301k in debt and morbidly obese - things aren't great!
Comments

Done 5k on a Monday morning which is not something I've often been able to say. Now remember why I traditionally had today as a rest day - being Bin day in my area not only do I have to play dodgems with the wheelie bins that blow into my path, but whenever I set off a security light and frighten the foxes I get a nagging doubt that the residents will open their curtains and think that the black-clad figure trundling away was responsible for ripping open the binliners - and as regular readers know, I'm far from Old Style.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Not much to report - the last couple of nights I've managed to sleep for 10 hours which is totally unheard of for me - has meant the running hasn't happened but I'm OK with that - as long as I get out tomorrow. Weight down again a bit as well, and we're almost halfway through the month and haven't yet had to use the evil credit cards so I mustn't grumble.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Nice one on the sleeping. Maybe that means that you aren't as stressed?
And great new ref the no credit card spends that is ace too. I did wonder where you were yesterday. I usually look for your post just before I put the tea on.

Things have just hit the skids today - very bad news on the work front - it just might be that I've failed to dodge the bullet for once - and followed up tonight with some bad news on the family front - being a great believer in the fact that a problem shared is a problem compounded I shall be laying low a bit to concentrate all my efforts on damage limitation. I hope to keep up the running and the weight loss and the sensible spending and I hope to return in due course with happier news to report.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

On the other hand by not discussing the issues here, you may also miss out on someone having a solution, or option that would be a bit help.
Just sayin'
Either way I hope both but especially the family stuff has a positive outcome
