Must try harder!

Happy Monday. Glad you have a week off to look forward to 🙂

Good morning and happy Tuesday ⭐️ I hardly slept last night. Tossing and turning, it was very annoying. Maybe it’s the excitement of the money shuffle 😅 I will be doing that next.
i lost another 0.5 of a pound this morning, woohoo. Is it finally kicking in or is it because I ate more protein yesterday and went over my calories by 150? I had 2 medium boiled eggs with a salad lunch and a tin of tuna with tea (in a whole meal crimpit with 30g of cheese and a scrape of mayo) to up the protein. Pretty basic, but working with what I have in stock. It was definitely the animal biscuits that pushed me over the target calories, rather than the seedy breakfast toast 🤭
i failed miserably with the step count as I was really busy at work all day.
i am off to do the money shuffle, but after a relaxed spendy month I think I will still be about £300 up on last month, including the oil payment (which they haven’t taken yet..grrrr) and some nice treats like the nail kit, so I’ll be happy with that. 

I hope you all have a brilliant day ☀️🌷(spellcheck tried to auto fill brilliant to blessed, like I’m some kind of hedge witch 😬).

Happy payday!

Good morning and happy Wednesday ⭐️✨
Almost at the hump! 

I came in at £320 saved last month, which isn’t too bad considering how relaxed I was.
The only thing that is annoying me is that the oil payment still hasn’t gone out 😖 I might have to chase them again. I try and pay the minute I order, but they just won’t process it and it’s been a month now. 

One of my nails popped off yesterday so I changed them all last night. I’m not loving how my natural nails look underneath, but they are so thin they’d all break off if I leave them uncovered, so I redid them and will give them a break after the holidays. They last set lasted a week, but as they don’t chip, it’s pretty good for someone as clumsy as me 😬
The scales went down 0.3 of a pound this morning, so that’s 3 days in a row. Marvellous! I don’t think I’m doing much different apart from I was on 1400 cals and nothing shifted, I went down to 1300 and nothing shifted, I went back up to 1400 and now it’s moving a bit. So maybe I have tricked myself into thinking the good times are here 🤭 We are planning fish and chips for tea, but I am going to share my fish with dog (we usually have one each) and just a few chips. I will count it all in as best I can, but it’s certainly more deep fried than I’ve had for a month. 

I hope you all have a good day ☀️🌷

Good morning and happy Thursday ☀️🌷
The half portion of fish and chips weren’t as nice as anticipated. The chips were hard and although the fish was huge and white and fluffy it didn’t hit quite right, like it had a charred cardboard flavour despite the batter looking perfect. MrWW and dog had no complaints on the fish, but agreed the chips weren’t good this time. I’m wondering if a month off anything deep fried has altered my tastebuds 😅 So dog ended up with 3 quarters of the fish and I didn’t have many chips…..I still went up 0.4 of a pound today, but on the scale tracker it says my muscle has increased and the fat reading decreased so it’s not all bad!
I won £100 on the premium bonds, so that’s brilliant. They are set to reinvest. I had a 4 month run last year and then this year a 4 month dry spell, so I’m really glad to finally get a win this year. 

Work has been spookily quiet for a few days, so I’m hoping nothing nasty drops before I’m on leave so I can sort out all of the niggely bits I don’t normally have time for. 

I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday 🌷⭐️☀️

What a shame about the fish and chips when you were looking forward to them. I can’t eat anything deep fried at all it makes me feel sick. Well done on the PB win 👏

Good news on the win.

Lol at you being too healthy now to enjoy deep fried fish 

Fab PB win, are you auto-reinvesting it?

Sadly chocolate and crisps are still tasting delicious! 

I do auto reinvest. It goes straight into the next draw which is good. I try not to think of it as real money, but I will add it into my May savings total 😬

Well done on the savings and PB win
