Learning to ask myself ...do I need that???

I have lost half a pound of fat tonight :o) its a good thing, I am back to 16 stone, so got 26 days to lose 14lbs.LOL

Ok so my second stone is a wee bit longer in coming than I hoped but I will get there. I have popped up the pic of a lb of fat to remind myself how much of an achievement 1/2 lb is. :o)

I am still looking at habits.

Last night I set myself a life laundry task and achieved it. I emptied not one but two wardrobe bottoms and sorted out a whole box full of stuff for the car boot (all good for teh wedding fund lol)

Today I found myself wandering aimlessly around the supermarket, I had to go to pick up some stuff for work, but I was gazing at cakes...which I avoided by loitering near the toiletries...found 3 shower gels in my basket having been seduced by the 5 items for £3...but then I stopped...do I need these?

The answer was a resounding no, it was a bargain but not when you have a cupboard full of expensive smellies your nearest and dearest bought you for your birthday.

Recognising these things will help me save pounds...not just lbs but £££££'s.

Life long journey methinks.....I have also found my rosemary conley book day by day which has an exercise to do each day :o) May give it a go !!!!


Good luck all of you xxxx

Its been a funny old week ......

I really don't know what the scales will say tomorrow ....i am hoping to have lsot some of this months gain, but you never know.

I have tracked the latter half the week and I have done lots and lots of exercise, but is it enough. I am aiming for a STS but we shall see.

Work is a nightmare so I have decided I really need to take stock and keep myself healthy. Part of that is eating properly and giving myself 'me time'. I have realised I can have 'me time' by exercising, be taht walking with ,ates or going to the gym. I have also realised I need to plan all this.

I am also trying to goal set a wee bit more. I have very little time but realise taht the lack of cleaning and tidying I do gets me down. so instead of disparing at lack of time I am setting myself small achievable 'life laundry taks' each night.

Tonight for example I have decided to look at the messy bottom of one of my wardrobes, full of old shoes and bags and things with no homes. I have a keep, unsure and bin box, and also a take to keiths for car boot sale box. Keith has decided that a carboot sale may inspire me to declutter, and this means we can help our wedding fund :o).

lets hope I can keep this up.
