Must try harder!

Today I had to go to town as I needed to get some new jeans.  My jeans have gone Awol!. I have either donated them to charity by mistake or ironed them & they have gone in with one of the customers ironing!???.  I only had the one pair. Luckily I had a voucher for £12.00 for M&S, & found a pair of boot cut jeans for £12.50.  I did look in a few other shops for jeans. I really dislike shopping for jeans especially.  I got a size 14 and I did have to pull them in to do them up.  I decided then & there enough is enough. I must try harder to lose that stone.  I refuse to go up any further in weight & clothes size.

Day 1!
Brek -  Muesli & semi skimmed milk

Lunch - Wholemeal cheese & salad cream roll
              1 banana

Snack - A small bowl of celery & potato soup(made with wilting celery!, it was delicious)

Dinner- Mixed green salad & wholewheat pasta with tomato pesto & 2 x slices of garlic sausage

              Yoghurt

I weighed out 80grms of pasta which was a serving for one person!. On seeing it after it was cooked I can see where my portion size goes seriously wrong. Where I can with certain food I will weigh them out especially pasta.


Finance 
Managed to pop £100.00 in to the emergency fund last week. Emergency fund is now at £300.00.  Which I am pleased , after buying the bed.
I did  get alot of ironing work last week which was good. A few things sold on ebay but that will be going towards that water bill when it finally arrives.  Then I will set up a direct debit for the water bill.  Then anything made on ebay will go towards our £0.00 holiday fund ggrrhh! I have not got much left to sell on ebay anymore.

    I know how you feel. I have two pairs of H&M trousers which are (Takes a deep in take of breath and hold head in shame!) a size 16! AHHHHH.

    I must try harder other wise I will be the beach whale when we go away and I won't be happy. Running is happening, but I hate it with a passion and I refuse to pay £5 a pop for the exercise eclipses held locally. i think I will go back to swimming on a weekend as well as my own exercise videos.

    I am waiting until I see the specialist on Thursday and then see what he does with my medication,at the moment he keeps changing the dosage and it makes a difference of 5kilo either way,it i frustrating and hard to get keen,but I will try really hard after that visit.

    Good luck with the healthy eating. I too don't want to buy any more clothes and lose a bit of weight.

    Your emergency fund is looking good. Don't forget to change your dollarbar graph to £300!
