5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

Spendy day yesterday, paid dd1 Sunday music for year, car insurance, cats vaccinations. Necessary and unexciting but all needed sorting. Miscalculated payday, it's Tuesday.... booooooo, thought the bh made it Friday but a day short. Sat and did receipts etc anyway, so good job done.
Had lots of visits, my bf, my parents, all unexpected but nice.

Everyone sleeping, so nipping to gym and fetch some more fruit as we fly through it when off school. Thinking May go for family bike ride later if stays nice.

Weigh in shows a sts, which happy with as was surprised with last week's loss and always a bit nervous it's a false low. Feel as though body is changing regardless, feel more muscular, especially arms, bum and thighs. Did the boot camp class yesterday.

Starting looking at next year's holidays, think that will be my next job.

Big family wedding Thursday,haven't seen 2 of my brothers since Christmas, so be nice to catch up. Think they may be surprised to see the slimmer me.

A nice feeling....I imagine!

Thanks AL.

Still internal debate 're wedding money gift. Don't want to be tight but equally think the amount should reflect what we would spend on a gift.

Back from gym, but no one in my house seems to want to move and feeling frustrated. Glad burnt 600+ calories or I'd be even grumpier.
Also incredibly hungry. Had 1 slice of toast and 1/2 tin beans then ate exactly the same again. Definitely a carb hunger. Feel on prowl and just ate S stick of licorice

Mfw family day out. Biking round Sherwood pines, parked at vicars waters, so just £1 to park, then took a connecting trail to the pines. Picnic lunch made a lovely and healthy day out. Stopped off at a huge asda, now have school blouses so sorted for return to school, as was my last job.

Gym early this morning and haven't done weights in a while, preferring classes with weights etc. When did the leg thingy was shocked that my usual weight was way too easy.

Had family movie night last night, which is always a nice.

Signature updated for September. My first ever morgage was for £32,000! Was back in 1994 though. Also now under my mfit challenge goal.

Miserable weather, was planning on a run but instead jobs. Back to work tomorrow.

So impressed with your weight loss progress. Very well done. How far are you from target?

HelenDaveKids

Thanks sss. I suppose it was initially 4 stone but now want to be 10 stone so another 5lbs, more for leeway than anything else. Im now in 10-12 clothes which is exactly where I wanted to be.

I'm always impressed with your weight loss but progress, but very very well done on returning to 1994 mortgage levels, that's pretty much peanuts compared to houses now!

Thanks fd, now at ltv under 15%!! I try and throw a teeny bit of mfw in now and again........, but have been motivated in other directions of a different pound reduction. Tbh think I may be getting ready for a new challenge, keep finding myself on right move type sites, although no way doing a renovation for a few years. When have some spare cash I do want to do those finishy jobs, driveway, floor boarding attic, recarpeting, etc.

Had a tough few days at work recently, but today feel back in control. Doesn't help having holidays then working less hours to be around for girls. Dave did say last week, he couldn't have any time off as was busy at work, I did have to take a sharp intake of breath and count backward ...cos obviously my jobs such a doddle.

My car gets worse, have wood holding up window, crack in my windscreen, the doors are getting harder to close, with bits of brokenness everywhere. So getting more desperate for replacing. Don't think any of these jobs will be worth doing, as reckon it will be worth about 50p when I part x. One of my deputies today said, that my house is gorgeous but my car detracts from the look. I told her I keep the car to put any wannabe burglaries away, cos we are clearly broke. I also never get tickets at work, this is imo because they pity me .

Just had to save dd3 from a huge spider and it tried to make a break for it :eek:
