    Lazy day on Tuesday - didn't make the gym and my eating was awful!

    Spends were £5 lunches and £2.40 Co-op, total of £7.40 so remaining for the month £74.87

    Loads to do today, so I need to get my motivated head on - determined to get to the gym tonight!

    Am having a generally bad week - eating badly, no exercise and spendy! Bought a top in Asda yesterday, only £5 but a total spend of £17.10 including my prescription. Then £3 for lunch today and £4.98 for stuff for dinner :o 2 days spends of £25.08! So remaining total is £49.79! Don't think I can last another 10 days - but glad I have kept the diary to see where I am going wrong

    Time to get back on track with everything ;)

    Have had all my statements in for the month so have done my updated total and I am under £20k :j:j

    Yesterday's spends were £2 for lunch, £5 for a wedding collection at work and £4 Co-op so a total of £11, leaving a remaining total of £38.79. Don't get paid until 28th so know I will need to break into 'other' funds but this month has certainly shown me where I go wrong (yes Souk - food spends are bad :o)

    Went to the gym after work yesterday and ate well too so hopefully am getting back on track - fingers crossed for weigh in tomorrow. Am thinking of trying a low carb type diet - my diet is really carb heavy, cereal for breakfast, jacket potato or sandwiches for lunch and lots of pasta based dinners so plenty of scope to cut back

    My skin is bad at the moment - have had to use steroid cream for my excema :( It's a 5 day course which I started on Thursday but am seeing improvement already. Once it's finished will give my skin, face and body, some TLC and try to find some budget for a few sunbed sessions as it does seem to help

    Nothing planned this weekend - I am tempted to go into town for a mooch around but am making myself not (feeling a bit spendy :o). Need to go to local town for food, stamps and a birthday card and need to do loads of housework and admin stuff so should really make myself do that :(
