Hi!

I have a wedding to go to in 8 weeks time from tomorrow so I am going to start a mission tomorrow. I've tried a few times this year and failed every time so maybe being accountable will help me...


So My plan is to post each evening with plans for the following day and how I went with my goals for that day. Each of my daily posts will be broken down into:
Exercise Goal
Food Goal
Me Time Goal

I think the me time goal is important because I have been feeling really deprived recently of time, money, clothes etc so have compensated with food. My making Me time a goal every day I should feel better about everything (I hope). I am also hoping that by taking a day by day approach I won't get distracted by the distance of my goals. Day by day at this stage - little steps....

Feel free to join me! Challenge starts tomorrow!

you've done well!!

Goals day1:
eating: the packet of crisped called me and I only managed 4 glasses of water.
exercise: to knackered by the time I went to bed, but did a lot around the garden
metime: had a looooong shower instead, couldn't be bothered cleaning the bath.

Today's goals - day2:
eating: make healthy choices, 5 glasses of water. (at least the packet of crisps are gone )
exercise: exercycle while DS is in bed
metime: decided to rather do - domestic goddess wannabee goal cause I seriously lack motivation in doing anything in the house lately and it might become a health risk, so domestic goddess: clean bathroom (and have nice bath tonight),kids room and vacuum.

Right new day: and no junkfood!!

Uh oh! Off the rails here! Stayed home with kids yesterday so didn't get to do my training session then forgot my gear today!!! Currently enjoying wine and crackers...

Back on the wagon tomorrow I think....

Same here!! Not that I really got on the wagon I think the biggest challenge for me this weekend would be to stay away from cheese, crackers, wine and then finally CRACKLING!

I think I'll give myself off the weekend and start up again on Monday - otherwise I'll just hate myself!
