    I'm in too!

    I had some risotto leftover from yesterday and am now going to put on The Wire that I got from Lovefilm.

    I got this months Glamour too - it has a free hair product (can choose from shampoo, conditioner or some kind of treatment thing).

    I got the conditioner as getting low on it!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Been having a little think while I was on the treadmill! I have decided that I need to stop focusing on my weight, expecting to be thin in a week :o and then going on a big binge :o:o

    So, new plan is:
    • 3 sensible meals a day
    • avoid snacking/extras
    • exercise 3 times a week
    • get enough sleep
    • make an effort to look groomed every day - not wait until I've lost weight
    • try to lose a 1lb per week - but at least never gain!
    As ever, I will keep updating :D

    That sounds like a plan, print out and stick it everywhere

    In your bedroom - to encourage sleep

    On your make up bag - to encourage pampering

    In the car - to encourage going the gym

    On the fridge - to encourage sensible eating

    On your purse - to encourage debt busting

    I now what you mean, my head is full of stuff as my house is topsy-turvey due to all the decorating, so all the mess stops me doing stuff and lack of will power. I really have to motivate myself to get things done, mainly due to the mess greets me as soon as I come through the front door each evening

    But I will get there and I love the fact that it is sunny today and getting lighter each night, darkness makes me want to hide under the blanket on the sofa

    Thanks Radish :A

    Completely agree about the darkness thing - as it is so bright and sunny here today it was actually easier to go to the gym. And now, on a weekday if I am organsied, I can leave work in daylight which again makes it easier to do stuff in the evening :D

    Gym and sunbed were good - and got some yellow stickered sushi for lunch which was lovely :j

    Done some washing this afternoon, should have done a few more jobs really :o Off to my Mum's for Sunday roast now (yum, yum :D) - will try to do some tidying up and stuff later!

    Hello,

    sounds like you've had a very positive day :). I agree with all that
    Radish says, particularly the bright sunny vs gloomy dark situation.

    Great plan & perfectly feasible too.

    Havent had sunday roast for ages :o
