MWC, you are a Harry P0tter philistine!

I am - sorry - and I have a smutty mind!

Plans for today: I did the easy stuff!

[STRIKE]Gym
Meal plan & write shopping list
More grocery shopping
Buy wrapping paper & wrap nephew's gifts
Pick PSB & salad leaves[/STRIKE]
Tidy garden - use leaf blower/vac thingy - nope
[STRIKE]Laundry[/STRIKE]
Housework - a little but not nearly enough
A little bit of work - not yet
[STRIKE]Discuss our social plans for the next 5 weeks - I'll be surprised if we haven't already double-booked ourselves...[/STRIKE]

1. Go to the gym a minimum of 20 times before 10 December.
Yes [12/20]
2. Follow the WW plan properly in November and at least 5x/week in December.
:mad: the plan has changed and my daily points allowance is lower, 23/23 WW points [20/32]
3. Reduce caffeine intake - maximum 1 coffee/day.
Yes, a freebie from WR [20/32]
4. Drink 1.5 L water/day (including weekends).
Yes, 1.5 L [20/32]
5. No late nights in November.
Planning to be in bed by 9.45 pm - early start tomorrow [20/32]
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!
Lots of rugby [20/32]
7. Make a real effort to get to work early or on-time every day (my current punctuality is appalling)
N/A [13/24]
8. Meal plan from larder/freezer/garden in November. Only buy milk, yogurt, bread, fruit & vegetables.
Mr MWC's choice of pre-race meal - orzo pasta salad with grilled salmon (had to buy most of the ingredients) [15/32]
9. No unnecessary spending!
Another spendy day including unnecessary skincare purchases [12/32]

Hello :wave:

muddywhitechicken

Mr MWC ran his first half marathon this morning and finished in just over 2 hours :T:T:T
Not bad for an old man :rotfl:

Weigh-in day for me and I've lost 2.5 lb :j That's 9.5 lb in 3 weeks

And the leaf blower is still in the box... By the time we'd finished a late lunch, there was just enough daylight to muck out The Girls and pick some salad leaves. Updated tally is 22 bags @ £1.63/bag

Too tired for more than a quick update *yawn*

No :mad: dreadful traffic and I was 5 minutes late... and then it was even worse coming home :mad: [13/24]

Well done Mr MWC :T:T:T

I sympathise with your bad journeys MWC, I've had some dreadful ones recently and my commute is long enough as it is I work in central Cambridge so it's only going to get worse as Christmas approaches. I look forward to half terms and holidays when it all eases up!
