Oh I love a good Taking Stock post - it is great to catch up with all your news. I totally need those run tips, if I go any slower, I'll stop. I'm also trying to cut back on the sauce Monday to Friday - I had my first glass of red in a week and it was so appreciated. Can't wait to hear more about your trek - sounds amaze. If you have Netflix and you want to find out more about healthy eating, there is an outstanding documentary called "In Defence of Food." It's so sensible and well balanced - the best I have watched in a long time!

So far I've stuck to my goal for 3 weeks - no alcohol Monday to Thurs. Then only in moderation other nights. Seriously I was never more a two half glass anyways.

I am so excited about Outward Bound I leave Sunday and will stay overnight with another lady (from Dubbo) to join the rest Monday. I know a few ladies from Queensland and Sydney too.

I'll check that Netflix doco out too.
Mmmmm! Banana bread sounds good! So does your upcoming cruise!
