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

    Declaring another pound off - but that was before a roast dinner and a slice of the cake I made :p

    Good week coming up, 3 days at work, the 'not a date' ;) then a few days off!

    Loads to do today workwise and loads to do tonight homewise! Am really looking forward to a few days off, and am booking a week in Spain in September - went for a sunbed last night to get in the mood! :j

    Happy, positive head on at the moment - just 'ignoring' finances for the minute! :p Life is for living :D

    Have booked my hols :j Week in Spain, 22nd Sept - time to start thinking about some goddessing!

    Should be my 'not a date' tomorrow but it's gone a bit quiet and no arrangements made :( Couple of general texts last night though! Have painted my toenails and been on the sunbed just in case ;)

    Am off to a spa for the day on Thursday :D

    Hello lovely,

    Love the sound of holidays, spa days & new outfits.

    I'm reserving judgement on the non-date. Do hope it works out for you :) I will be cross with this mystery man if he lets you down & upsets you again.

    I am exactly the same with the 'been good, got results so now time for naughty things diet :wall:.

    I have managed to regain half of the half stone I lost, so consequently my jeans are too tight for me to wear without feeling very self conscious & I'll be panicking about having nothing to wear again when autumn appears.

    Time to break the cycle :mad:

    Determined not to be upset - not going down that road again :o

    Agree about breaking the cycle - 4 weeks to my hols and 8lbs to my (first) target to take me into the next stone - that's doable right??? :D

    Good girl re 'not date' & yes I'm sure that's doable -

    no more baking cakes though ;)

    Also the exercise really does keep everything moving - obviously :D

    We can do this !

    I am not on the 'not a date'! Believable (and checkable) excuse though - and a 'we'll do it another time' so am OK about it! Defo not a date though, just friends :p

    Treated myself to a magazine and a pizza :D

    Am off work now, and have my spa day tomorrow. Hopefully it will be the kickstart, along with my holiday, that I need to work on the 'new me' that was supposed to be the purpose of this diary!
