    15/31 for tonight please. Thanks Shaggy. I know it's sad but was looking forward to 2nd smiley today - didn't see that it was the same for 7 and 14 days.

    Like I said, I know it's really sad - looking forward to a new smiley :o


    You're not the only one, I think it's the main factor actually, got my first one EVER on the last run down, feels SO good! Although still not as fresh as I thought I'd feel, but that crazy work shifts I guess

    Keep it up everybody :)

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Feeling really pleased with myself to have got far had a couple of days when I really fancied a drink but didn't. Well done everyone the numbers for January are looking really good :T.
    My sleep has sorted itself now and I wake up much more alert and refreshed these days which is great but taking advice from the forum I am making an effort to drink at least 2 big glasses of water alongside tea/juice etc which I think has helped. :A
    Learn from yesterday
    Live for today
    Hope for tomorrow
