AAHHHHHH jumped on the wii fit last night i've put on 10lb since the beginning of september:eek:, i knew i had put on some weight but had'nt relised it was that much, really need to sort this out and loose it pronto.

No bingo win today and the same old on scratchies 10p and 25p. Ebay has a few bids so thats good and have found a couple more things to list that won't get done today though as i've too much on today.

Need to go check online banking and get ds up.

I've put on a similar amount since I did the marathon in april......I wasn't too bothered about it originally, but I am now starting to think it can't continue like this......

so I'm up for a bit of butt-kicking if you are.......I am aiming to get my trainers on and get round the block tonight - only about 20 mins or so, but that will be 20 mins more than I have done for a very long time!!

miemie

Yes Hypno i'm up for that, I will do 30 mins on the wii fit when i get in later.
Also gonna write down everything i eat and drink, as i'm sure hot choccies with cream and marshmallows don't help:o.

So far this morning i have had 3 cups of tea with skimmed milk and bowl museli with skimmed milk, gonna take an apple to work with me and resist yummy staff room biccies.

speaking of work better go.

One thing to bear in mind happiness is wanting what you have not having what yo want.

Could'nt agree more andrina and i am happy most of the time, i have a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful healthy children can't really ask for more.
well a 6 bedroom house, 10 million in the bank,cleaner and a different sports car for every day of the week would make my life slightly better:D.

Got home from work and postie had brought me 3 dishwasher tablets and a lovely £2 money off coupon, also dvd that i bought using nectar points has arrived so that MIL xmas pressie sorted.

To do list post ebay parcel
Finish ironing
Tidy and hoover DD & DS room
sweep and mop all down stairs.

Oh and i have just had a lovely bowl of hm veg soup . Also last night after seeing what a heifer i've turned into after being on the wii fit gave hubby the bags and bars of thorntons chocs to hubby and told him to take them to work with him, i kept the boxes of chocs out of the hamper cos they will do for little pressie for teachers or raffle prizes.

Parcel posted, ironing done and put away, dd room tidied and hoovered:D, ds room still looks like an explosion in a toy factory:eek:, sweep and mopped downstairs and hoovered stairs and landing.

Food - i have eaten 1 small dish of jelly was craving something sweet, 1 dry ryvita with large glass of water hoping it will swell and my tummy will think its full:rolleyes:.

Good morning, trying to get organised here, have made lunch boxes for today, washing machine is nicely whirling round and dishwasher is on.

20p and 10p on scratchies this morning, havn't been on bingo britain yet decided i will try later on, see if i stand more chance of winning:rolleyes:.

Really mad as i have an overdraught with my bank of £50, this is a just there in case i really need it, anyway i went £9 into it but did'nt relise until a couple of days later and transfered some money into it from my natwest account,anyway i've been charged £5 for using it:mad:, suppose it serves me right for taking my eye off the ball, but i think i will ring them up today and cancel the overdraught, i don't need it.

Hi Miemie
I found slimming world easy peasy and managed to loose 2 1/2 stone in 4 months, I didnt go to any classes though I found the group on Facebook and used alot of the recipies that are posted on there. I did originally buy 1 magazine and thought oh my how am I gonna eat all that food in a day but it got easier and it was well worth sticking it out.

Your really organised this morning, I got up late and have just taken the kids to school in my pyjamas haha ah well no one saw me I was in the car lol.

Im off to work later really CBA im soooo tired plus the weather is cold wet and windy it really is a day for staying in bed.

Just a thought but if you go overdrawn and not have an overdraft would it cost you more in charges? May be worth finding out then it will help you decide if you want to keep the overdraft or not.

miemie

Hi dreamy, think your right about the overdraught will keep it, but need to make sure i don't use it.

Just finished work have been good so far today eating wise, breakfast was an apple that i grabbed going out the door and i had a raw carrot at break time at work and have just had a big bowlfull of HM veg soup:D. Tea tonight is pork chops with sweet potato and parship mash and broccolli and cauliflower, when i grill the pork chops i usually finish then off with apple sauce and grated cheese on the top, but won't do that on mine.

Really need to go food shopping, think i'm gonna have to pick kids up from school then go, i just hate shopping with the kiddies though.

Have also played bingo and not won, given up there.

miemie

Back from shopping £65 spent:eek:, would have been more but i used a £12 off a £60 shop voucher that had been sent to me, also included 3 xmas presents, so could have been worse.

Ate a packet of snack a jacks on the way home from shopping as i was starving.

Right gonna go have tea and then must do 30mins on the wii.
