    Hiya

    Just a quick post, late for work as usual - been reading 'single and in debt' from last night, that's my excuse!!!:rolleyes:

    Anyway, apart from being late again :o , don't feel too bad! Motivation is still there, I think, really must try to fit in some exercise today :eek:

    Catch up later

    Well done on yesterday - you nearly did it all. Woo hoo :T If it helps I didn't do any exercise yesterday either and won't be today as friend coming round for dinner, no doubt the wine will be flowing too so really bad ;)

    Good luck with your efforts today though :D xx

  • Hey,

    Don't be too hard on yourself, i'm much the same!

    Can I make a suggestion that you don't include the 'get to work early' aim as you've admitted you don't like early mornings so if one day you do manage to it's a bonus.....that way you are not putting too much pressure on yourself at one time. Just a thought ;)

    I need to take a leaf out of your book and start listing a daily thing, I just don't seem to find the time.
