I will be going out a lot :rotfl:. Actually, I will drink in the home but only when we have guests. Hmmmmmmm..... we have guests Thurs night and they are staying over............ Bucks Fizz for breakfast anyone
. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Buck's Fizz only on Xmas day

Food and alcohol going ok, steps per day not so much
yesterday only 5325 and I had a really busy day at work but am standing still working but my legs are not moving :rotfl: It's take no a lot of time to prep everything all the time, but the no alcohol until at goal weight is a massive incentive! MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
Not only that but DH is actually helping me. He wants his drinking buddy back!0

I'm getting to bed much earlier shs, less danger of crisps and wine

Kicking off the Cineworld savings monitoring this year tonight - I took ds2 after work to see "a monster calls" - I cried for a lot of it and then had to walk through a busy foyer with a puffy red face much to ds2's amusement. 7.5/10
My pass saving £9
Ds2 's meerkat free ticket £6.95
Runnng total £15.95
Dh went Sunday and saw 2x films so he has a £18 total so far.
Some good films out soon hopefully, it's ideal for when you are having a tight month, ive even downgraded from "fancy" Tesco cola cans in my handbag to taking a bobble bottle of tap water, we have no shame
Spending so far this year £41 ish (need to check Aldi receipt!)
Diet going well, eating lots but very healthy stuff only , no alcohol , hardly any coffee and lots of water. Will be cutting down food more next week.
Steps have been lower than expected and I don't check it much- this morning I did and realised that the time is wrong and it thinks it's reset time at 11am , so the figure has been low as it's been writing off half the day and I hadn't noticed, today I'm over target :T 8543 (well only just over really) still its a bit less worrying than I thought.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
I struggle to get my steps up. 5000 is about average for me. I've adjusted my target from 10000 to 7000 in a hope it's more achievable. No booze here either. In fact I can say I've not had a drink this year

Sounds like you're doing well.
I wish I could get into the routine of early to bed, early to rise. 2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000
