Not at work today
Washing done and out frying/dishes X2/chicken curry prepped and some frozen/washed my hair/
I am going for a walk to pop into the library, top up my phone and maybe have a coffee out. I will get a bank statement too to see if my salary is in…
There is stuff I need. ISN’T THERE ALWAYS? WHY IS THAT? Random stuff like baking soda, ground almonds and moisturiser…
The better eating is already paying off and I am back to feeling more balanced and wanting healthier food again.
I try out a new exercise class tonight...
I am ahead on my broadband/telephone so I will be moving the regular payment so I can pay off my energy bill in one go today. :money:
So there we are, my day plan. Not very exciting, but as Beanie might say, it is what it is.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

But I'm so pleased to read that the healthier eating regime is producing results and you're feeling a lot better in yourself.:)
I hope the new exercise class went well.

DIA and Seasidegal,
I bought a bar of 90% G0diva chocolate yesterday and it was surprisingly sweet. Very addictive as well so I won't be buying it again but if you have discipline and assuming that it really is 90%, could it answer your problems?"A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle without shortening the life of that candle."

I hope you feel less tired today DIA. I've missed loads of Pilates classes lately, but I've just been too tired to go for various reasons. No point in going if you're exhausted before you get there.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

what HHOD says is very true, BUT sometimes when you are tired of day to day things it can actually perk you up to some exercise or even an outing, but mainly an exercise. its all too easy to be too busy/tired for these type of things but they are important.
using my Fitbit steps as a barometer is interesting as its either 3,000 when I cant find a way to get out or 12,000 when I can - not much in the middle. so I find a good talking to myself sometimes helps make the difference
good luck with the rest of your week and weekendI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine0 -

i completely agree. I only miss Pilates when I'm exhausted already, but never because I CBA. There is also a difference between mental and physical tiredness. If you've been working on a computer all day and feel tired then exercise will make you feel better. If you're tired because you've been gardening all day then you should probably rest

I worked in the city yesterday. I spent on fares/coffee/cake (£11.40) could have been worse but I took in lunch. I seem to spend so much on food and fares :eek:
I don’t need to go to the office tomorrow so WFH and will have a NSD
Left work late (and hungry) yesterday, picked up a few YS items in Mr.W including a FR chicken in the Dutch pot cooking nowCooking now so when I get in hungry it is there ready. I’ve noticed I eat loads waiting for my meal to be ready and then eat again when the meal is ready! Soup and salad tonight…
Off to meet a friend today for a meet up
Texted plasterer to come and quote
