My Plan ...
... so this is my idea ..... I am not saying it is going to work but I am going to give it a try ..... I am going to set myself goals (some based on things I need to improve and others that are things I am doing but need to be made into a habit!) and keep on repeating them until they get ingrained in my tiny little head!
1) eat breakfast - a big one for me - I never ever eat breakfast and I should. Everyone tells me that this is what I should be doing and I don't. I am not a breakfast person but I am going to become one! Even if it is just fruit I am going to do this.
2) I am not going to weigh myself! I can't keep on having my moods dictated by the damn stupid blasted annoying numbers. My scales are dicky old dial ones so not always accurate but my whole day still seems to revolve around them. I don't know when I am going to weigh myself again (cos really I should be - I am trying something new so do need to see if I am getting results) - I am just going to try to hold out for as long as possible. There are other ways of judging my weight - measurements, how big my clothes are and just how I feel. Deep breath ... be brave ... count to 10 .... I can do this one!
3) exercise every day - min of 1 hour walking each day - I gradually want to build this up to 1 hour jogging ever day so have to start (again) mixing jogging with walking.
4) go back to the gym - I have been slack on this one since being sick. I need to get back into it - I enjoy it so much and love the feeling that I am toning my body. It is so nice to be doing something just for me! My goal is to go during my lunch hour twice a week - Wednesday and Fridays! (excluding tomorrow cos I am still coughing like ... a ... coughing thing!)
5) I am going to track everything I eat but not count points. I am going to get diligent and write down beside what I am eating why I am actually eating it - boredom, hunger, stressed, pissed off, drunk :o) This will hopefully make me aware of why I am eating and when - once I have this sussed out I will hopefully be able to control what I eating at certain times of the day.
6) drink water - not so difficult on during the weekdays but seemingly impossible during the weekend. I don't know why this is but may have something to do with having diet coke in the fridge at home. Goal - drink two pump bottles of water per day ... which leads me on to the next one ...
7) my other addiction ... (aside from scales and housework (and my beloved BF!)) ... diet coke ..... NO!!!!!!!!! actually yes! I am going to try and give up diet coke .. I drink far to much ... how much! Way to much! It is bad for me. I should be drinking water and really I am wasting far to much money on the damn stuff! I want to save for my 69kg shopping spree!
8) eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day whether they are frozen, canned, fresh (or mouldy ... eeeeewwwwwwwwwhhhh). I need to start having better food choices. I found with points plan I could eat the right amount of points but what I was actually eating was appalling.
9) eat only 3 meals per day - some might argue and say that is bad for me, that I should be snacking between times but I don't want to - I find one snack leads to another ... to another ... to another. 3 balanced meals per day - I am also going to use a smaller plate for my main meal to see if that will make a difference to my weight.
10) be positive - each day in my blog I am going to list one thing that I do now that I didn't do at 95kgs! I want to not only focus on how far I have to go but how far I have come.
This looks good .. this looks achievable and looks like something I can manage ... but is still going to be a challenge. I have decided I will give myself 20c for each goal I achieve each day - 50c is too much really (if I achieve all goals each day) .... this I will put into a cow moneybox I have at home and, as I said earlier, I will spend it when I have reached 69kgs! I can't wait ......
I am off to bed now. I am feeling so positive about tomorrow. I can do this ....... I so bloody can do this!
catch yas tomorrow ... the first day of my 10 step programme! :o)

Good luck - enjoyed reading your goals! We should maybe all take a leaf out of your book! Best of luck. I also find the scales influence me but find it really hard not to weigh in.
I love the idea of listing positive things each day in your journal, sometimes it can be the thing that turns a bad day into a good day. I hear you on the diet coke thing. I used to drink a lot of it, but I really worry about the phenylalaline crap, and also apparently the artificial sugar (pheylalaline) actually causes your body to hold onto the fat - can't remember the official reason for that, but worth thinking about.
Hope you have a great weekend!
