    Right went to gym.....and got told it was tomorrow. So did a mini 100 calorie work out and am going back tomorrow.

    So I am going to use this diary more (and read more of your guys again) to try and get me back on track more.

    By end of September I want to have:

    Paid off the last bit of my credit card so £357
    Lost 4lbs (at least)
    Got savings up to £1800.

    I am hoping that I might be able to slim down to a size 8 if I work really hard but a baggy 10 will do! My breasts wont let me be an 8 anyway unless its weird shop sizes!

    I haven't dared to even try on my skinny jeans the last few months, my boyfriend size 10 jeans are too tight I feel ill, I am defo more a 12 right now!

    If I was taller it might be ok but 5ft 1 and with it all sitting on my tummy its not a nice feeling!

    Hellloooo.

    Not much to report today but I am @ home doing nothing ill so thought I should do an update.

    No progress on the weight yet. :o. Went back to the gym last week and did my 1st personal training session but it was all measurements and me being told yes I am overweight but not dangerously. I could have told myself that!

    Been @ Simons from Thurs until today so eating not amazing but could have been worse.

    I had to call in sick to work today as had a bad stomach all night, had a roast dinner yesterday and think the chicken was a bit dodgy, not good as I don't get sick pay here and only halfway through my probation so didnt want to be ill until the end of it but I couldn't go into work and spend the day on the toilet! :( Monday sick days always look bad too. :(

    Hopefully be ok to go back tomorrow, eaten some cereal and a yoghurt just to see if I can keep it in. Have to be completely healthy for next 3 months now!

    This may have helped the weight loss a tiny bit though. :p

    On the money front am doing ok......might have to put Izzys jabs on my credit card but it should still all be cleared by October.

    Ahhhh lovely weekends :)

    Right good and bad news on the money front.

    10 days until payday, have £60 in bank so thats £6 a day until I get paid on 28th.

    Spent £30 today on some new Primarni Pyjamas and some diet foods.

    I have also put £123 on credit card this month but thats for a weekend break in Norfolk me and Simon are going on in a few weeks :)

    Which means that is now standing @ £486 but should still all be off by next month.

    Been busy @ work all week, I have managed to lose 2lb since Wednesday on weighing myself today and am back to 8st 13! :T

    Heighest weight had been 9st 4 which is less than my heighest ever but jean achingly tight still!

    6lb left to lose so far (maybe an extra couple just to be safe) and plenty of toning to do though but I am being very healthy and calorie counting everything!

    Going round friends tonight to watch tv and gossip, weight watchers tea first though.

    Payday time.....

    Got £1387 in my bank today. Only got one of my bonuses....next month I should be getting the other one from this month.

    Credit Card crept up to £520 again so I have just paid off £300....leaving me @ £220 now which is best its been all year I think! Can't clear it though cos of the bonus thing.

    Other bills this month.....

    Rent £220 (normally £200 but owed Dad £20)
    Sky £50 (which I pay for Dad to watch really as never here....)
    O2 £48
    Gym £32
    Cat Insurance £13 for both
    Charity £5
    Cineworld £13.50

    Other big outgoings this month are Izzy's jabs which are about £60, my haircut £70 (once every 2 mths my only pampering!) and I am supposed to be paying £100 for 4 more personal training sessions which part of me wants to do to help me get trimmer but I am not 100% sure I should give the gym an extra £100.......

    I have £100 to go into savings so I work out I have £12.50 budget per day which is plenty to keep me going I think.

    No news on driving lessons, can't seem to find the time to squeeze them in right now, think its going to have to wait until I am more settled again and not running from here to Simons all the time.

    If I didn't think it could affect my career in a few years I prob would just never drive though, not fun for me.. hopefully find a new instructor who will get me sorted one day....I used to like it....I think.:o

    Time for an update!

    I have been spending money like a trooper recently.

    Got a tad carried away buying clothes but I did bag up half my wardrobe to go to the charity shop a month or so ago (and its still all bagged up waiting to go!!).

    Just got back from a weekend away in Norfolk with Simon, not overly expensive as nothing to do but did have to pay for food and bits, about £90 spent in all.

    I have about £5 a day left to spend over 16 days until payday though it might be more if I dont do my personal training.......

    I was supposed to do it last Tuesday but cancelled as was feeling rough and then supposed to do it again today but cancelled and sort of panicing now like the driving instructor situation......do I spent the £100 and do 4 sessions or cancel it now as I am worried I might not be able to say no next time he asks as well.

    I hate letting people down when it comes to there business......

    I am a !!!!!!! idiot who needs to toughen up!

    Hey all,

    Nowt much to report money wise, 9 days until pay day and I will just about scrape through.

    I am not feeling great healthwise though.

    I think some of it is related to working longer hours but I am getting fed up of feeling unwell.

    This weekend has been horrid, I had my first ever proper migraine Saturday, which started just before Simon came to pick me up to stay at his with the kids.

    I went to bed at 9pm by this point in tears and hoped I would sleep it off but I had the night from hell and was sweating all night and not able to sleep and had to call my Dad first thing to come get me as Simon couldn't take me home with the kids there.

    As I sat up I then was sick, Simon had got me a bucket but not the best thing ever being sick in front of your boyfriend (though I know it could be worse!).

    So I came home, took one of my Dads migraine tablets and slept all yesterday, a very broken sleep. Got up to go to work today but got sent home straight away as I was still feeling dizzy and seeing black spots.

    Its all gone now but I have also had a stomach upset today too......:(

    My handbag is starting to look like a pharmacy with everything I am keeping in it as my cystitis plays up a lot too at the minute.

    Sorry if this is TMI but I am getting fed up of being ill and not being able to enjoy my spare time.

    I cant work out what brought on the migraine either apart from my personal training session on Friday night being too intense.
