I weighed myself this morning.
11 stone 5 pounds!
2 pounds down, 26 to go.
I'll weigh myself again next wednesday morning and give you an update. At least it's going in the right direction.
Well done you !! Hope you're posting here before next Wednesday though! What are you/aren't you eating?

I am mostly eating what I want, when I want. Just less of it. With the exception of bread, I am avoiding it as much as poss, and eating wheat-free pasta.
I am often a grazer, eating all day, every day. I am trying to wait until I am hungry now.:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!

I'm just out of my interview for the internal vacancy.
I think it went quite well. I faultered a couple of times but on the whole I was chatty with lots of examples of how wonderful I am. Hee hee!
fingers crossed. It would be a nice change I think.

Well, busy weekend for me so no time for updates.
Money update first...
I am skint. But we already knew that. I appear to be spending again but I'm not really sure on what. might be time to re-instate the spending diary (scary thought) I have finally given in and cancelled the gym membership I sporadically use. I can still use it on a pay as you go basis though and if I find myself using it again I can always rejoin.
Job update
this is easy, no news yet.
Weight update
Pigged out over the weekend. Hoping to redeem myself before Wednesdays weigh in.
Everything else update...
Rubbish weekend. The nerves of the interview brought on my monthly visiting friend. grrrr! So I have been a grump since Saturday. I lost my phone on Friday morning. Somewhere between the front door of my flat and my car. I'm guessing as nobody has handed it in it is now someone's new toy...
That meant I had to get another phone. I started a new contract. The other phone was due for renewal in about 3 months so I am running both for the time being (hense finally cancelling the gym, I'll be no worse off and then in 3 months better off again.) I do love my new phone though! It is so shiney and pretty. It's not purple like my last one (My hair and my phone used to match. Hee hee!).
Things with OH are still a little in Limbo but improving all the time. He does still want to be with me but he's still not quite ready to say "Yes, I am ready to give you all you need in a relationship". It's difficult to explain but I do understand (I think). There has been nothing more mentioned about his potential moving in. Remember my accidental asking?! I'm glad cause I don't have time to clear out all my stuff and he'd have to do the same. I'm tempted to take a week off work to just clear out the flat and maybe attempt a little bit of decorating. It would be worth it just for the break. Work sucks just now. What do you guys think?
Anyway, I am going to get some dinner before heading off to my Sams shift. I hope you are all well.
