When I started this 15 days ago, I was sneaking to Starbucks and eating lovely sandwiches, I was going to the garage and buying sausage rolls, buying takeaways every night over the weekend and treating myself to sweets and chocolates during every solo trip to the shops.
Now these all mounted up in pounds and kilos, but they also ate a sizable chunk of my disposable income. Twice a week to Starbucks - €20, sausage rolls while at the garage €5, takeaways over the weekend €60, general random treats while at the shops €10-€15 a week.
I'm estimating that I will be saving at least €30 a week all because I am eating more healthily, which works out to €120 on a four week month and around about a whopping €1520 a year!!!!!
My walks today
Keeping things nice and steady, I am still busy but have a few gaps in my day so I went out for my two walks today.
Mindful Eating
This is something that I definitely have to work on, at dinner I tend to wolf down the food and sometimes (in fact most times) I couldn't even tell you what the food tasted like!
I forgot it yesterday at dinner, but this evening I took smaller bites, took my time chewing them and tried to actually taste what I was eating. The result was that I felt fuller and actually enjoyed my dinner.
As always, thanks to everyone who has supported me during this challenge, it is all very much appreciated.
Thanks to @ryivhnn for his creativity and generosity in giving me this, check out his excellent posts.
Keep up the good work!

Another good day. This is quickly becoming a habit :-)
And all that money you're saving can be spent on cool things.... like new shoes, or a hydration pack, or a race entry ;-)
Or.... whatever your wife tells you you want hehehe.
You are doing well. Just keep on going as you are. You're doing everything right and the results are starting to show already.

It is and to be honest I am enjoying the changes, I itty great to put itty on Steemit because it keeps me honest.
As for the money saved I think I'll think about doing a run before the end of the year and entering a race :-) Might even get me some of that runcoin!
Talking about keeping it honest, the scales dont lie and they will tell their own tale tomorrow....:-)

No, not so far for this.
Although I have a humourous and true story about going to Yoga to impress an old girlfriend and letting of a giant fart in the middle of a stretch...lets Just say the romance lasted as long as the yoga class ;-)
