getting rid of 100lbs in a year.

Your way of saving is a really good idea, I think I'll give it a go:)
Hope Kaelan's had a good night and you manage to get to out and about with your boys X
 
Well sounds like you've had a good day! I've also had a good day ;-)

Yeah Tibbs it is a good idea to save isn't it?
 
Hi,

I was so busy yesterday didn't get chance to update my diary. I felt hungry all day yesterday, kept snacking but wasn't too bad as mainly fruit and on plan food.

I walked to do the school run this morning, it was really nice walking with my boys, tummy felt fine. its aching a little now but that's to be expected. haven't decided if I'm walking to pick him up yet.

I started Christmas shopping last night, I'm planning on doing it all online this year as shopping with the pushchair isn't appealing. I usually start much earlier than this but didn't want to with being pregnant. I feel really organised this year, I've downloaded an app on my phone to keep track of what I'm buying and budget etc. usually I keep buying as I forget what I already have.

Jenny, you need to become my financial adviser:D I started Christmas shopping super early and was feeling smug that it was all over with, but now more things are in the shops I have carried on buying..typical..the original budget I had (and did) is now out of the window, down the street and away round the corner:D X

We usually get our Christmas shopping done quite early but have barely done any this year. Hoping we'll have some left over from the re-mortgage when it comes through otherwise don't know how we'll afford it this year.

hope you have some left over. I save with Park for love to shop vouchers every year so that takes care of most the presents. how's the kitchen coming along? hope its finished now or almost there x x

haha Tibbs :) years ago I was terrible with money and had had a lot of debt. I paid off all my debt and then started saving for things instead of using credit cards, I'm a little obsessed with saving now lol. lol about where your budget ended up :) its great when you finish early, until you see something else to buy x x
 
Good morning,

I've had 3 hours sleep, my lovely little man wouldn't settle for hours. I feel so tired but cant sleep when the kids are at school unless my husband is at home, I really worry about not waking up and being late to collect them. I know Kaelan will only sleep for a couple of hours and he'd wake me but I just cant switch off.

I'm thinking of changing my goal date to August only a few weeks early. last night we decided we're going away in August, not sure where to yet. the original plan was to go away in October when Kaelan turns 1 in the hope that he'd be walking but now we're going in August, it would be lovely to be at goal when we go away. I'm so excited.

walked to drop my son at school again today. he's such a friendly little boy, he says hello to every person we see, if they have the same uniform as my daughters, he says 'hello Merika's friend' lol. Merika is my oldest, he must think she's friends with every child at school :)

off to do some tidying/cleaning while Kaelan is asleep and then look at holidays.

We've done that in the past but more recently have just spread the cost by buying some things fairly early. It will be okay. Worse case we will put it on the credit card to give us a little more time to pay it all. I'm just concerned as we also have an expensive holiday to pay off.

Kitchen is coming along nicely, we have the floor going in today. We had a surveyor round today too... I'm hoping the fact that the kitchen was still being done won't effect the value they give the house :/ aghh this is all very stressful. There's just a couple of bits that hadn't come in like a cupboard door and a panel, but once they're all in the guy said it's only a couple of hours job and he'll be done.


Oooo have fun looking at holidays, looking forward to hearing where you end up going :) I'm sure you'll be at target for then.

thx, it will be amazing to go on holiday feeling good about my weight. still no idea where we're going, only place I've said no to is Crete, we've been there too many times as hubby loves it, time for a change. where are you going?

hopefully your kitchen will be finished today :) bet you cant wait xx
 
weigh in tomorrow, I haven't weighed myself for a couple of days so no idea how I'm doing. this morning I realised that I've hardly had any fruit this week. need to up it again. really hoping for 2lbs off but as long as its a loss I'll be happy as going in the right direction.
my friend is excited about joining, she keeps texting me questions about it :)

energy is up this morning so I'm going to tackle the housework while Kaelan is sleeping.

have a good day x x
 
We're going on a cruise around the Baltics, I can't wait.

Kitchen won't be finished until at least Saturday maybe next Saturday as they're waiting for parts to come in. It's back in a working condition though so that's something :)

Good luck on your loss
