Publish and be dammed

I have just read an interesting article on how to publish your own e-book via Amazon.  I am hoping that the ease of this task will be the push I need.  I have always felt that there was a book within me - now I just need to decide on the theme - and then WRITE IT!!

Diet wise, things are going well - three weeks in and I have lost 12.5 pounds.  What is more interesting is that I have been faced with a number of temptations that, previously, would have scuppered me. Now I am passing with flying colours.  An example?  I drove over to Sheffield on Friday - a four hour round trip.  Rightly or wrongly I associate a long car journey with food - chocolate mainly.  So I purposely ignored the call of the shops and drove with just a small box of sugar free mints in the car - feeling very virtuous!

Slacking!

You can tell that I am back at work - I haven't posted for three weeks which is poor!

In terms of my 60 up challenges I have not got far - although I have tried to spend a lot less and have re-joined slimming world.  To achieve my 12 stone challenge will be a stretch - I will have to lose 50% of ,y weight.  However it is something that can be done - providing I keep to the rules of the diet!

I have also made a start on the patchwork quilt - well - one square at any rate.  The brand idea is to do a sampler quilt with a different pattern in each square.
