Day 17

I woke up flatter than the earth (check the science people!) and dragged myself into work not feeling it. What I was feeling was sorry for myself and unmotivated. So i snapped myself out of it. You can usually choose your mood, so I decided to go with driven and productive. I have never had a work day fly by so fast. I nearly missed lunch, which today was a coffee since I was fasting and trying to remain under 400 calories. Came home, lay about, then dragged myself onto the gym treadmill to hit my calorie goal. Calories consumed: 345 Calories burned: 1050 Savings: $40

Day 16

I slept in until 11 am today. Paying for the previous day. 7 beers doesn't sound like a lot to me nowadays but as I approach 40 I suppose my body thinks it is plenty.... Calories consumed 1600: I added 4 beers from last night to todays total to try to pay for them after the fact. Calories burned: 1000 Cash saved $20

Day 15

Totally forgot to post about this day. Normal day, except for the 7 beers..... meep

Day 14

Worked out the legs today, and as I write this I find that they are definitely seizing up. The next 2 days should be sheer and unadulterated agony. Spent the day at home working, bashing my head against something I couldn't make work. I was at the movies with my friend Gloria and a brainwave sort set in so I will bash against it again this weekend. Calories consumed: 1599 (meep) Calories burned: 1100 Discretionary funds: $90

Day 13

Well I smashed it today. And by that, I mean I ate so much I ended up with only 3 calories to spare, but also smashed way past my 1000 calories burned. Much better day today in terms of my head. Also paid off the rest of my afterpay because I wanted to get rid of it, so used some of my discretionary budget wisely. Calories consumed: 1597 Calories burned: 1509 Discretionary budget: $120

Day 12

I hit all my goals, but today still sucked. I got a weird news update about someone (no, i'm not saying who) around lunchtime, and that put me in a pretty terrible mood. I got my work done, but I was super unpleasant the whole time. I am home and over it now, but clearly I need to express my emotions better. Anyhooo..... Calories consumed: 1312 Calories burned: 1000 Money saved: $140

Day 11

Well I wasn't sick this day, so snaps for me! This is the last day before payday, and I have decided to be a little more open with money for this challenge. I was being too harsh with $20 a day, so I will change it up slightly to add a $100 bump on each payday, making my entertainment budget $380 per fortnight instead :) Savings: $20 Calories consumed: 1250 Calories burned: 1000
