Must try harder!

WinterWarrior

Work today 😢 So many emails to catch up on and I don’t know if I’m coming or going! Also another increase on the scales this morning 😮 Hopefully it will drop back off tomorrow, or at least sometime this week. I desperately want to get into the one stone bracket and all this 2 steps forward, one step back is not helping 😖
I don’t plan to spend anything today and hope for a very low spend for the rest of the month so I can hold onto some increase in the savings despite the car bill. 

I hope you are all surviving Monday ☕️☕️🌟

The yo-yoing is the worst!  You'll get to the stone soon.  Keep up the good work!

Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️ I’m reporting in early today as yesterday was so busy. I seemed to spend the day solving everyone else’s problems instead of my own. I’m considering requesting my own help line number…why not make it official 🙄
My weight is continuing to creep up and I have no idea why! I’m definitely sticking to the calories and even drank water yesterday. I’m used to the yo yo effect, but I expect the down as well as the up 😖 I’m determined not to lose the will while it messes with me! 

The spare cat came yesterday and MrWW reported he’s waiting on the windowsill for breakfast again today as he left for work 🙄 (MrWW left for work, the spare cat is the one on the windowsill). Yesterday he was bouncing about rubbing on dog and when I picked him up for a cuddle he was riddled with ticks (I’m never sure if it has a k or not, I need to google). Luckily dog was front l*ned last week when spare cat first had one. I had then ordered some cat front l*ne, but his person came to collect him and we said he had ticks (and helped get one off his ear before he went home) and presumed they would dose him as we’d spoken about it…clearly they hadn’t bothered, so I dropped a pipet of the stuff on his neck yesterday while he ate lunch on the step. I’m hoping the creepy things have dropped off him today. I’m not a bit worried he’ll get medicated at home and be overdosed as they say they’ll do it, but never do. They’ve said they’d keep him in to stop him wandering, but they don’t as he sometimes arrives back in a day. They say they’ve booked him for neutering several times to us, but it’s never happened so I don’t know why they say it 😡 We don’t want another cat and they keep taking him home, but won’t do anything to stop him wandering. Apparently there’s another house he eats at too 😅 
I hope you all have a good day today ☕️☕️

Have a good day!  Annoying about the weight, and irresponsible cat owners!

I agree that the weight loss is annoying...if only our bodies would give a little print out of faults so we know what we're doing wrong. Try walking on the spot while you're waiting for dog in the garden or waiting for the kettle to boil, that kind of thing. 

Our own spare cat (we do know his name) turned up on Sunday morning. His people are late sleepers and I'm not so when he fancies an early breakfast he calls by for a treat stick. His owners know and think it's funny. He even knocks on our french windows.

@CRANKY40 we have another who only comes when his dad is on shifts. He demands food, but you can’t stroke him or he he hisses and smacks 😅 He is well loved and looked after and is built like a tank. I haven’t seen him for months, but he has phases. 

A print out would be amazing as clearly my fat doesn’t understand that putting less in should result in less weight!

Another late one. I had such a busy day. Year end is a nightmare 😕 
I hope you’ve all had a good Thursday…the weekend is in sight.
I have spent today, but just on a bulk order of TP .. which had gone up nearly £4 since I ordered it last 🙄
A week tomorrow until pay day too! If I can hold myself together for a week I will still have made some savings, even with the £600 garage bill 😁
The scales were better today…I’m not at my lowest, but a few points dropped back off, so that’s a relief. I was worried I was going to put everything back on in some weird medical anomaly 😅

Well, if there is another world crisis and a run on loo role again, at least you will be well stocked 😁. 
I find with weight loss its only worth me checking once a week - it's too variable and annoying if I check it daily.

I got into the bulk ordering habit because of the crisis and now I can’t kick the habit. There’s something so satisfying in having plenty in 🤭 if we were across the pond I’d be able to cover the houses of my enemies in TP and still have some left to cope with the excitement 🤣🤣🤣
I lose momentum if I don’t weigh each day. Even the increases keep me focused…and of course give me something else to moan about 😬

I actually bought my one and only bulk order of loo role about a month before everything went mad. I had just started on the moneysaving lifestyle and worked out it would be cheaper. So I ended up offering friends loo rolls if they needed them and leaving them on doorsteps. Crazy times 😂.

I should probably look into doing bulk ordering again!
