Surprise!

The 12 week challenge is over.
As a group we lost 41.1kgs
We exercised for 26,477 minutes
Moral is high
...and the scales read low!
This week it is back to normality
With just one last surprise
A bunch of flowers from the ladies in the hospital kitchen 
Thanking me for 12 weeks of fun
and getting to know them 
I didn't need flowers as thanks
I'm just chuffed to have people smile and wave as we pass in the corridor
People who's name I didn't know a few months ago
Breaking down some barriers
and seeing each other as people
not just a uniform
Thank you

  3. The rumour is that we will do a quick Oct/November blitz to get ready for squeezing into our Christmas party dresses.... Watch this space!

  5. I have to second what Anne said. I don't think I've ever "met" someone online that I'd like to have as a neighbor quite as much as you.

    Lovely, and congrats!

    In response to the above comments, I am privileged to say I do live near Gina and she is great to have as a friend - always has a laugh and always has a "glass half full" attitude and, as for the story telling, - she is certainly entertaining.
