    Tuesday update
    overpayment goal
    no extra money saved or brought in
    nothing out of budget spent
    movement goal
    1) physio done
    2) lunchtime walk done
    3) 20mins to the office done
    only 8 active minutes (not sure how that happened) & hit 1.5X my step goal

    Wednesday update
    overpayment goal
    this month's overpayment already budgeted for - will set that up in the online banking for tomorrow - 294 for Jan
    going to do the ynab shuffle and see if anything can be swept into the march payment - 100 swept into March payment
    4 pounds saved on sandwich meat as freezer dive revealed we had sliced turkey ham already in house
    107.48/294 with 183.04 to go
    movement goal
    am very tired today and even f!tb!t says I should be taking a rest day! so minimal movement planned
    also pleased to see half of the xmas weight gain has shifted after only a week of 'normality' - it was not the goal when trying to re-implement good movement habits, but a nice side effect

    This morning started off with a power tidy of the house, attempting to put out all the recycling (a success) and the rubbish (not a success).  The lid on the rubbish bin was frozen shut with a layer of ice so will have to wait and try again at mid-day break.  This week's grocery shop arrived bright and early, as OH is currently not able to take this on during a day I'm in the office.  He managed to tackle the eggs into the basket and made us coffees and breakfasts while I put everything away.  So nice start to the day with a new-to-us rythmn found.

    Then on to a slowish start to the working day - bosslady is off for the day so I was able to have a no-stress morning - hooray! - a good pace for me atm - rest of the day will be pomodoros - little bites of work with little breaks of movement/chores.

    ETA - upper management sent out the e-mail letter to all staff about redundancies today - it was harsh - I'm glad I'm not in the office to hear the annoyance it will have caused.
