    Good day at work, some positive feedback from my new boss :) A week has made such a difference to my attitude to work, feeling really positive about it at the moment

    'The man' has mentioned going out on Sunday :D

    Monday again - so soon!

    Weekend was nice, lazy day on Saturday, took back more underwear that didn't fit (:mad:) and had my nails painted. Yesterday went out in the afternoon with 'the man' and his little girl, went for lunch and ice creams etc which was lovely. No idea where this is going but I am enjoying his company and am happy to go with that :)

    I have lost another pound, so 5lb of my 10lb target lost now. I am really pleased with this steady loss. I have 8 weeks until the wedding I am going to - I aim to lose the remaining 5lbs of my target but if I could lose 8lbs that would be even better :D. I know that I need some sort of exercise plan, I am doing nothing at the moment :o Am still pondering that one!

    Money is OK (ish) - I know I should be focusing on it more as the debt is not really reducing but my head is not in the right place at the moment :o

    Nothing much going on! Am much happier at work the last couple of weeks, and have an update with my new boss today so will see what that brings

    Am doing Ok foodwise, just sticking to 'mindful' eating. The girls in the office are starting a '8lbs in 8 weeks' diet which sits nicely alongside what I'm already doing so am hoping for a little extra motivation. They are talking about fruit and snack-a-jacks etc in the goodie tin instead of sweets and biscuits - every little helps!

    Still pondering the fact that I need to do some exercise but it's not really translating into actual action! :o

    Keep pondering til you find something you really want to do... then it'll be fun and you're more likely to stick with it too :)

    Glad your week's going good

    Just plodding through today, loads on at work, but eating has gone really haywire - am eating anything that isn't nailed down! :o

    *peeps round the door to wave & then scarpers in fear of becoming lunch :D*

    - pay back what you eat by exercise, even a half hour walk helps, just DO IT ;)

    Good weekend! Saw my neice in a production on Friday night and then went out for a posh afternoon tea yesterday with the family for Mother's Day :D And inbetween, bright scarlet nails on Saturday!

    Suffering for the over indulgence today though. I feel really bloated and sluggish, and didn't lose any weight last week as I really went off track :o The good thing is I feel so bleurgh today I am ready to focus this week, and start some sort of exercise

    Money is tight until payday so a quiet week planned although I am meeting a friend for drinks tomorrow

    Work is going well, and I am feeling really motivated in my new team.

    Today has dragged! :p Anyway. my friend has cancelled for tomorrow but another friend has invited me for a drink tonight! Sometimes it's nice to be single and be able to just do stuff when it comes along :)

    Have decided to have another go at running, I got through the 10k I did last year but never really trained for it. Have pronted off a 5k training plan, the nights are getting lighter and at least there is no financial commitment (have joined gyms far too many times :o)

    Nice night out last night, caught up with loads of gosssip - and not too spendy!

    Loads to do at work today, and need to go to the supermarket as I didn't go last night. Plan is to cook something healthy tonight and do the first day of my 5k training plan - feel free to nag me, I'll need it! :p

    Hump day! :D

    Didn't run last night, motivation is just not there. Am thinking of going to the gym tonight - see if I can motivate myself to do that (pay-as-you-go obviously!) Have been good food wise those so am back on track with 'mindful eating' - would be good to get a weightloss this week - fingers crossed ;)
