New Life, My DFW Diary!

Good idea.

I was thinking that if I know I can spend £2 a day while I'm at work, I can still pick up a fruit salad if I want one. I wouldn't have thought I'd spend £20 every weekend, but at least the money will be there if I want it for anything.

And if you have a NSD during the week (take a packed lunch etc), you'll then have £4 the next day to buy yourself a (small) treat, maybe a nice face mask or a cheapy little nail varnish or something, so you won't feel as though you're going without!

this is true, i guess small amount seem easier to manage than the big ones.

Morning all.

Well I stayed the same at Slimming world last night :eek: But we think we may have solved the problem, apparently I am not eating enough!!!!! :eek: I thought I was eating like a pig, but apparently it's the wrong things. We worked out that by the time I had had salads, fruit and loads of veg I was hardly eating anything that my body could burn off. So it was just storing everything.

So the plan is.... to eat MORE!!!! So this morning for breakfast I munched on:

Toast, 2 x fried eggs, 2 x Quorn sausages and some tinned spagetti.

I have pasta and new potatoes for lunch and loads of fruit to snack on (it's ok, so long as I eat other things as well) I've been banned for having weetabix for breakfast everyday as he didn't think that this would be helping either. So I have a new eating plan in place and I will let you know if it works.

Money wise, nothing to report. I'm going to have a good tidy up (I'm living in a pig sty I swear!!) and while I do it I'm going to see if there is anything else that I can Amazon or perhaps have a go at Ebay with.

I got home yesterday to find a letter from specsavers saying that I am due for an appointment, so I'll have to book that soon. I wear glasses and contacts so not going isn't an option.

Take care x

Morning!

Eaten loads of healthy food over the weekend, all on the Slimming World plan! So feeling good and will hopefully have a loss on Thursday night. I had a good weekend, had a 30th birthday on Saturday which was fun although beery tiring. Didn't do a huge amount yesterday.

Checked my account this morning and I am £500 into my OD, not good but nevermind, I'll just have to spend a bit more time paying it off.

I've been asked to stay at my OH's parents for Christmas and part of me wants to go, but Mum and I have never been apart at Christmas before and I'm not sure I like the idea of her being on her own. She's fine with it and will go over to her sisters pub for the day. I guess I need to get it over with at sometime.

So the plan for the week is to carry on eating loads and try to spend as little as possible. It's 10 days until payday when I can finish paying off my store card and start working on the OD's :rolleyes:

But I know all the hard work will be worth it.

It's cold in the office today. Really pleased that I remembered to bring a fleece with me.

Feeling a bit full, I had a really nice lunch, pasta with new potatoes in it. yummy!

Trying to get through some work, but not really having the motivation. Can't wait to go home and get back into bed!

Looks like your making good headway into it all now. And your sounding really positive too, keep up the good work!!!

It all hangs until pay day though. My plan can't really start until then. It's just tredding water at the moment which is really depressing.

Good morning all!

Well it's tuesday and I am having a team building/bonding day.... think clay pigeon shooting, quad biking and blind fold driving!!! OH the fun!!

But it does mean I'll have a no spend day as we are being taken out for lunch to :T so all in all should be good and I am never going to complain about a day out of the office.

Had a chat to OH last night and I think between myself and his sister we are whipping him into financial shape Which I am really proud of (although I think his sister made more of an impression than I did... I think she nagged more ) Which has given me a new will to fight my own. It would be really nice to both be debt free sometime in the newar future. As you never know what is round the corner.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day and I will try to update when I get home later.

Take care x
