I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget

Couldn't resist another Carrie quote as my title 
Thought I'd start a new diary for a new plan, with the theme of 'me, just better'
The plan is all about getting glam and getting gorgeous!
A bit about me and my life as it stands. My finances are doing Ok, I just need to keep an eye on 'unplanned' spending
I won't be debt free any time soon but my debts are under control and gradually decreasing, and I'm OK with that. I like my apartment, I just need to get better at keeping on top of day-to-day chores - and have a bit of a declutter! I enjoy my job but am open to any opporttunity that might occur 
So the main foucus is me! :j I need to lose weight, about 2 stone in total, but am breaking that down into 7lb mini goals. The plan is sensible, healthy eating and dusting off my gym membership, aiming for 3 sessions a week. I want to look glam and groomed too! This means skincare (I have eczema) and general maintenance and dressing well everyday - fake it until you make it
Summer is my favourite season, and I tend to feel better in the Summer months so I think this is a good time to start this plan. Feel free to nag/encourage me

Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

Happy New Diary
You are fab

Agreed - no better time to start it than now. And while you are looking all tanned and gorgeous you have the incentive to keep the maintenance up! (It's easy to moisturise every day when you have lovely tanned skin!)

I really do need to reduce my mindless TV/internet time - that's how I get nothing done
Anyway, I have managed to put my second load of washing in and tidy up a bit. Have been to the supermarket, got my prescription for my eczema and had some prints done off my camera from hols to give to my Mum
I need to make a proper plan as to what 'healthy' eating is - I want to start taking lunch into work, cheaper and healthier, and have some sort of plan for what I am going to eat in the evenings. I'm sure my daily supermarket habit leads to loads of extra spending!Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -
