    Just painted my toenails and put some cuticle oil on - am determined to be a goddess :D

    Off to get some beauty sleep now :)

    Wish I could get some of your goddessness Shoe Gal! Had a nice bath tonight and planned on doing tootsies but as usual couldn't be bothered. Must do better!

    Cuticle oil????? I didn't know such a thing existed. Nor that people actually did things with their cuticles other than watch them march slowly up their fingernails only to be ripped off by some random passing object. I am in awe of your girlyness, DD1 thinks you are uber cool and need to give me lessons.

    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

    Hey SG,

    Hope you are well and start your week off positively today. Been lurking lots and keeping up to date.....again don't be too hard on yourself, you are wonderful :A

    Think the plan is fab, very simple and achievable. Go for it, just think of the bigger, long term pic with the weighloss....1lb per week is a considerable amount of weight loss by say Xmas time. Good luck xxx

    Hey Shoegal,

    Hope you had a good Monday. Love the diet plan-I fear mine is going to be somewhat hampered with free choccy vouchers and the like.

    Monday is over :j All set to watch The Good Wife (my current fave programme)

    Work was very dull today - compensated with food :o

    Off out for Italian with 'the girls' tomorrow (can see this not being a good dieting week :eek: but still hope to achieve my 1lb target loss)

    Morning!

    I'm very good thanks! Don't worry about the bad food day - I get them all the time when i'm bored....just over compensate with lots of water and perhaps a 15min session of exercise, be it a walk or star jumps on the spot and a few squats...always works for me!!

    Enjoy your Italian with the girls, the girls and I went for one last Friday....yum yum :D

    Hope today isn't as boring for you xx
