    Ouch to lattes - I have a couple a day at work! :eek: Right - challenge this week - have a herbal tea instead - no caffeine, no calories and pretty much the only hot drink that contributes to your water intake!

    Enjoy week two Hypno - and everyone else - enjoy your days. Talk later!

    Morning Hypno and anyone else hanging around here :hello:

    Well done on the running you two. I can't run at all although something I would love to do. I am just upping my steps at the moment trying to hit the daily 10000 which in itself seems impossible to me lol........... and I wonder why I am overweight.

    Had a fab weekend, weather was lovely and we took our little girl out to the woods and had a picnic, very MSE as before it would have been a theme park and some dodgy burger and chips.

    Not much planned here today although the house is looking like a bomb site so guess I best do some housework.

    well, I have been good - put the money from the saved bus fare straight off the egg card (they will think I am daft transferring £1.10, but who cares!) and put the money I have NOT spent on lattes today in my savings to go towards paying off my loan early :j

    Instead I bought a couple of bottles of sparkling water - good for the waistline and good for the pocket.

    Someone else here is trying to reduce latte intake, so we have agreed that on Tuesdays and Thursdays when we have a morning meeting, we will have a latte to take in with us - the rest of the time it is Kenco.......

    Love the idea of a vegetarian monday (wed, fri...) - I would like to cut the meat we eat for lots of reasons. Think I will pinch this idea! Thanks :)

    Evening Hypno - glad you had a good day at work - Latte & Kenco - assume thats coffee? Uck - I can;t stand the stuff - I have green tea or a slice of lemon in hot water - or our own honey and lemon.

    Just waiting for dinner to cook - baked sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots, peas and sausages fo tea.

    hope you have a relaxing evening.

    I can relate El -- my meat eater OH is distinctly anti-veg! He's finally succumbed to Spinach Lasagne & Greek Spanokapita -- have a sneaking suspicion that if I didn't tell him it's veg, he'd eat just about anything as long as it felt substantial in his belly...
