I’ve had a totally chaotic month. First we had our ministry conference, for which we had visitors from Queensland for 10 days. Then the following weekend I had to go to a Community Newspapers Association of Victoria conference (I am on the management committee of our local community newspaper.) The day after I got back from that was my birthday.

I had a nasty dose of the “dreaded lurgy” for the week leading up to our conference. I thought I was almost over it, but it obviously got freshened up at the CNAV conference, because by the Tuesday I was sick as a dog (how sick do dogs get??), to the extent that I put myself to bed for a couple of days – something I never normally do. I’m only just getting on top of it now.

The result of all the above is that the last 4 weeks have involved a lot of non-diet eating, and little or no exercise. I would not have been at all surprised if, when I went to the doc this morning for my weigh-in, I had found that I had actually gained weight.

However, I was pleasantly surprized to find I had lost a kilo, and am now down to 111 kg. Whilst certainly not what I would have liked, it is at least better than going in the other direction.
