That chutney making took 6hrs today - I am never making apple chutney again!
Finally got it to the point where it could be potted up but boy was it a long time. Anyway it made over 2 Litres and 1.5L is off to its new home soon.
As it took so long didn't make it out for a run so will be going tomorrow instead.
Cottage pie made 3 portions in one dish with another 2 lots in the freezer so thats 9 meals out of 400g lentils and 500g meat - not bad! Also used up the free turnips which made a lovely mash with creme fraiche, parsnip and horseradish. Nice to enjoy something out of vegetables I don't normally like very much.
Meal planned to Wed so far on the diet plan all within kcal allowance
Work lunches sorted for next week and ready to go

A NSD again today taking me to 11/18
Ran the last interval on the 6mile runs tonight and for the next 5 weeks I will be concentrating on improving my speed and strength on some shorter runs (go me eh!) and then back up to 60 min runs or 6 miles hopefully feeling stronger and fitter than I do now!

Well done on 4 NSDs in a row, but did you stick to the calories today. I have called off the merry band wagon completely. If I could just not eat so much I would have the body of a super model with the exercise and walking I doJust keep swimming!0

I have stuck to the calorie allowance today with no problems at all. It's getting pretty normal these days after trying this since May.
Just back from a run, 45mins tonight on the new running plan. Hard work keeping to the pace but its the first run on this and it should get better as time goes on.
Not a NSD today, had to fill up with liquid gold this morning and collected the dogs flea stuff from the vets too. Have collected some money for a car wash tomorrow so that should be a NSD toofinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Wasn't a NSD yesterday as I decided to go shopping as will be busy this weekend.
Today is car service day and dog final groom of the year before winter so an expensive day.
What else I will be zooming around today once I finish this cup of tea - also hoping to catch up on the housework, washing and ironing alongside lots of walking to collect the dog and car and different times today
Have stuck to the kcal allowance for most of the week which I'm pleased about and hoping for some more weight loss next week on weigh day. Might take some measurements later on as its a while since I did this and update my plan
Looking forward to enjoying the sun!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Well I have zoomed about with 3hrs walking to drop off Mr dog and collect him nice and neatly groomed. Also then a long walk to collect the car which passed its service ok.

Hi fedupandskint :wave:
I started following your diary earlier this week. What a busy time you seem to be having. I must say you seem to be doing very well and appear to be very organised.
You must be tired after all your walking today, especially in the heat.
Trying to read your signature but there are some abbreviations I haven't come across before.
I will continue to follow your diary and will add a note occasionally, due to work commitments and finding the time.
All the best!June 16 Mortgage Amount £82,896.15
