No weight loss this morning but although I am a little disappointed, it could have been worse and I could have gained! However, to make me feel better I've paid another £9 to the nationwide.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I think I have also lost 2lb but as my official weigh in day is Wednesday, I'll wait til then to post.

Exercise + swimming seems way forward, finding it easier to fit in with kids.
Added another swim to total. Will try for a walk today. Still can't face scales but def in better frame of mind, feel thinner at any rate. Hopefully more for savings/buildings pot at end of this month.

My goals are as follows:

• Lose 21lbs - not sure this is do-able but I'm going to try
• Get a regular income that is enough to live on
• Have summer feet!
• Make £10 a week minimum extra income from ebay, surveys etc

Get some good habits and routines in place, these being:

• Half an hour cleaning/tidying x2 daily
• 30 minutes admin daily
• No food leftovers, challenge to use up everything
• Two hours writing daily - blogs, book or coursework
• Three ten minute bursts of exercise, excluding riding

I haven't weighed myself yet, that's due Friday. I'll post the results however terrifying they may be!

Having problems with income - too long-winded to go into here, it's all on my diary, making me a bit tearful at the moment.

Summer feet are being exfoliated daily and lots of moisturizer is being used, just vaseline seems to be working nicely.

Housework and exercise are going well, although I am counting my working at the coffee shop as exercise, a lot of bending and stretching, seven hours walking as well!

Failing miserably on the writing! I must update my blog. I'm waiting for some copyright info for the paid writing job, then I must start. The book's on hold, I've got too much on my plate this week.

Well done everyone! Piquant, hope things are okay. I have been hit by some unexpected expenses for a bit which will put paid to saving anything for a while unfortunately.

The diet has gone a bit to pot this week but I am starting again from today! Still, I did go to the gym Sunday and do a walk.

Looks like being a glorious day today! If I didn't have to go to work I'd go for a long walk somewhere!

1. reduce weight, even slightly would be nice
2. Get all of the decorating done in the house.
3. try and complete all surveys
4. reduce debt and make additional payments no matter how little.

Ok so weight is not going well, think i need to start taking it more seriously now.

My kids bedroom is completely decorated now, next job will be my room as the ceiling needs to be painted and 2 walls need to be stripped and painted, going to leave this for a couple of weeks just until i start losing weight as this is my main target atm.

All surveys have been completed so far.

Made payments of £99 to the debt today, that includes some that i owe my mum aswell though.

Slow start but think i am getting there now
