Right then, who wants to help me give Cancer a smack in the mouth? I'll do the hard bit (the jogging and training, the staying away from Greggs, the smaller portion sizes, the alcohol abstinence, cause wine and training don't mix, apparently...) and you open your wallet :-)  Simples!

When Mammy passed away last March, I was smoking over 20 cigs a day and weighing in at over 19 stone.  On a personal level, I really don't want to be setting such a bad example to my children and I want to stave off the effects of bad lifestyle choices as long as I can so I decided to sort myself out!  In September, I quit the smoking and in Feburary I started the dieting!  So far, I've lost 3 stone of a 6 stone target that I set myself a year to reach, and now I feel it's time I did my bit to giving back to the community.

But to be honest, I just want to continue making my mammy proud
