February wasn’t that great a month overall. So will need to put more effort in during March!
- I put back on some weight, so I’ve now only lost 1/3 a stone overall, so still a way to go to my weight loss target!
- My professions case is still in progress, not much progress really this month
- Exercise was really good though, managing on average 4 sessions per week!
- Still no progress on the BCS target
Specific targets for March are to get back to at least 1/2 a stone in weight loss and maintain the exercise levels.

January was a fairly good month overall.
- I lost 1/2 a stone, so that’s half way to my weight loss target!
- I have my professions case in progress, with a mentor helping my complete it, so that’s a way towards my IBM target.
- I only managed to exercise on average 1 time per week, so that wasn’t so great – but I was rather hampered by the snow over half of the month.
- No progress yet on the BCS target, but it is only month 1
Specific targets for February are to maintain the weight loss and increase the exercise levels.

It’s a New Year again already, and there are a few things I want to achieve in 2010.
In general I want to get fitter, healthier and have fun. I’d also like some success at work.
Specifically my goals are:
- Lose 1 stone in weight and keep it off all year
- Exercise on average 3 times per week regularly
- Achieve Chartered Status with the BCS – CITP
- Gain Accredited PM Status at IBM
I’m looking forward to another year with Dan, and enjoying our life together with our cats Tinker & Leia. While money is going to be tight, I still intend to see my friends as often as possible and make the most of low cost opportunities for new experiences.

I do like to keep busy, and my latest venture is to get involved with a new charity being set up. Inspired Living is intending to raise money for cancer research, produce medical research and run a big cycling project in 2010. It should certainly keep me busy over the next year or so!

Dan & I decided to take a cheaper holiday this year, so headed off to Somerset for a long weekend camping. We found an adult’s only campsite, Doolittles, in North Curry, a tiny village near Taunton. After a few hassles finding the campsite we got our tent set up before it got dark, and without it raining. We visited Weston-Super-Mare, where we saw the sand sculptures and played in the arcades. We only had 1 day of rain and managed to find the local bowling alley and cinema to wait it out. We also visited Cheddar, exploring the caves and seeing cheese and sweets made in the traditional way.

Dan & I headed into Winchester for one of Julian Clary’s preview shows. I wasn’t that sure of the evening, but Dan loved it, and he’s the comedy fan. I ended up being included for a trial of a mind reading, thanks to Dan setting it up at the beginning. However it didn’t quite work out right, but hopefully it’ll work out once he starts the main shows.

Gilli & Mat got married in Kew Gardens, and it was a lovely day in the end, with the sun coming out in time for the photos. I really enjoyed the day, which included a bus tour of the gardens, a fabulous meal and then an evening of dancing with cheese & wine. Along with catching up with friends I hadn’t seen for ages it really was a fantastic celebration and I’m sure Gilli & Mat will love their honeymoon and be very happy together.

Dan is finally going to follow his dream and work for himself. He’s taking a year off from IBM to concentrate on his own business and pursue a portfolio career, combining website design with mentoring small businesses and clubs and even doing the odd professional pyrotechnic display. It means I’ll be the main wage earner for the year, though I’m sure it won’t take long for Dan’s efforts to pay off.

I headed into London for the day for W-Tech 2009. This was an afternoon of workshops and talks followed by an evening panel discussion and networking aimed at women in technology. I had a great day, representing BCSWomen on the BCS stand and also chairing a couple of sessions. The networking was also great, and I got to meet some fascinating people.

Dan & I have decided to adopt Tinker & Leia. They’re now getting on well together and Dan in particular couldn’t bear to give them up. Leia is a little charmer, which is lucky as she’s also into everything and Tinker has settled in lovely with no signs of aggression at all, although he does love to play.
It does mean I’ll be giving up fostering for the Cat Protection, but I’ll continue with managing their website and go along to events when I can.
