There's more to life than shoes - Shoe Gal's 2010 diary

Shoe_Gal

Quite a nice weekend, went to town this morning. Got a lovely white watch from Argos (free with my Nectar points) and the SJP NYC perfume (lovely and I had vouchers for it)

Bought some trousers too but they are too tight and a bag which I am taking back as it was an impulse

Watched the footie this afternoon - enough said!

Finances are a bit dodgy but if I am being honest I've really lost focus, have been treating myself far too much, not controlled my food spends or work lunches! Pay day on Wednesday so time for a new budget and a bit of planning methinks!

Have lost another pound this week (so have now lost what I put on on holiday) - just a slow and steady approach really. No particular diet, just trying to make good food choices. I really need to get into exercise though. Despite my good intentions I've done nothing since I got back from holiday

Hey sweetie,

I can echo everything you said above but aim to be back on track with a vengeance as of tomorrow

It's far too hot to exercise at the moment so I'm just trying to drink more water & I honestly cannot remember the last time I had chocolate :eek: but still havent lost a single pound

Hello lady, every time i log on there is another social invite waiting for me!!!! I can't afford to do everything!!! This month could be the end of me at this rate! Also lost phone and had a trip to hospital to add to the fun! (All fine). Take care and YES WE CAN do this!

What a manic week - sooooooooooo tired! Fab night with a friend last night (note to self - do not drink on a schoolnight )

Working tomorrow morning and then off out for lunch

Put 3lbs on :eek: Am eating loads to keep me going when I'm busy - and no time to exercise either

Hope everybody has a fab weekend

2 straightforward aims for 2010

1. get debt below £20k - currently £25,251.61
2. get weight below 10 stone - currently 12 stone 1 lbs

1. get debt below £20k - now £23.085.22
2. get weight below 10 stone - now 11 stone 8lbs

Mmmmmmmmmm..................... not really making the progress I had hoped for Although the debt is coming down progress has slowed down and I'm not sure I will make my sub £20k target (am about £500ish behind)

And not a pound a month is actually progress

Time to refocus, certainly on the weightloss. My social life has been good recently so I am not too worried about the debt as I am enjoying my life but I need to be careful not to let it actually start creeping up.

Good going Shoegal. Remember, any progress is progress. You're on here, you're dealing with it, and that's an achievement in itself, so a big pat on the back to you. Well done!

I am doing that Shoegal - enjoying my social life rather than worrying about the debt, its a bit of squeaky month already and we are only in day three!

Still the social life is a lot more fun!!!
