Good rugby match this afternoon - very enjoyable indeed.

Nice tea - repetition leftovers won again today and will win again tomorrow too to end the repetition game for this round. Meal planned to next Monday to work on using up what I have in - good food result for the week ahead not all the same all week, just a few days!

What else, have given the weight loss target some more thought today while out walking in the winter air. Hmmm, now I'm 1lb away from my target weight 2 I wondered whether to go a little lower. Funny how when I was younger I weighed less but was a size above where I am now. Now I wondered whether to go a bit lower, why not go for a round 2st loss and why not aim for that final half inch off the waist. And why not aim for this?

So I will aim for this between 3lb -5lb left from where I am now. Who knows if I'll get there but with sensible eating and exercise only I'll give it a go.

Way over kcal allowance for today but not fat allowance so you win some you lose some. Over tomorrow too and then back on track for rest of week.

Long day today travelling to uni and back and a later fiish than usual. Anyway at least it was a NSD with everything accounted for. Tomorrow will take a bit more to eat as felt quite hungry at times, or maybe it was just trying to stave off the snackbar temptation

Back to work Wed and will need to go shopping on Thurs to stock up on fruit as will have run out of a bit, or, maybe now I've written this down, eat up what I have in and go without an apple or 2 and have an extra banana instead to use these up. Yes will do that instead and then go shopping on Thursday to free up Fri for a run if its not too cold and freezing

Anyway NSD 4 today and I'm trying hard tomorrow to get another NSD in too

NSD 5/20 today and stuck rigidly to the budget for money all ready in the purse for train tickets and 2 cups of tea and did not cave in to the snack bar temptations.

NSD tomorrow and then another one either Thurs or Fri depending upon which day I do the short frugal shop this week.

5 NSD gained and 15 more to go - wish me luck, I'll need it!

NSD 6 today despite some serious temptation this afternoon. Good job I left my purse at home today on purpose - it worked!

Finally managed to get around to ringing V*rg*n and renegotiated the deal - higher BB speed, give up never watched TV and phone stays the same for £5 less per month. It's not the biggest saving in the world but a saving of £60 per year all the same and there's no point paying for something that I never use so at least now I'm paying for what I use.

Meal planned for rest of week. Weekend nice hearty meals and looking forward to these in this cold miserable weather.

Another £4 into the 100 day challenge pot which reaches its halfway point next week

not much to report this week apart from at long last I feel less tired after 2 weeks of early nights, a week off running with this freezing weather. Might go for a run on sunday as tomorrow is a busy day and I have a lovely smelling stew cooking in the oven now ready to have a lovely hearty tea to watch the rugby tomorrow evening

No weight loss this week - went over every day this week but STS which gives me some idea of how many kcals I can eat without gaining

Nice day with mum today who very kindly treated me to a new pair of shoe boots to go with all the skirts I have and can now fit into. To create more workwear from what I already own rather than what else I buy for new.

Did succumb to a new top in a rather nice shade of bright orange red to replace my well worn jumper that is being retired at the end of winter due the fade and the many patchings up its had already over the last 4yrs.

Well at last I feel less tired after my 2 weeks of early nights to recover after the hard work of the last month with studying. But will be off to bed soon for another early night as feel pretty tired again

Sunday study plan is to complete the first part of the assignment and have a look at some reading to do over the next week

Good day today. Caught up on cleaning, washing and ironing. Long walk this afternoon and a good hearty tea. Meal and exercise planned for the week ahead to get back on the diet, running and training plan.

Not much else going on and boring work week ahead as usual. Oh yes, did do the study as planned today leaving a little to try and fit in tomorrow.

I am going to attempt to do some cleaning this week and not leave it all to squeeze in at the weekend. Now that will take some doing but my plan is to do one room on 2 evenings this week to make a start then its much easier to catch up at the weekend without thinking I have to fit it all into 1 day as usual

Holiday paid for today so def going now and really looking forward to it.

Went for a run after work which went ok. Not too gtreat after a week and a half off. Was mega hungry rhough which isn't doing very well at keeping me on track today so have gone over yet again today. Nevermind tomorrow is another day. Its back to lots of fruit tomorrow and eat an earlier tea if thats possible and keep fingers crossed I can do it tomorrow!
