued to loss weight and gain fitness and over the past9 months have lost 31 1/2lb. I am only a few pounds away from having lost 20% of my body weight. I still have more weight to lose, but dont particluary have a goal in mind, although to get into the healthy weight BMI scale I need to get down to 9st 6lb as a minimum. Still have a way to go. I have entered the Race for Life 10k race at Cheltenham racecourse in July. I have discovered a joy of exercise which I didn't have before.
Life, at the moment, seems to be okay.
