    No exercise this morning, gave the kitchen a good clean instead. I've been feeling really tired in the evenings by 8pm (just after I've finished the overtime) and am not getting much done in an evening bar making tea/lunches.

    Perhaps, Fairy, your desert pots were reduced in calories too ;) Gotta treat yourself when you get an urge or you end up splurging!

    Hi Fairy,

    1lb lost this week. Must confess I was hoping for more, I've been really good (for me anyway) this week. Cutting down/out on alcohol this week to see if that has any effect.
    Also did C25K week 2 - 1 this morning. Not sure I'll be runng 5k in 9 weeks!

    Not too much to do today. Must do menu and shopping list, change bedding (already stripped bed but didn't have time this morning to make it) and get together paperwork we need for tomorrow's meeting with mortgage advisor.
