Yep, I signed up in hubby's name (did ask him first!), so was wondering if I could get away with signing up again in my name for another free trial? Sssssh - don't tell anyone! Hmmm to the budget - not paying much off the credit card this month, after going out so much over the hols, but we decided we were going to enjoy ourselves a bit (bit like you were saying on your diary about having the extra money come in), so will now have to watch ourselves until Christmas and pay off as much as we can.

The bagel was absolutely delicious. Got the blueberries on special offer from Lidl's and they went so well with the bagel.
 
I know the TV and media say we are a nation that is getting fatter and lazier, but something yesterday really made me think. We drove to Lidl's for a few bits and pieces. It's located just off a roundabout in the middle of a housing estate. There are two small parades of smaller shops on the edge of the roundabout - either side of one of the approach roads. I wanted to buy the new WW mag, and I vaguely remembered there was a newsagents in one of the parade of shops. Saw it on the left hand side and went in, but they didn't have the mag. Came out, and something made me look over to the other parade of shops, where there was another newsagents.

Now, in this financial climate, I assume it must be worth their while to both be open, so that means there are two newsagents, one either side of the road/roundabout. You only have to walk about 100 yds, and the road has a pedestrian crossing right on the roundabout, so you don't even have to go out of your way to cross the road. Are we really so lazy as a nation now, that people won't walk 100 yds to a newsagents? As I say, they must be getting business and it must be worth their while to be open... so do half the estate go to one, and the other half to the other, because they won't walk a few yards?

PS - I crossed over and got the mag!

Haha..maybe you could with Netfilx,worth a go I guess!
Yes although we have to be sensible we have to live a little as well so to go out and enjoy your holiday was the right thing to do..life is too short after all!
 
I've also brought the cinnamon and raisin bagels,got them today..and the WW mag!
I've seen plenty of people over the years drive 'down the road' to a shop so not much surprises me with laziness!

APs for the week so far - only 6 this week! Will see what the scales bring on Friday, but I am very aware that I have become a bit lazy with my food - not really got back into cooking mode, since the hols. I reckon I got a bit too used to going out for something to eat and someone else doing the cooking! Silly really, because I do enjoy cooking. I need to tighten up this coming week, and get in the kitchen a bit more. Also been low on the exercise this week, so I need to get back into the swing of that too... musn't let it slide.
 
I cannot believe that I have been on the web since six o'clock this morning! Apart from that I have done nothing all day, except make green tea and eat breakfast and lunch! I have found and downloaded the podcasts for the Couch to 5k though, because I've been inspired by Nessa to give it a try! I've also researched and ordered my sports bra. Hubby should be home soon and we're going out to look for some new trainers, and will need a set of jogging bottoms because the leggings I use for exercising have holes in them! :eek:

Am sure you will soon get back into cooking,does take time to get back into routine so don't worry and sounds like you are getting ready to do more exercise anyhow,well done :0)
 
Yay at you getting prepared for C25K I need to do day 2 soon aiming for Friday xx
 
.... I have been on the web since six o'clock this morning! ...
Oooh! Naughty girl! .. :D
Nice to have an easy day anyway isn't it?

LOL! Yes I was a very naughty girl! Working tomorrow, so I will admit I did enjoy a day of doing 'nothing.'

Yes, I think now the school term has started properly I think I'll soon get back into a routine. To be honest I've become a bit lazy in the kitchen over the holidays, but I know once I get back into cooking mode I'll be OK.

I shall have to give these bagels a go! :) Good luck with C25K, may join you on the mission, hmm :)

I'm sure you'll get used to cooking for yourself in no time at all :) Mcdonalds, yum! Been ages since i've treated myself to fast food tbh!


I will of course report in with my C25K progress (determined it is not going to be 'lack of progress!') Shamefacedly have to admit that after spending four hours trawling round the shops late afternoon and early evening for running trainers, jogging bottoms, sports socks and more, we had another McDonald's. Two in one week, well worse than that - two in two days! I'm not sure I have ever done that before. It's all within my points, but I still don't feel I deserve to lose any weight this week. As I said to Daisy, I need to get myself back in gear now, because I have that '13 stone something' in mind for Christmas, or for my birthday at the end of January.

Yay at you getting prepared for C25K I need to do day 2 soon aiming for Friday xx

Good luck with day 2. I am ready to go apart from the bra! Ordered one from a site called 'bounce-busters!' :D We went out this afternoon and got my running trainers from the local sportswear shop, which by luck was having a sale, (pink and grey Nike - very snazzy), two pairs of jogging bottoms, a hoodie and sports socks for me. Hubby is going to do it with me as he says he needs to do something because he is not cycling so much now. Two pairs of jogging bottoms and some socks for him then! It's pretty handy because it means we can go on the local bridlepath/footpath, whereas if I was going by myself I probably would have stuck to the roads round the town. Also picked up the Just Dance 1 and 2 from PC World at a good price. Really glad it is my payday next week now! All set to exercise my butt off (and several other bits!) over the coming weeks!
