Laziness and lounging = eating rubbish :mad:
Evening all!
I'm SO annoyed with myself, I eat healthy all day, exercise etc and then tonight I have eaten a bowl of porridge and two (yes two!!) toasted cheese sandwiches :eek: I need to sort this, I know it's because OH is working late shift so not home til early hours but I need to be stronger.....wimp!
On the plus side, it's nice being able to read others diaries, lots of helpful tips :T0 -
I so know that feeling. The other day I was thinking how well I had done all day and then looked down and realised I was stuffing my face with crisps!

Golly, just catching up, your diary is growing very fast! Well done with your scratchcards, and good on you quitting while you were ahead!
Have a good weekend and enjoy your free takeaway (and I would say you wont have to declare that one since it's really a "gift"!).0 -

:rotfl:That's exactly what I do.......:mad: Silly thing is, I wasn't even hungry - I was just bored. Maybe I should just do a mammoth session of exercies dvds one after the other.....that would keep me busy :rotfl:0 -

Thanks Primula - I was feeling so bad about my pending take away but now you've approved it I feel much better :rotfl: It's true, I won't be paying for it...... a "gift"........I like that idea. I wonder how many other people I could persuade to buy me a "gift" this month:p0 -
Morning all,

Nothing exciting, life can be so boring sometimes

Morning Karen & all!
If I told you that not only did I do NO exercise yesterday but I also scoffed 2 packs of KFC chips, a tub of beans and two big bits of chicken, would that make you feel less bad? :rotfl:
I am hoping this weather keeps up so I can walk it all off over the weekend! Hope you have a lovely day and get a better nights sleep!
