Week 5: 13 stone 8lb BMI 33.67 (-14.5lbs) **

This week I purchased a pair of Sketchers shape ups and to be honest I thought they would probably be a bit of a gimick but I have to confess I am seriously impressed with them. I walked 5 miles in them yesterday and it was like walking on air. No pains, no aches and best of all it felt like I could walk forever.

I have still not made it to Zumba but I have been on the xtrainer every day and feeling motivated. Food wise I have made wise choices and cooked from scratch every evening from the oriental book which is basically throw it all in a wok and bingo delicous tasty and filling foods. My treat for tonight is a small bottle of wine - I think I deserve it.
