yeah i knew it was anyway but just a real struggle some days as DH has struggled with my role and the importance of what im doing...

Hey all...

only me.....!

So not been paying as much attention to the money spending, Asda is such a serious downfall, im really hating it!!!
But its down to an organisational issue, just need to get more organised.

I managed to last through my week of hell of not eating any carbs, was painful,mostly just trying to work out what i could actually eat! but im glad carbs are back in my life now.

Managed to run yesterday for about half a mile, and then quick walked the remaining 1/2 mile.
Today ran continuously for a mile, and then did 3 minutes run with a minute walk for the remaining 3/4 mile. And managed the whole thing within 15 minutes, and then ran back to the practice which was about 1/2 mile. So all in all a good exercising day.

Lots of changes going on at work which i think may make things painful for a short time...... but im positive about the changes, they need to happen and all things happen for a reason....

well done on all that exercise... I have been struggling with asda too! Esp as I started a diet - and haven't found a cheap way to do the diet yet! I have done 2 miles today and yesterday tho - and yesterday I went swimming for possibly the first time this year!

Have fun at gym and hope you find a good driving instructor. Mine was really drippy and kept telling me I drove too fast - he'd be horrified by what I do now :rotfl:

Good luck finding a driving instructor (OH's brother is a driving instructor).

I remember having my driving lessons in 1994 the guy was in his late 50s a really lovely man he was but he drove a Nissan Micra, I said to my friend a day or two before my first lesson I hope he doesn't turn up in a horrible car and nearly died when I saw the Micra, I hated the shape of them (was in the days when it was not the done thing to own one) and was so embarrassed getting in to it.
