Have done ok eating wise today, made porridge this morning with skimmed milk, had dried apricots for morning snack, lunch was a ham salad roll and a yoghurt and i have just had a satsuma, also done 30 mins on the wii fit:D.

Had to go to Tesco as i forgot to get sandwich bags and cleaning cloths last night so spent £1.41.

I have £50 in my account to last until monday when i get paid, i need to get petrol as i'm on red.

Hi Miemie, the diet looks to be going well! Keep on it, you'll get some rewards on the scales soon, which will boost your confidence and spur you on.
Are you drinking plenty of water? That really helps to get the weight shifting but it's easy to forget to drink it when it's cold

Also, don't give up on bingo. It's easy to get fed up with it, but it only takes one win... keep going you're doing great :T

Hi mac had a little hic cup with diet to day as we had cream cakes at work today and will power went, so far today i've eaten bowl of porridge made with skimmed milk, dried apricots, jkt potato and salad and a little bit of mature cheddar,cream cake and some grapes, not hungry this evening, feel like i'm geting a cold, nose is running and keep sneezing and just feel really heady, drinking lots of hot water and fruit tea, like you say when its cold don't want to drink cold water, went for a walk this afternoon and got soaked:rolleyes:,but it was still nice to get some fresh air especially as i had been in a hot stuffy class room all morning.

Scratchies this morning 10p & 10p, but won £5 on bingo:j, did anyone else have £10 bingo bonus this morning.

Have also spent £10 on petrol this morning.

Recieved payment for ebay item last night so posted that this morning.

:hello: Just popped by to say hi!!

Hope that your cold is getting better. Have read your diary think you sound a lovely mum.

Keep going and good luck dieting :T

miemie

Thanks chops for popping in and your kind words.

Feel like carp this morning all snotty and heady, i'm going to go to work as i'm only in this morning, 3/4 of that will be sat in assemble with kiddies, so will dose myself up and go.

will post more later, need to have a shower and get dressed.

miemie

well i'm back from work feeling a bit better

So far to day i have done scratchies 10pand 25p, i've pre bought bingo tickets for this afternoon and made £16 on ebay this morning :j.
Going to see the new Twilight film tonight, but going to the 9.30pm showing, so me and hubby will have tea before we go and i will take some snacks with me to nibble on so don't buy loads of overpriced stuff. Kiddies are stopping at Grandma's tonight so hoping to get lots of jobs done before i go out tonight.

Food wise i've been good so far today but i don't feel like eating with having this cold, had a yoghurt for breakie, satsuma for morning break and just had a salad sandwich. might make a chicken stir fry for tea, we were going to go out for tea before seeing film, but i don't know whether i will eat it so might end up being a waste of money, so better off making us something to eat before we go out.

miemie

:j just won £5 on bingo.

Hi hon :wave:

Hope you enjoy the film. One bit of advice tho, wrap up warm for the cinema! I went to see The Men Who Stare At Goats last week just as I was starting with a cold & I was freezing!

Well done on the bingo wins Miemie - Enjoy the film, everyone at work is obsessed with it! (Too scary for me though )
