Living my life in fabulous shoes!

Drinks after work last night but my eating was terrible and I am suffering for it this morning, feel really bloated!

Busy work day and quiet evening planned

We have had a charity clothes collection at work so I made a start on clearing out my wardrobe. I am ashamed to say several brand new items, still with tags, went into the bag!

Short text from 'the man' last night - who knows what's going on there!

It's Friday - this week has flown by :j Mostly just been busy with work stuff so not much else to report. My Freeview recorder arrived yesterday so I will attempt to set that up over the weekend I love free stuff! Nothing much planned over the weekend - payday not falling until Monday is a bit !

Had lunch with 'the man' yesterday Had a bit of a catch up, loads of stuff going on in his life so he's not ignoring me, just busy!

Wedding next weekend so need to sort a card out - redeemened some points for a gift voucher as a present so no spend there but I need to pay for the hotel, and drinks all day! And then I just need to not eat for a week so I can fit in my dress!

Quiet weekend as I've not felt too well Had my nails done and got a wedding card sorted. Set up my Freeview + box yesterday, which is fab, and did some baking

Two long phone calls over the weeeknd with 'the man' so that made me . Think the friendship is back on track now, he's away this week on buisness then a stag weekend so hopefully we'll get to go for drinks next week

Appraisal at work this morning, delayed from Friday, which seemed to go well so am pleased with that

Time for a end of first quarter audit!

• Good stuff - my work situation is better and I am much happier
• Social life is OK and I am enjoying having 'the man' in my life as a friend, as well as spending time with my other friends

• Not so good stuff - my weight/fitness/well being, I haven't made any progress in these areas
• Finances - I've let things slide and am not really making any progress towards clearing my debts as I am using my credit card every month from mid-month onwards

So, it's clear what I need to do!

Diet/fitness/wellbeing

I have a target to lose 10lbs by 6th May, of which I am back to a 2lb loss (have been up and down in the last week) so that's 8lbs to lose in 5 weeks - a sensible and achieveable target. The plan is sensible, mindful eating - no extra snacks, comfort foods etc. I will not become a diet bore, or attempt some complicated fad diet! I know what to do - I just need to stick to it! Exercise has to become a must do! 3 times a week - no more excuses! I don't want to spend any money/commit money to it so the plan is DVD's (which I already have) and starting the 5k running plan. To compliment this I will also do the wellbeing stuff - sunbeds, vitamins, looking after my skin and I also need to work a decent haircut into my budget as a reward at the end

Finances

I have let this slip just by not being careful. So it's back to basics here - cutting out the 'extra' spending - magazines, food treats etc. As ever though, I will still be 'having a life'

This is my post from 1st April - a month has gone by but not much progress has been made! :mad:

I think May's motto needs to be 'must try harder'

Hey There

Just catching up with the diaries, you have made great progress so far Well done on your weight loss too

Hey sweetie,

glad to see you're happier at work, that's a huge thing as you spend so much of your waking hours there.

Well done on paying off the Cap One & the Next card

No, the weight loss hasn't been great.

My weight loss has also stalled somewhat in the last few weeks, & that's in spite of doing at least 3 x 30 minute walks a week. Quite simply, I've been troughing too much 'treat' food.

Aiming for a 6lb steady loss this month & apart from the regular exercise I'm renouncing all cake, biccies, & sweets ... aaaaggggghhhh

Will you join me ?
