Must try harder!

Hallo WW and friends, de-lurking after reading your diary if that doesn't sound too stalker-ish! I've got a purple fox planner on the shelf so I have already been influenced 😆. I've bookmarked you to keep up with your updates, good luck with all of your goals. Might I say, you do tend to have a go at yourself quite frequently for little slip-ups here and there but it occurs to me, after reading start to finish, that you've come a very long way so I have every faith that you'll get to where you need to be 😀. I'll come along for the ride, if you don't mind!

I looked at nutracheck but I’m not good with apps and technology. I’d probably be ok the first week but my phone can lie in the pit of my handbag for days undetected. I’m going to stick to real life SW me thinks. It did look interesting though. 

We’ve been to a seaside town an hour or so away for a walk along the front, fish and chips in my fave cafe and a ride along the illuminations as they switch them off today until next year. Had a lovely day 😃

I was successful with SW once, but the second time I tried I just couldn’t get back into it. I think I resented all the time after work cooking from scratch. I have the apps on my tablet as the phone is too small for all that malarkey 😬 The seaside day sounds fabulous…I want fish and chips now 😢

@scandimore it’s lovely to see you, please do join in. I love new friends on my diary and I love how friendly we all are. I think I can be a bad influence where stationery and food are concerned 😬

@Sun_Addict I agree. Apps are great when you can get your money’s worth from them. Are there lots of recipes on your WW one?
@redofromstart I love my Fitbit, but wouldn’t spring for the extra services, the free one is fine for me. The fruity one always seems really costly. I’m very competitive too, but get lazy when there’s no one to beat 😖

Good morning and happy Tuesday ❄️☕️
It’s my last day off today 😢 I need to spend some time chasing my work broadband, which stopped working over Christmas. I reported it on Thursday, but it’s still down. It will cause me issues catching up tomorrow if it’s not fixed. 

Ideally I’d like to take the car for a run as it’s been sitting for over a week and the battery objects to cold (even though it was replaced a few years ago), but it really depends on the ice and slush disappearing. 

I’d also like to make some healthy soup with the bits in the veg drawer.
And I’d like to read more of my book.
Most of the big dd’s went out of the bank today, so I’d like to survive the 18 weeks of January on what’s left. My expected spends are accounted for and I’ve no reason to buy anything else…wish me luck! 

I hope you all have a lovely day ☕️⭐️

Morning WW. You’re a bad influence on me, I’ve bought a planner book, not the same as yours but it has lots of pages for plans and goals with stickers. 

I response to the WW app question, yes it has thousands or recipes.

I’m not going to apologise because I know you’ll love it. Stickers are the best 😁

I'm going to stick my nasty non-notebook oar in here & say - why don't you save money & use a spreadsheet & use the colours available on there.  But then the arthritis in my fingers has made my writing on some days pretty much illegible.  At least on here I can go back & correct my mistypes!

Happy new year WW.  Thought of you, been for my yearly check up, not good I am 2" shorter than I thought, thats what getting old does! so I need to loose even more weight!! this from a nurse who was bigger than me!! I came home and ate 2 ginger biscuits - tomorrow is another day.  How are you getting on with watching calories? x

Oh no, I bet that nurse read the numbers wrong, you can’t have shrunk just yet! They must have a lot of brass neck to lecture people on weight when they are much heftier…I know it’s part of the job, but even so 🤣
I’m only on day 2 of my latest effort, but so far so good 😬 I saw on the weighing app that my BMI is apparently obese 😮 I did have to move up to size 14 jeans, but they aren’t tight, so I was horrified to see I’m obese as per BMI. I can’t let that happen 😢 it gave me a bit of a kick up the bum anyway, so I guess that’s something.
