Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

I concur - apples and grapes are the worst I think! For some reason after eating grapes, my stomach just feels so empty and I get hunger cramps!

I have a new food obsession - Blackcurrant Jelly! 80 calories a pot so it's not so bad... Going to eventually move onto the sugarfee stuff. Fingers crossed I won't get the shakes!

I'm not hiding, I just don't have a lot of updates.

I have many days to go until payday.

I didn't do my Week One weigh-in as I ate like a piglet over the weekend

I have been up at 5.30am today and yesterday and as such feel like death, hence no perky updates.

Tomorrow. I promise :A

Although - we did both see a presence in this house for about a year or so after we moved in - & he looked mountain man type. But there was no malice in him, he just seemed to be curious. And yes, I am serious.....

Still wanna visit?

The Accursed Weightloss Website measures how well you're doing on 5 A Day as well, and on Saturday I was ASHAMED :rotfl::rotfl:

Unless I get a portion of fruit from the lime in my beer on Tuesday, that wasn't a good day either.

In better news, bought an awesome t-shirt today from Primark - £2.50

Is the Primark open in Edinburgh now then?

Not a clue I'm afraid. I was in Glasgow for work so nipped into the one on Argyle Street at lunchtime.

Not yet, it was supposed to be November 2009 but now seems to be more likely August 2010. Can't wait, no more travelling to the Weege, Dunfermline or Stirling to go to a Primark!! :T

Right, a quick update from myself as promised, then I'm going round to visit my friend, drink wine and play Mario on the Wii

Money

PAD = £64.65
Groceries = £112.17
Entertainment = £11.10

There are 8 days until payday, so I'm happy with this. I also have over £5 in my purse, so well done me :T

Weightloss attempt...

Last week I was 1169 calories under the target set for me and burned nearly 800 in exercise (Just walking, nothing more exciting yet)

This week so far I am 711 calories under target, but had one day where I was 400 over (Mainly beer :beer:) I hope to have lost weight when I check next week. I'm trying to be good but it's not easy. As I have no idea what kind of things I can eat as healthy snacks, I'm eating loads of fruit, and think that must be doing me some kind of good.

Other stuff

I bought two shirts and a t-shirt in Primark yesterday. They are a little snug at the moment, but are really nice for summer so I'm using them as my motivation I have been working loads - I have 27 hours of overtime coming this month and have done 1 hour more today (That goes to next months wages though) I'm working this Saturday and will also be doing at least one of the May Bank Holidays for double time goodness. This is making me quite a tired Fresian, but it will be worth it when I bust that debt :j

Must dash - the Wii calls!
