    More good news.

    Have lost 2lb this week, so I'm closer to my first target (lose a third of the weight I need to lose - a stone) Am well chuffed with myself and planning my exercise for next week.

    *tiptoes in, attempting not to knock down the piles of reading, books and bits of work due in*

    Sorry I've not been in for a while. Been busy with uni, reading and general kerfuffle.
    I've been keeping up with my walking - between 5-15KM a day :) and also been doing the fitness DVD's....I've graduated from Rosemary Conley and only being able to do the toning, to Jillan Micheals and the 30 day scary try-to-kill-you workout. I am enjoying it though, and Pint has been saying I am looking better. so YAY!

    *sigh* I've not been doing well.

    Having tummy troubles, so really need to get it sorted as it's now painful and horrible. May also take a look at one of the other gyms in town tomorrow and see if they do PAYG sessions, it may make it cheaper for me to use it on my days off and really get some work done on my problem areas.

    I know, I know, it costs money, but I really think I need to sort myself out now.

    *saunters in*

    Today I've been to the gym for an hour, done 15 mins at home (another 30-45 planned for later) and made a GF cake...it works better if you use half the eggs and a banana instead and made bread for Pint, if he eats it is a different matter.

    Food diary....must keep this up to date:
    Banana and apple for brekkie/snack
    Rice cakes and peanut butter for lunch
    Cake and tea for snack
    Sausages (GF) and veg for dinner.

    Also made a big thing of jelly with fruit if I get peckish....I had to taste my cake.

    Yay! Cappy 1 sent me a cheque today, so when that clears and my loan/grant goes in, 3 is getting paid off! I'm so happy, that'll be two debts down! Then that will go towards the lower of my c/c and a/c debt, then that'll get paid off.
