sallyx - well done on the walking. I used to walk to work (3 miles) on the days I didn't go to the gym. I now walk everyday and haven't caught a bus for 2 years. I just stick my ipod on and before I now it I'm there (a bit like a robot really!) I would walk home but always have a heavy bag of shopping after going out in my lunchbreak so OH picks me up on his way home from work. Like you I also run at night (on my treadmill). Found a brilliant running plan courtesy of a web link found on another thread and am following that 3 times a week and really enjoying it.

Well done to everyone who is losing weight. I have been trying this week to cut out the nibbling but unfortunately caved in yesterday and cut myself a piece of cheese when I was making OH's packing up! Apart from that I've been quite good.

Took DD swimming this afternoon. Going to close one of my savings accounts tomorrow and transfer the fund to the debt pot. Hoping that after a bit of juggling and negotiating I might be able to pay off another debt
