Loose Change Pays My Debt version 2

lesleyvhalifax

My mum told me a shocking story last week. Her friend told her of a mutual acquaintance who had lots of loose change saved up but got fed up with it cluttering up her house and threw it all away in the bin! Can you believe it! She is obviously well off and didn't care. There were pounds and pounds worth! My mum, her friend and me were all fuming. What a waste. Mum's friend said why didn't you give it to charity if you didn't want it and the woman said oh I couldn't be bothered, I just wanted to get rid of it!



OMG


IS SHE MAD

I think she must be. Who in their right mind would throw money away?

My new scales and pedometer have arrived. My new healthy lifestyle starts here! Only 11 stone to lose. Gulp (or rather no gulps if chocolate was in my mouth at the time)

No, 11 stones! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I can't imagine what I will look like when I lose all that weight. Perhaps we can inspire each other! And you Lesley, you're not getting out of it even if you only have 8 stone to lose.

I'm going to aim for a certain amount of steps per day, hence the pedometer, as I hope that being more active will help me to lose the weight. I've joined in a challenge on the flylady thread to lose a stone by the 11th of July, so I guess I'd better start walking! I did two burst of walking on the spot for two minutes and did 300 steps in each - it's going to take me ages to get 10, 000 steps a day at that rate! I will have to do some proper walking!

rosepink i keep saying im going to get one of those pedometers but i really dont think i walk anywhere near the recommended 10,000 steps a day dont really do any exercise at all right now its so bad. eating healthy isnt cheap either.
