OK, I have been so hopeless this last few weeks, and this week coming is ot going to improve... I haven't been to the gym since the last session (way up ^^^ there somewhere!), and my diet has been haywire - last weekend was a drink and eat fest: so much champers, two lots of hogroast and chips on Sat at the wedding, then Sunday I had a croissant and a bowl of soup all day as I was so hungover.

This week, lunches have consisted of Boots sandwiches and then a couple of nights I had chicken with pasta and a tomato sauce, one (lush) meal out with pudding and two mornings at Pret with coffee and croissant :-O

I did find the gym last night (after much getting lost as I thought I knew where I was going, but obviously didn't!!), and it is a bit skanky compared to the one in Lancaster, but there seems to be a decent amount of kit. So will get back to it, in the next couple of weeks. I was too knacked to do a workout yst, so purely went for R&R in the sauna and pool areas.

On a more positive side, I went to one of the rowing clubs in Chester on Wed night, as they are running a nowt to novice course for 8 weeks: now, obviously, I am not that raw, as I did row at school, but I intend to go along to the sessions for two reasons: one, it will give some focus to some form of fitness (they do on the river training, and then run circuits in the boathouse a couple of evenings a week, int he winter) and it seems to have quite a lively social scene too (which will be good for getting to know some more people in my new location)
