Day 3 today and I have to say the vegan thing is easier than I expected! You may have to remind me of that in a week or two :0)
I have loads of posts to share about banking, ethical funds, pensions and US politics but this week is a manic work week averaging 11 hr days so by the time I get home my brain is mush! Hopefully I can get some more meaningful posts up at the weekend!
Daily Speed Walking session: 3/20 (I’m really enjoying my morning walks and hope by October I can add an evening walk into the mix as well)
Vegan Day: 3/30
No Spending: 2/20
Water 8 glasses, which means I met my daily goal!
For those who are interested I enjoyed a fruit smoothie for breakfast, cut up veggies with almond butter for lunch and a very substantial dinner of soy mince, mashed potato, broad beans & carrots! I also have enough food left to make my shopping last 10 days this week, £14.85 for 10 days of groceries is pretty good!
it is interesting that the vegan thing does get easier rather quickly. i am a part-time vegan (my husband is vegan, i am not) but eating his meals 2 x per day has completely changed my eating habits. i rarely eat meat anymore, perhaps once every 1-2 months i will order it at a restaurant. all the food we cook at home is vegan (not because he won’t allow it, it’s just easier that way) and i have learned to love it. me! a girl who had eggs for breakfast, chicken sandwich for lunch, and salad with cheese and chicken for dinner! i think my body feels much better on veg fare too.
You’re doing great and well done for stretching the shopping!!!
SO impressed with you! What a fab start to the month – especially when you’re working so hard and getting up at the crack of dawn to do your walks. At the moment I’m on 5-snooze lie ins…I can barely drag myself out of bed.
Keep up the good work!

I really enjoy the way you track things, it’s really motivating to read. I would love to read some of your vegan recipes as I want to start cutting down on meat for health reasons.
Looking forward to the ethical funds post as I’m reading up on saving/investing/etc and that’s the way I’m leaning as well.
I’m currently on a bit of a cleanse (it’s a 3 mo one I found online…not sure it’s doing what it’s supposed to, but I’ll finish it off and see how I feel) and then planning to go wheat/sugar/dairy free for a few months. I did that for a few weeks at the start of the year and it worked great for me.
And yay for fixed blog glitches!
So glad you are back online too!!
Congratulations for doing so great in September so far
I gave you an award on my blog, if you want to check it out
I’m glad you’re enjoying those morning walks! I bet it’s a great way to start the day
I’m looking forward to your posts this weekend!
Wow, you are doing incredibly well!! At least the longer hours means more money for you! Look forward to all the other scheduled posts you have planned!
I really enjoy reading this blog, been a source of inspiration for sure! Was slightly upset when I thought it was lost yesterday!!
Looking forward to your weekend posts.
neiman yes it is very strange, it’s become habit now and I never thought it would be that easy!

Canadiansaver – thanks, I’ll check it out!
Thanks apieceofwood, frugaldreamer, sharon rose, K2B2 I think what’s helping me keep going is knowing I can’t let all of you down!
