Day 48 – Still resting knee

Weight = 107.1 kgs

Steps = 12323

So today I woke up without an alarm about 5:30 and got up and did my morning weigh-in and I am back up a bit to 107.1 kgs again today as I had a fry up and chicken burger and chips yesterday again so its my own fault!

As my knee was still sore I decided to chill in bed for a bit and went down an investing rabbit hole and I have spent all morning signing up to trading 212 and adding money and buying my first months stocks too 🙂

After this month I am going to use the investing to invest some of the money that I wasted on deliveroo so I will invest £5 a day every day going forwards to see how I get on! My thinking is that for now it will mean that I can’t afford to buy takeout all the time so I will have to start cooking every day and start to stick to a budget going forwards.

To get a realistic figure for my budget I have also started keeping my monthly expense tracker so that next month I will go through how much I spent and make a budget from there and then keep doing it an keep updating the budget as I go!

I have also decided to actually go to the supermarket every evening and buy my food for the next day so that I don’t have too much food to waste in the house and also I get an evening walk out of it too 🙂

This month I have loads of food left over to eat up so I should spend less than I normally would but we will see I guess! I have set an initial budget of £50 a week and I am planning to start taking my food budget out in cash then I can make sure that I do not overspend and if I do I will have to live with the consequences at the end of the week!

This should save me about £600 a month that I was wasting on takeout and delivery charges so even with the £150 that I am investing a month I should be spending £450 a month less on food which should help me get my debt under control pretty quickly.

Next month I will start back on the carnivore diet but with eggs, cheese and fruit as well as meat as I felt so much better when I was on the carnivore diet last year. I am not sure if the budget will allow too much meat though but I can try it and maybe increase the budget if necessary I guess! It will definately be way less than the deliveroo diet has been costing so it will still be a win 🙂

Exercise wise I am going to rest the knee until next week then I will start back on the morning walks and rucking as well as start on the rollers and backwards walking too!

By the time that I got home from the track I was only on 4000 steps so I got my shorts on and then got the treadmill out and walked until I got to 12000 steps which took well over an hour but I got it done!

I finished the day on 12323 steps.
