ALI MORSE, 27, works for the Research Councils at Polaris House, North Star, Swindon. She is married to firefighter Lee. They are currently busy building an extension to their house in Haydon Wick

Health/fitness AIMS for 2008: To lose approx half a stone (I'm 5ft 3ins and weigh nine stone), and to get out lots on my brand new bike. I may do the Race For Life as it was good to aim for it last year and made me get out running. I would love to be able to afford a personal trainer for all this as I'm easily distracted!

What do you do to keep fit? I have a horse and two dogs, who keep me reasonably fit without trying. I also attend classes at the Oasis and jog (not very well).

Why do you do it? To fit into my skinny jeans!

What are your eating and drinking habits? I like healthy food best; I love anything veggie. Sometimes it is easier to go for the easy option though and fall back on pasta and garlic bread. I also like a nice glass of wine or two (or three...) Diet vices? At the moment, peanut butter Kit Kats and honey-barbecue kettle chips.

Do you take part in competitive sport? Not often. I prefer to take part for the fun of it but used to compete with my previous horse.

How do you relax? In my spare time I like nights in or out with friends, big walks with my dogs and planning my next big holiday.
