    Thanks Macgirl.

    I just sneakily popping in whilst at work. (tut tut!). I weighed myself yesterday and had rather a large shock. Last year I lost 3 stone and I have put 2 stone back on. So now I need to loose a total of 4 stones! I cannot fit in hardly any clothes and can certainly not afford to go an buy any. Anyway I have decided to concentrate on the first two stone to get me back to where I was this time last year! So I will amend my signature to read total weight loss of 24 1bs in the first instance. I will weigh in every Tuesday morning before I come to work.

    I have been looking at flylady and like what I see. So I have done the first two baby steps and have also "swished" my bathroom this morning and polished my sink!!:p

    Overall debt needs to be looked at but I will leave this until the new year. If DH doesn't come back then I need to get a rebate from my council tax. We have one joint account so that will also need to be sorted... but little steps!

    DD's have got lots going on in the next two weeks which cost aswell.

    I am going to try and fit in 10 mins of excercise tonight aswell. (little steps).

    Have a good day everyone and stay warm brrrrrrrrrrr xx

    I also would like to do a couple of challenges. Where do you find them?

    Sorry hon not sure..am sure someone posting will know though..

    Have been thinking about this and think I will do my targets in terms of reps or minutes if exercise..dancing madly to two tone sounds good btw..;)

    I will go on the wii fit ( after tidying the front room grrrrr) this evening for 30 minutes. And stomach crunches..2 types for a gentle 30 times:rotfl:

    Also no alcohol for me for this eve..what is worrying is that I feel the need to make a note of it!

    good luck with your targets YM

    Xx

    Way to go Brizzle, at least you've got a plan. How much do you want to loose? I will work my exercise plan out tonight and let you know so you can ensure that I stick to it:rotfl::rotfl:

    Busy night yesterday..... I have gone flylady mad! I have nearly completed my control journal and have done a few baby steps for the start. I have to say the zone cleaning system looks a little bit scary :eek: But at the moment i need some control in my life.

    Eating yesterday was dreadful but once I sort my exercise plan out tonight that should help. I know for a fact that I won't work hard exercising to then stuff my face with chocolate iyswim !

    Have done clicks today, have a shiny sink and "swished" the bathroom. DD's safely deposited at school and I have a manic day at work to look forward to!

    I have now finished and posted my Christmas cards and am half way through my wrapping.

    It's started to snow here again... nooooooooooooo!!

    Have a good day everyone xxx

    You made me giggle...snow getting beyond a joke hey?! Sorry here in the deepest south west we have nothing except a sharp frost. very very weird compared to Central Scotland for example! And you're being very organised with the cleaning.. guess about 7 lbs for starters but for me its the toned thing...just simply feeling far too flabby and unfit.

    Got off bus to work a stop early too.. Every little helps I guess

    Hiyah Brizzle. I'm impressed with getting off the bus earlier! I drive to work after dropping DD's at school. I am in the West Midlands. On the whole I guess we haven't had it too bad. I love it when I'm not at work and can build snowmen with DD's but then tire of it quickly when I have to get to work! Very fickle!

    Well I am feeling absolutely exhausted today. Very little sleep. However still shined my sink and swished my bathroom this morning. :A I'm turning into a right little flybaby at the mo. I am loving the flylady site. It is giving me some kind of control in at least one area of my life.

    I've done clicks and about 10 competitions. Banking also done.

    DD 2 Nativity tonight.

    Take care xx

    Hope you get to start sleeping better soon.. Not sleeping is just the worst in my book.

    Hello YM...ow bist as we sometimes say in these parts..

    Hope you're Ok and looking forward to a break at Christmas..

    I am just about cutting down the alcohol but hopeless, shocking in fact on exercise..too knackered to anything when I get home. Still working now this eve and up since 5am..not asking for violins but you need a basic level of energy to even start to exercise..and I don't have it! Maybe I should try a sitting down sport:rotfl:

    Take care
