Uni vs' The Beast Pt 2

Uniscots97

Well I bought another 2 sets of drawers and they are now in my craft/junk room. I managed to clear 4 bags of rubbish (carrier bags) so I now have a bit of floor space. I'll do a bit more tomorrow. I've put all the stuff I've bought as gifts for birthdays/Xmas (on sale) together so I know where they are.

Got given £36 I was owed and in it was 3 £2 coins so they are going into my savings jar. The £50 I mentioned I would pay to my cc I'll pay that tomorrow.

£50 paid to cc. New total in my signature. Now I know Beast looks like its increased and yes it has, they offered me 0% for a year on balance transfers so I transfer a bit from one of my other cc's.

Workwise, my extension came through and its not correct. So they are away to sort it out. New end date is mid november, positive vibes they keep me on after that! I like where I'm working and they're a nice bunch, yes I have frustrations but given what I do and some of the stuff I've worked on over the years frustrations are a given.

Pay? Yep, its pay day and they've paid me in two lots (goodness knows why). I think this might have been due to me having to resubmit some paperwork. I'll transfer money later to cover bills at the end of the month. I put this in a separate account then I can see exactly what I've got.

Lunch? Definitely not healthy went for chips with my colleagues. They were lovely!!!

Tonight? Tarot if I'm not too tired, but tempted to carry on the tidy up/clear out. Wondering whether to buy another set of drawers to sort out my craft room. Still lots of stuff to tidy up, I can only see a small bit of the floor. I'd like to see more of it.

Morning All, not feeling too brilliant today and I have a feeling that today isn't going to be the easiest at work.

Money wise, petrol money and shopping money are to clear from my account and I need to take £50 out as I'm getting my (and OH's) hair done tonight. Once I see what I've got left for the week I'll sort out an extra payment to my cc.

Anyway, Beast total updated.

Happy Monday

Thanks HAW.

Well I started an exercise thing last week, someone mentioned it in work. You do squats and waist stretches each day but you build up the reps each day. I'm now up to 30 squats and 10 waist stretches each day. I increases the squats by 5 a day and the stretches by 2. Definitely feeling a difference.

Lunch today was pack of snack crackers from Aldi (the pack has 10 packs of 8 crackers so perfect for lunch boxes) with cheese triangles, a small slice of cheddar and grapes. Decided I could have a small piece of chocolate or low fat crisps, went for a caramel freddo. I've got an apple and a plum for later if I want them. Breakfast was one slice of wholemeal toast with lighter butter, mixed berries and fat free natural yoghurt and I had a banana as a mid morning snack. Here's hoping I can keep it up!!!!!!

Morning All, got my hair done last night. OH treated me to a takeaway, bad I know. I had stir fry chicken with ginger but I did have fried rice.

Moneywise? I have £28 left in the bank till friday. But bills are all paid. OH borrowed £5 this morning as he's away to see some family and got the bus, meeting him there after work. I would have preferred to have more left as the money OH gave me I should have had £40 left over but I supposed I should see it as though that paid for the groceries at the weekend. Now that he's stopped smoking (well he's using an e-cig) he's trying to give me an amount each week. Before that it was quite adhock, but if I got a big bill he would either pay it or chip in. I had three £2 coins in my purse so they've gone into my piggy bank. The last time I emptied the piggy bank was for my holiday but not sure if the next time emptying it will be for the craft show beginning of november or just before christmas.

Must remember and order my road tax. Although I've been putting money away, I've not long started this so not enough yet to cover it fully.

Just had fat free natural yoghurt and berries for breakfast, I've got crackers and low fat spready cheese for lunch plus a banana, grapes and a plum. Not seeing a difference in my weight (i.e. in my jeans) yet I now have stretchmarks on the base of my stomach :eek:. Couldn't believe it.

Mmmmm your grub yesterday sounds yummy! I could def live on that! Best thing you can do - eat little and often. And never go more than 3 hours without eating something.

Takeaway once in a while won't kill you. If you've been 'good' all day, then you can allow yourself your treats. Just keep an eye on portion sizes with takeaways coz they can be scary! (Me and OH would struggle to eat 1 chinese portion between us!! )

You've only been doing this a few days or so, but to see a difference already is brilliant! I tend to go more by how my clothes fit rather than how much I actually weigh.

Well done so far :T
