# 5: Join gym / health club

I have now joined Spa 6, our local luxury health club of choice… and totally loved sitting in the sauna for much of last week while the kids were at school! Decadent mummy.

I also had a gym induction and received the benefit of a personal trainer (which ticks off 10 and 80 from the original list), though admittedly I have yet to do more than look at my exercise programme, which is nicely written out on a piece of card. It is very impressive. If I ever actually do it I am assured it will help me to get ski-fit in a fortnight.

I must confess this weekend has not seen a startling flurry of achievements. However the ground work is laid for a multitude of challenges. Drastic haircut is booked. Bananaman outfit is ordered. Tai chi class booked. Shooting partner confirmed. Unicycle sourced. Sock knitting set purchased. So there has been some progress, though a fearsome distance remains to be travelled by May. Need to step it up this week!
