  • Hello everyone,

    Might be wrong, and don't want to jump the gun, but I think I might just be feeling a tiny bit better :j. Still far from normal, and just as well that it is half term this week, as I think it could be a week or more before I have really recovered, but it's a start. I just wish I could eat- I can't find anything that doesn't taste absolutely foul!! The good side of that of course is that I have lost half a stone or so already, and since I could do with losing a couple of stone at least, I'm going to try hard not to put it back on. I know losing it quickly doesn't usually keep it off, but I'll have a go!
    Anyway, today will be NSD#12- meaning I have reached my target:D
    I also haven't spent anything for the last 6 days, which I cannot imagine I have ever managed before, and probably never will again!

    Could I please increase my target to 15?

    Declaring today a NSD as not going anywhere apart from walking the dog later on. Have been for a long run this morning which went well and saw lots of other runners out there for a change. Stil waiting to here if I have a place in my first 10k race. Ran 10k on 4x 14 min intervals with 1 min recovery and next week will be aiming to increase the interval times. Still plenty of time to get to running it in one go. Anyway what I'm waffling on about is how much I enjoy running when its for free and in the fresh air - now thats good!

    Have meal planned for next week still concentrating on using up what's in stock and cupboards. Should make it the end of the week meaning I'm trying to get some more NSDs for next week to hit my target and maybe even get more in

    And up to #11 today :D

    By the time I got round to ironing my uniforms, having my umpteenth brew, grabbing something to eat and then getting dressed it was already approaching 1:30pm :o Followed that up (after a phone call from 'him' ;)) with walking the dog for 45 mins, so had no chance at all of getting to the large Mr T today......

    Lid! have some sports socks in their offers tomorrow, so I'm planning (dependant on weather) to wander over there after work and see if there are any left. If I manage to get some, then (again dependant on weather, as we're forecast sleet/snow from mid-afternoon) I may make an attempt to do my Mr T shop in the later evening.

    But it's only one offer I'll miss out on if I don't get there tomorrow or Tuesday, so not really bothered if I don't make it - it's not the biggest of savings, and I actually have to buy quite a large quantity to get the saving (given I only cater for me). But I still have just under £31 of goods in my on-line 'cart' (the way I compile my shopping list), and I need to get to £40 to use my £6 off voucher !!!
