Yeah, I know you were kidding.
But, you, like everyone else, realised too late just how epic I am
hahaGlad you bought one. You'll love it.
How many steps a person has to do is based on their height and weight and it resets after 7 days, so mine's reset itself this morning.
You have to do a certain amount to start with, to cover the amount of steps you'd do in a day normally (mine's about 6000) and then every 1900 or so steps after that in the day will earn me an activity point.
I had about 500 left to earn last night before earning another point, and the boy went in the shower, so I stuck a body combat song on and raved. Got my point though haha.

Just a quick update to let you all know I lost another 2.5lbs this week, despite that massive dinner Saturday night haha.
Also, I said to a friend at the meeting that it was my birthday in 5 weeks and that I am having that gold envelope that marks hitting your goal weight.
So she announced it to the leader and the whole meeting haha.
Better keep on track now. But the 2.5lbs loss is on track to getting it. Need to lose 11lbs in 5 weeks, that's just over 2lbs a week. I can do that.

Thanks guys.
I'm really enjoying the change in my usual from 2lbs to 2.5lbs.
The extra half a pound isn't much, but it's it means I can lose 10lbs in 4 weeks instead of 5.
Just glad that burger didn't show up on the scales haha.
I'm getting so close to goal now.
I'm so excited.
Just worry that I'm gonna slow down or plateau before hitting goal and not getting to goal for my birthday.
But ah well... it'll happen when it happens.
Also, Serena, so excited you bought Fluff.
It's amazing.
And if you don't like it, send it my way =D
I eat it straight from the jar.
Put it on the scales, set the scales to 0 and then spoon it out into my mouth until the scales say minus whatever grams I'm having.

So... Today.
Late getting up.
The boy had run out of weetabix so no breakfast. Thankfully though, Thursday is my late start day and therefore I had time to go home and get breakfast before going to the gym.
Gym went fine, then onto meeting where, as I mentioned earlier, I lost 2.5lbs and hit my 1.5stone lost. My third silver 7.
Then it got announced to the group that I will be at goal in 5 weeks time for my birthday.
Then to work, where I was busy all day but didn't really feel like I'd done much, then straight home to Zumba.
After Zumba, I chilled at mine for about half an hour. I was gonna repeat last night's dinner of tortilla pizza with chicken, onion & peppers, but the boy was finished at the gym earlier than expected, so decided to have a ready meal from his freezer.
Then on the way to his, I really fancied his BBQ chicken. He agreed to cook me it.
So we walked to tesco (another 2 activity points earned walking there and back) to get some chicken and in the reduced section was a bag of alfresco salad for 10p.
That decided my dinner for me - was gonna have BBQ chicken salad.
Got back and checked the points.
2 chicken breasts (8pp), 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce (1pp) and alfresco salad (0pp).
Awesome dinner for 9pp.
Wanna see it?!
Course you do.
Here you are.
I also got 2 fruit packs for 14p and 20p.
Just about to have those for dessert.
I've got 6pp left.
Bought some gold biscuits (you lot got me craving them haha), so might have that to finish the night off.
Here's to tomorrow.

Morning Sweetie, your dinner looks really yummy even tho I don't eat Chicken! Loving your Bargains too! I saw the Gold Bars in Asda and remembered the chat lol, I decided on a pack of Walnut Whips instead lol. X
I'm On my way (after Sunday!) x
My god that gold bar and the mini party rings I just had were amazing.
Proper enjoyed them.
I ate them instead of the cheesecake I've got in the freezer because apparently that's classed as a cake
Night guys
Glad u enjoyed them Sweetie, I don't eat Party Rings as they aren't suitable for veggies but I love the pretty colours!
Here's to Friday and Day 5 of the Challenge! X

