On/off


I wish the flipping weather would make it's mind up!!  As soon I switch the heating completely off the temperature drops and the house is cold.  So I switch it back on again.  And repeat several times through April and May! I really can't stand being cold.  OH laughs at me as I sit on the sofa at night wearing loads of layers and a blanket wrapped round me.  To be fair I did grow up in a house where my dad also doesn't like being cold (my Lovely Mum is snorting with laughter reading this!!) although he refuses to even put a jumper on!!

Thanks for all the supportive comments on my last post.  It seems like a lot of people are recognising that their life is unbalanced.  I'm pretty sure it was Oprah (I'm a big Oprah fan!) who said that women can have it all, just not at the same time.  Even though I live on my own it feels sometimes that I don't have time to myself to do what I want instead of what I have to do.  But I'll keep working on it.

I noticed today that I have 100 followers now!  Thank you 💗 I don't publicise or promote my blog anywhere so it means a lot to me that you're all reading my stuff and commenting. I'm not writing as much as I want to but I am still living as frugally as I can while doing my Body Coach Plan (must update my spending details on the sidebar!)  So far I've lost half a stone and 14 inches but most importantly I feel healthier and fitter.  The challenge will be what happens once the 90 days are over.  Can I stick to the principles on a budget?   My bank balance is VERY low so I'll need to make it work somehow.

      Thanks. Pulled on a pair of jeans this morning and was thrilled I didn't have a muffin top!!

    It's the same here with the heating. I can't stand being cold and although I'm not wasteful with it I will switch it on if I feel the need.
    Congratulations on the weight loss and to feeling healthier. X

      The feeling healthier is the most important part :-)

    Me too. It was so chilly yesterday morning and raining too, so on it went to warm up the house a bit. I'm very grateful for my heating!
    The weight loss is great and yes, you can eat well and healthily on a budget. I do.

      Totally agree but it takes planning. And I've really not been good at planning my food lately!!

    Although our central heating is now off, the log burner has been lit on quite a few occasions and I find myself stood very close to the Aga while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil 😉

    I'm also glad of the dogs cuddling up on the sofa while I watch tv or read, they are like two hot water bottles.
