Making chicken feed of my mortgage

muddywhitechicken

1. Go to the gym a minimum of 20 times before 10 December.
No [10/20]
2. Follow the WW plan properly in November and at least 5x/week in December.
Yes... went out for lunch yesterday so not sure how many WW points but plenty of unused weeklies to offset [17/32]
3. Reduce caffeine intake - maximum 1 coffee/day.
Yes [17/32]
4. Drink 1.5 L water/day (including weekends).
Yes, 2 L [17/32]
5. No late nights in November.
In bed at 9.45 pm last night [17/32]
6. No watching rubbish made-for-TV Christmas movies when I'm home alone midweek (I have identified this as a trigger for binge eating ). Go for a walk instead!
No TV, too busy working... [17/32]
7. Make a real effort to get to work early or on-time every day (my current punctuality is appalling)
At my desk before 8 am (+ left just after 6 pm + working lunch + another hour at home = long day) [11/24]
8. Meal plan from larder/freezer/garden in November. Only buy milk, yogurt, bread, fruit & vegetables.
LO masala-spiced beans from Monday with a baked sweet potato [13/32]
9. No unnecessary spending!
NSD [11/32]

Just a question - what counts as a late night?

At the moment 9:30 is late for me....

For me, anything after 10:00 pm Sunday-Thursday or 10:30 pm Friday-Saturday - I've never been able to party all night :rotfl:

In October, I was having far too many 11:00 pm midweek bedtimes for no good reason.

I'm with wishingthemortgaheaway unfortunately, but always been an earlybird.

Sorry work is being rubbish.

I think work is going to be a nightmare for the next few weeks...
A high priority project I'm working on needs to achieve a milestone this year because some numpty put it as a specific corporate scorecard goal :eek:
That's not going to stop me leaving at lunchtime today though

Do share your social plans! I am such a hermit that the chances of me ever being double booked are extremely slim.
