Phew!! busy P yeterday on that one!!! morning everyone how are we all?
I'm feeling all excited today for a whole number of reasons really. firstly my unemployment insurance cheque clears today which means i can finally manage to get my debt to below 19k!! !:j:j I cant remember the last time it was that low! woot woot! it should drop by an extra £315 today! oh my lord! yay! :T
And then later this afternoon i am meeting up with my lovely man for a cinema trip. we are going to watch a scarey film so plenty of chances to snuggle up!:D can't wait to see him i get really quite excited about it
and 3rdly i'm off to the gym again yay! i'm so enjoying being back exercising and even though i cant run i can do the gentle weights and that is exercise enough for me!!:D I had a bit of a shock yesterday though as i weighed myself on one of those stats machines. now i am officially 5'4.5 and weigh 10.1 :eek: i thought it was 9'8!!!!!! aaaargh!!!!:eek: so i have a stone and a half to loose to get to where i want to be. my BMI was coming out at 24 so i am one point away from being overweight!! :eek: :eek: one thing i dont understand though is that i am still in size 8-10 clothes on the bottom and 12 top which is completely normal for someone of my height so how on earth can i be deemed to be "overweight" I know i have quite a bit to loose and need to tone up but even so!!! so loads of motvation required there, healthy eating, no alcohol etc etc to get the weight back of again! i will be fit i will!!!

Mum has offered to take me on holiday too, she retired early last year and wants a week away without my dad so daughter is getting to go along gratis! :J woohoo!!! so bikini body is needed pronto!!! all adds extra motivation too, along with the fact that OH is a dinky little thing. 5'7 and weighs only a tiny touch (and i'm talking pounds here) more than i do!! :eek: :eek:
So, the isa shenanigans... I am sooo annoyed with the lady at barclays i'm not even sure i want her bluddy ISA anymore and if it wasnt the best rate of interest on the market i'd be voting with my feet right now! I went into the branch and waited, patiently, for half an hour, to see the lady and as i did started looking at their current accounts. Being a bit hacked off with halifax at the mo for charging me for boinging direct debits here and there i asked her about the basic barclays account.
Now, the purpose of my visit WAS to open the savings accounts, and i told her that from the start, but all i can think of is current accounts hold a higher rate of commission. she started off by credit checking me for the current account and when it was referred told me i then couldnt open the savings accounts and would have to go back in next week to do it!!! GRRRRRRRR:mad: she then said that if i was declined for the current account i wouldn't be eligible for the savings accounts even though she had previously told me that they werent subject to status!!!:mad:so basically i now have another foot print on my credit record needlessly and came out of there spitting feathers! Ah well, and relax...

So plan for today is to finish off the above jobs that i didnt get done. go to the gym, go see OH and generally have a lovely day. everything else can wait until tomorrow which is my final day off before back to work saturday.

I'm really chuffed that i've managed to pick up my first dog training client too, and it is a really nice easy case to solve such as attention seeking in the home and pulling on the lead, so it will boost my confidence before going on to more tricky cases. I'm doing it free of charge in order to get a good testimonial from her instead but should well pave the way to other things to!

Right, I'm off to the gym. catch you all later!!!

I'm still a stone heavier than you and I have been running bloomin miles every week!

pania

I know and i rest my case!!! you are my height and not overweight in the slightest!! no wonder so many young people have weight issues if they are told they are overweight when there is absolutely nothing wrong with them!!! grrrr. :mad:

scaredy_cat

don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat Pania, so you've probably just been building up and toning your muscles instead. BMI stats don't take this into account so forget them!!!

I think I am officially "obese" according to the charts.........
