    Just taken a big step - popped my first happy pill:D:A Apparently it'll take about 10 days before I feel the benefit though...

    Just totted up May's grocery shopping - £2 over budget. I think I can live with that, especially as the budget was originally set for 2 adults and now includes a cat's requirements and nappies;)

    Might go over a bit in June but have bought a glut of meat so expect to be able to save on that in July so quite happy with that:D

    Mixed start to today...

    Couldn't get myself motivated to get up in time to go for a run before Hubbles goes to work so now I'm p'd off with myself for being a lazy useless mare:mad:

    On the plus side, Nathan is 100% over whatever ailed him at the start of the week and I have almost reclaimed my dining table from the junk piled on it...:D

    Lovely sunny day today - must make the most of it.

    Hubbles hopes to be home at lunchtime so may head up to the outdoor pool for a couple hours this afternoon...

    How will I know if the anti Ds are working:confused:

  • How will I know if the anti Ds are working:confused:

    Not easy to describe but after a while things wont seem as bad as before not perfect but more able to be coped with.

    Have fun at the pool - our outdoor has been closed for years used to be great as a kid :(

    Had a lovely afternoon yesterday. Did a quick (45min) workout incl 2.5km on the treadie then lounged by the pool a bit before heading home. Once the wee man was in bed popped my runners back on and went out for another 7km:D It was hard work but I am really pleased with myself.

    If I can knock off another 11.5km this weekend HUbbles will be buying me a pair of jeans that actually fit:j:rotfl:(current ones have a tendency to fall down)

    Also hopped on the Wii Fit - another pound lost - now officially under 11 stone for the first time in goodness knows how long:j:j:j
