Work isn't that great at the moment - need to remember that food won't make me feel better in the long run!

Okay, so the first of the month always makes me ponder things slightly. Time to get back on the straight and narrow and focus more on the month ahead.

In exciting news (well it is to me! ) the daily mortgage interest has gone below the £10 :j :j to £9.97 to be exact it's all going in the right direction, woohoo. All the OP'ing is paying off!

First NSD today as well; took lunch to work with me and didn't need to spend anything. I don't count DDs in my NSD count, otherwise I'd hardly get any :rotfl: as we have lots of DDs that go out at different times.

The one big money thing that will happen this month is we pay the balance off for our Canada/America holidays, which will leave the holiday account empty... worth it though I think we'll sell some shares that we have to get our spending money, we shall see nearer the time.

And, as I weighed myself this morning and I'm the highest weight I've ever been I need to start being honest with what I eat.

breakfast - breakfast biscuits
lunch - banana, orange, yogurt
snack - 2 chocolate digestives
dinner - hairy dieters chili salmon with spaghetti.

I'm under my calorie allowance for today, according the MFP. I'm hoping to keep it that way

Exciting news - well to me it is - our mortgage is down to the next 10,000's bracket :j :j our mortgage currently stands at £109,950.00 :j can't wait until it's 5 figures


I'm also glad it's the weekend; this week has been hard, long and frustrating at times.

NSD 2 for me today too

You are going great guns on the OPs SF :T

I always like reading your diary as it is so focused, I'm sure that you can apply the same rigour to healthy eating *before going to North America*.

I've been to the US 3 times now, each time I put on nearly a stone

I'm sorry work's being a pain, but well done SF on the mortgage :T Both the interest and the balance too :beer:

I find my life seems to yoyo between periods when I'm really focused and times when everything seems to get away from me, then I reach a limit and start to focus again. Whether its weight, fitness or money, I thinks it's the natural cycle of things for me!

I hope you enjoy the long weekend!

Ooh it's nice to see you back! And thanks I'm aiming to lose a stone before we go so that I can put it on again whilst we're there

I'm exactly the same - I'm an all-or-nothing person I think I need to focus now though, before time runs out! and you too
