Weekly Weigh In at WW (Target 10st, 10lb) 24/01/11 -0.5lb new weight 11st, 2.5lb
Exercise: 4km emergency pre weigh in run!!!

Had to leave work early to collect poorly DD - who turned out to be okay - just very headachy, so took her for urgent eye test and all was well.

Weightwatchers, despite being horrifically bad, have managed to lose 0.5lb, which I can only put down to exercise as otherwise I've been so not good!

Again, I feel as if I haven't got proper control over money just yet this year, and I think my anxiety levels are rising around it as well. It just seems to be dripping through my fingers. I'm hugely worried about needing to get my car fixed as there is all sorts wrong with it!

Exercise: 4km run / zumba session

Well, been a bit more disciplined today both at work and play (at last!).

Seriously considering taking mother away for her 60th - wondering if it would be tight to ask her to go halvers (probably would be). She already lives overseas, so couldn't really afford to get her back to the UK and then off somewhere else though ... problems, problems!

Definitely lurgy-fied - I've just sneezed all over the computer. Bless me!

I've gone off the rails and need brought back into line!!!

I've missed about a week and a half. The problem is whenever I'm naughty (i.e. do something off list) I can't bear to confess all, so bury my head in the sands! Last year I was so good! How comes I'm so awful this year :(:(

HEEEEEELPPPPP!!!

Anyway - quick update of the daily list:

Day 38 (Year 2) - Monday 7th February 2011

Money Spent Today: nil
Crap Eaten Today: full bag of jelly beans
H/L Score: 7/10
Weekly Weigh In at WW (Target 10st, 10lb) 07/02/11 -1lb new weight 10st, 13.5lb
Exercise: none

Okay - so what has happened that was so horrific in the past week that I couldn't tell you about!

I applied for a new credit card - a 0% interest one as my car desperately needed fixed - and I had to get it done for work.

The car ended up costing £538 for all the repairs.

I balance transferred CC2 over, that was the big interest one.

However, I also booked a weekend away for my Mums 60th, and bought the DD's some new clothes as they haven't had any for ages and ages and they did need some. I just feel rubbish that they've not had anything nice to wear for so long.

Anyway - it's done now.

I did spend way too much out of the bank though, which means that this forthcoming weekend away expenses are also going to need to go on card!

I just feel as though I'm on a slippery slope and can't get off.

I so don't want to end up back at square 1!!!!
