Thanks Tilly and Alchemilla. 1lb off 3stone!!! Think my money saving thread this year is more about losing lbs then saving them!
Been and bought pizza etc for dd3 sleepover tonight. So will have house full of girls later. Just pegged loads of washing out and now the sky's gone grey. Nipping spinning in a minute with Dave.Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

I wish.....
House now up a noise level, watching bgt with dd1&2 whilst elephants parade the house. All Fed and watered, so can relax.. sort of. Does make for a far cheaper party, a few years ago it was ice skating, swimming, soft play etc, now it's a few pizzas and sweets with a movie.
Did chores a day early... don't want dd3 friends and parents to think I'm a slovenly mare.
Seem to be on track with this month's spending, slightly over where should be on groceries but as freezer contents needed replacing completely when switched off whilst on hols, not surprising.Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

Still quite loud noises coming from the music Room (where we have numerous camping children). I am on my 2nd large glass of wine (I feel a sleepover is worthy of a diet break wine... but promise gym in morning)Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

So hope sleepover was ok.
H do you look after yourself better in other ways now you have lost weight?
How do you feel when people treat you differently?0 -
Just 1 child left to be collected, so all calm...
I suppose a part of me has become very protective over my exercise time as its me time. Plus I think the gym is a brilliant stress buster which is an area of my work life I was struggling with a few months ago. I am fortunate that have a lot of old smaller clothes so having "New" stuff to wear is also a lovely aspect to the weight loss.
I found this last time I lost weight, that I perhaps flirt more... not sure that's the right word as I'm very happily married and its not in a sexual way, but I suppose my old confidence is back, I'm more relaxed in my old body so I guess I tease and people to respond to that in a positive manner.
Have some strange comments, like how's the diet going? I then smile / raise eyebrows and they say, oh I can see its going really well. Are you still trying to lose weight? Nope I've never tried, I'm doing it. You look great followed by I'm not saying that just cos your my boss is quite a common one. Was asked if my weight loss was due to the stress of no longer being a job share, my response was if only I could lose weight when stressed, no it's straight to the fridge me ...
I think that people stop making judgements about your abilities, which is very unfair, being slimmer doesn't make me a better manager. Im not sure how that is dealt with as it is a perception.
I am enjoying my job again, not sure if that's because I've taken back control mentally or because mentally I'm in a better place, bit chicken egg .Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

May need to resurrect the plank challenge.. did abs blast tonight and I was pathetic on a .monumental scale. Suppose my abs have got to be in there somewhere.
Good news, had a report to write and usually takes 2 full days, then have to present it, then usually rewrite it and then present in at least 3 more places under scrutiny, naughty chair etc, not that the nhs has a blame culture..... anyway looks like I may now not have too....
The stripey boy has been missing for a few days, not the first time, as mentioned previously, always comes hone not hungry... anyway he wandered back in tonight.
Saw big boy climb the willow tree yesterday, first time since his accident. Doesn't appear to have any limp at all now. Swirley boy has just come in and muddy paws everywhere.
Had bit of a row with dd2, iphone now removed as been getting very lippy of late. Dd1 has exam tomorrow and that has also been a feature of my evening, Dave at work so he's missed all the shouting, tears and general drama.
Sorry but have no mfw to report, nada, not even done a survey tonight...Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

I was just thinking about your cats HDK!
Well done on the fantastic weight loss - I have a habit of catching up with your diary while eating cake
Do you think diet or exercise has made a bigger contribution so far, or that a question that cannot be answered?0 -
I find that running really strengthens my abs, I come home really sore there after a run for some reason!!Mortgage Apr 18 £417,894 BTL Mar 18 £162,857

I think it's 90% food Ed, the exercise gives me some extra room for those little snacks and hopefully is toning things. I too, have just had a small piece of cake, homemade dd3, with pink icing... tbh I think alcohol reduction has also played a part:o Had plenty of opportunities to cheat today, loads of cakes at study day, I even read the calories on the box but then thought, I don't actually want one.
Fd, I haven't run since back from hols but I think it's the one exercise were a feel a real sense of achievement. So must address..
Quick gym tonight whilst girls at music later.
My boys are still lovely thanks Ed, I do so love the little fellas. Stripey boy has a new collar on, but he definitely seems to have a food supply...Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!
