2020++ - smiling and waving and looking so fine

Wow another 2 weeks gone - time is flying.

Holiday was lovely sunny but windy mainly.  Did some long walks so my steps are good, now over 1.6million on my rolling annual total.  Have plans to go out more at home now its lighter earlier.  My Gym membership is not getting used a lot, but will persevere for rainy days, and when I am bored of walking!

Money OK - CC balances steady now that all the long weekend breaks etc we are advanced spending on have been paid for.  Looking forward to a nice summer balance of work and breaks - I have an interesting project which will see me through to June full time, and then we will see what happens after that.  Our area has county council elections this year so that's taking up free time until May 1.  

Weight level over the period of the holiday and a little down following it, but have had some big birthday meals recently and now mothers day Roast today so probably going to be flat for a while

Enjoy your day today

Glad you have interesting work. The steps are impressive and will help keep your weight where you need it to be.

Well done on the steps.  Holiday sounds good too.

Hi @mark55man pleased to read that you enjoyed your holiday.  When on holiday it's amazing how far we walk without really noticing, and it's great that you now feel motivated to get out more now that you are home.  Better to have an interesting project to complete at work, rather than one that is a monotonous never ending slog (been there, done that).  Keep plodding on with your goals, you will get there.

Thanks SH and Humboldt

Yes seems like it was months ago.  Work has been busy and regular readers will know I get involved in the local elections this time of year which is keeping the steps up and the snacking down.

Lost another kilo since I last reported in so a little shy of a stone lost since the start of the year.  That will be our next target

Go you @mark55man! Fantastic effort.

It'll be all the walking. Well done.

Well done on the walking and the weightloss.

Hello everyone - back to normal after the elections.  Did a lot of walking, had some great conversations and a few doors shut quickly in my face, but Team Red did OK in the shire although not as well as the yellows/greens and both team blues did really poorly.  But, that's enough of that.

A quiet weekend but seeing friends this afternoon and trying to do a day out tomorrow then back to work.

Despite doing a lot of steps my rolling annual numbers aren't much different as I did much the same last year. 

Weight is going down - I am now 104kg a loss of 6kg this calendar year. So that's nearly a stone - just over a kilo a month.  Which will put me under 100Kg by September.  After that will aim for 200 lbs which is mixing my metaphors but should be achievable this time next year.

Financially some old same old.  My FIL's estate is nearing completion so will be enough to pay off the spend in advance balances on CCs and also the balance of the Mortgage with enough left over to give a little to the kids. The my OH will have a nest egg that balances our getting old pots/pensions.

Morning @mark55man excellent weight loss, and financials are looking good for the future.  Hope that you enjoyed time with friends.