Today today today.
Wasn't quite so reluctant to get out of bed this morning, but was still tired.
Got down the gym and was aching like mad.
Really didn't enjoy the workout this morning, but I did it.
Just 1 Zumba class tomorrow and that's my working out done until Monday evening at Aquafit.
Was hoping to be at work for 9:30, but got there about 20 to 10 because I forgot to pack my sports bra last night, so had to go home before going to the gym to get it. Silly billy.
And then, because I was aching so much, I took more time in between activities to catch my breath.
I could've started at 9:45, but decided just to chill for 20 minutes before starting work.
Day was ok.
Same as most of the others really - putting out stock, pricing items, until I get a call to the manager's office
So I go in and the manager and the deputy manager are in there and want to have a chat with me, see how I've been getting on, how I'm finding working there, what I've learnt etc.
Almost like a mini interview.
The manager tells me that he's calling all the jobcentre work experience people in, to have a little chat with them and get to know them, in case he's got any hours available.
He told me he's had good feedback from his staff about me, and if he's got any hours, then I'll know by the end of the day.
I also told him that if it was ok with the jobcentre and with him, after my work experience finishes next friday, if there's no jobs available, I'd like to extend my work experience as I've been enjoying having a routine again.
So I spend the rest of the afternoon wondering, talking to other members of staff, hearing their views, and got told by my department supervisor that if there's a job going, I'm top of the list, but I didn't hear it from him.
So, at 3pm, an hour before finishing, myself and the other work experience girl that finishes next friday (the final WE person is a boy who's still got 3 weeks left), get called to the manager's office again, however the other girl had already finished for the day (but somehow someone got hold of her and she came back).
I was told that I had made an impact, had impressed the staff and that they were offering me a 20 hour contract starting Monday 24th June!
Yay!!!
I've got a job!!
arty0011:
So I'm to finish my work experience as I would've done this week coming, and will be receiving my rota within next week, ready for the following Monday.
It's a bit bittersweet though, as I've got tickets to Alton Towers on the 24th, and now can't go.
Luckily they were freebies from The Sun, so it's not costing me anything to miss out, but I'm a bit gutted.
However, now I've got a job, I'll be able to afford to go at some other time (using a 2for1 of course - I ain't paying full price when I don't need to haha).
It's my friend's birthday that day as well, and he managed to get the time off work and was going to tag along with me (I hadn't actually found anyone to come with me yet cuz they're all working, but it just seems that I wasn't supposed to find someone to come with me, because now I can't go - the greater plans of the universe).
So now I'm thinking of just giving my friend the tickets so he can go with someone and enjoy himself.
My biggest concern atm is how it's going to change my routine.
At the moment, I start once I've finished at the gym, and make sure I'm finished in time for classes.
However, they'll be telling me when to work when I officially start.
It's only 4 hours a day over 5 days of the week, so going to the gym shouldn't be too hard, however I may end up missing classes.
And that's what worries me.
I've announced I'm going to be at goal in 5 weeks, but if the amount of exercise I do goes down, I'm worried the amount I lose will as well.
So thinking I'm gonna have to either getting in extra exercise by walking or cycling, or try different classes during the hours that I'm not working.
I don't think it would be wise to do my gym workout twice in one day though.
But we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
So I've had a brill day.
I can go to the jobcentre on Tuesday and tell them I don't need their money anymore.
It's really weird - I applied for a job in this shop a whole year ago when they were opening it up.
Got the interview and was told there was a good chance of getting a position, however it didn't work out.
Now, a year later, I'm working there anyway.
Madness haha.
Went shopping at Morrisons, then headed to Tesco (they're quite close) and got a whole bunch of reductions such as 4 bags of bananas for 20 something pence each (they were based on weight), 2 punnets of grapes for 31p each, mum got mushrooms for 25p and a whole bunch of stuff.
Got home and just had my pizza and sweet potato chunks again.
Tonight I stuck them under the grill instead of in the mickey and I left the pizza in til it was a bit burnt (rubbish cook over here), however the wrap had gone all crispy and it tasted amazing.
I can't get enough of them.
I've got 4 points left.
Thinking of having some ice cream and some fluff.
Hope you've all had a good day too.
Signing out!

Tonight has been weird.
Have done absolutely nothing since about half 8.
I've been on the go all day every day all week, that I was looking forward to sitting, chilling and doing nothing tonight.
But it's just so weird not doing anything.
I think I just prefer to be busy and doing something.
Need to make a crazy sized to-do list sometime over the weekend.
Stuff I need to do this weekend, stuff I need to do in the next few weeks and stuff I need & want to do in life.
Just haven't had the time to do anything at weekends cuz been on the go constantly then as well.
But haven't really got any plans set in stone atm (although that's a little irritating - I like knowing what I'm doing, but not too far in advance because I'll just forget anyway haha).
Think I'm gonna head to bed.
Get a bit of an early night, ready for Zumba in the morning.
Made it through Day 5 - finished off the day with a raspberry mousse ice cream and some fluff.
