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 effortMortgage Balance = £0

Buck's Fizz only on Xmas day
Food and alcohol going ok, steps per day not so muchyesterday 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!

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 yearMortgage Jan 13 99260.00 87253 April 2017

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
