My journey to a debt free life

I bet the walking to work is helping with the weightloss as well as the calorie counting- well done on 9 lb. I dread to think what my weigh in will be on Wednesday. I’ve had a lovely few days with my dd and eaten very healthily but she uses olive oil……I’ve had several meals out and birthday chocolates. I’ve done a fair bit of walking but I’ll be gobsmacked if I stay the same 🤞
I imagine the Pilates will help but be careful not to do too much. Any news when you see the physio?

Hopefully it won't be too bad for you on Wednesday, I dot mind a gain so long as I know why and I enjoyed myself gaining it 😀I use oil for cooking, I tried frylight but don't like it .
I haven't started the Pilates yet so I'm not sure what it's like but she does ten minute routines and some chair based ones so I will try those first, my physio appointment is on the 20th of this month

Woke up yesterday feeling ok again 🤷‍♀️I don't know what's going on with my chest but I used my preventer inhaler that they gave me last year and that seems to have helped with the wheezyness 
Work was ok and the day went by quite fast 🎉🎉

Today I didn't get up until 10.30 which was lovely then DD suggested taking B down to the river for her walk because it was sunny.
I went off for a shower and remembered it's October and dogs are allowed on the beach now so I suggested we went to the beach instead. B loves the beach and it's only 30 minutes on the train so not too long to get there. It did however rain quite badly on the way to the station so we got a bit soggy, we did dry off on the train and had a lovely walk right from one end of the beach to the other. We weren't so lucky with the rain on the way back though,it absolutely hammered down when we were coming back up the beach with some hail thrown in too, we had to run for cover and wait it out for a bit but by then our legs and feet were soaked 😀 it was a lovely walk listening to the waves crashing on the shore though and B was like a puppy running around. Altogether we were walking for about 2 hours so hopefully that will have burnt off the lemon drizzle cake we bought in the cafe 😬

We came home and I have spent my evening planning my Christmas decorations. I told DD about my idea for a Pom Pom Garland and she is up for making some so we are going to go with that idea, I will need to buy the wool but once made they will last for years. I then did something very dangerous and stupid and went on a big craft stores website ........ oh dear the temptation was almost too much, I had £21 worth of bits in my basket before I knew what I was doing. They have these wooden Christmas scene decorations that you paint yourself for £2 each that looked lovely,then I saw the wooden house advent calendar that I've wanted for years that you paint yourself 😍😍 be still my beating heart 😀......I am glad to say I came to my senses and deleted them all before I could get my card out of my purse........ this time....... I still want that advent house and it would be a family heirloom wouldn't it 😬

I think that may be this year's version of the one I made as a gift a few years ago! I enjoyed doing it, too... perhaps someone would give it as an early Christmas present? They go out of stock well before Christmas, unfortunately.

Sounds as if you resist temptation better than I do. I was in town at physio today and purposely didn’t walk to the end of town with big chain craft shop…..I know I wouldn’t have been able to resist if I’d gone in 😂😂😂

Loads of the Christmas stuff was already out of stock. I'm still tempted but the advent house so might treat myself 😊

If I was in the actual shop I would have walked out with all the things I saw but I seem to be better at resisting if it's on a website......I'm still thinking about that house though 😀

I think you should treat yourself to it, it will be something you will use for many years. Is it one that you could put sweets in for your Gks

Worked my 9-5 today and it was a nice relaxing day 🎉🎉 with some laughs thrown in for good measure.

I walked back into town when I left so I could buy a little birthday cake for my mum for tomorrow, I'm going up there to drop off her presents. After walking to town I carried on to my SW meeting to weigh in and I lost another 1.5lbs 🎉🏅🎉🏅 I didn't stay tonight because it was the later meeting and I needed to get home for something to eat and to walk B, I then walked home from my SW meeting so about 1hour and 40 minutes walking today. I did go over my calories today because I bought a Mac and cheese ready meal and a lemon muffin from M&S on my way home. I felt really cold all day today and by the time I left work I was really hungry and I don't make good food choices if I get that hungry. I decided to treat myself and get back on it tomorrow 

Tomorrow I'm taking B to my mums so will walk down to the station to get the bus, then I will walk back from my mums into town which will take about 30 minutes, I'm not walking all the way home because it's too far for B to walk now so  we will get the bus from town the rest of the way to save her little legs 😀

I've also  just remembered that my newly adjusted payment will have gone out to SC on Friday so I will update my signature to show that in a minute
