Thursday Thirteen - 20 July 2006
Thirteen Things I am up to right now
- Exercise - Keeping the diet fitness thing going, yesterday though I had to go out at 6.30am to find a coolish time.
- The diet regime - Cheating less and only drinking at the weekend has got to be part of the recipe for success, weigh in on Saturday well tell me if I am doing enough.
- Getting to work more quickly - the schools have been gradually breaking up for the holidays, by next week more people should be off on holiday too.
- Thinking about my essay - even reading and making a few notes, but still not made a great deal of progress. I need to take myself in hand on this!
- Watering the garden with a watering can - we have a hose pipe ban, it is a real pain!
- Reading up on my guide book to Barcelona, less than 2 weeks to go!
- Getting my daily fix of Big Brother - mad I know, but what can you do?
- Buying my vegetables and salad stuff from a local farmers market - I must admit that I had forgotten what vegetables could taste like.
- Buying my meat from the butcher - Time the supermarket got less money from me, and we had better quality food. Plus a lot of it is cheaper too.
- Putting off the housework due to the heat - but I guess it will have to be done soon, or else we will be living in a health hazard!
- Putting off the weeding (as above) - will need to do something at the weekend.
- Not blogging - have been bad lately, still 2 postings in 2 days isn’t too bad.
- Trying not to think about the mess that is happening at work- another chief executive briefing next week; lets hope for good news for once!

Keeping up with dieting and exercising is a big job! (One that I have not gotten around too yet)
Great list–mine is up!

I can relate with the diet routine. I can do it, but it’s just making myself do it. Great TT!
Take care!

This is me, jealous that you’re going to Barcelona. There’s not enough vacation time in the world for me to get everywhere I want to go.

I’ve got a great butcher nearby. It’s amazing what a difference it makes!

Many thanks for the comments, I am just hoping I can keep the diet going past the holiday, so that by Christmas I am a bit more like the size I want to be!
You are so right Carmen, there just isn’t enough time to see all the places we would like to get to. I am really excited about Barcelona - does it show?
I was certainly surprised Armywife, I am not talking a lot cheaper, but for the quality a bit of saving is brilliant.

I am dieting myself and it’s been harder after my fourth baby. So far I’m lost 8 lbs (since I’ve been trying) but I still have 8 more to go. Happy dieting! Wink..wink!
