Hey I am starting a paleo way of eating on Monday after researching it for a while. Also doing kettlebells. I don't want to go by weight so my goal for xmas is to drop two dress sizes, I am currently an 18 so would love to be in 14s for xmas.

Heyy good luck for Monday! Are you going to keep a diary on here? That's a good idea going on dress size instead of what the scales say.
Im sure you'll achieve your christmas goal easy xx

Well this didn't start today as I decided to walk 3 miles into town first thing to get my hair cut.
But I have done my ironing and got dinner ready for when I get back from work to just put in the oven.

Update:

well, last week I was totally unorganised, didnt do a proper food shop and planning, well what planning? lol
one small blip and lesson learnt, fridge is full of goooood food and meal plan is done for the week, might start a
rotating meal plan (gosh that would be soooo organised lol), I havent slipped up with my packed lunches at all though
so happy with that, even making them on the morning if I cant be bothered to do them the night before.

ahem definitely been keeping up with my social goal lol looking forward to not going out for a few weeks now

I've been doing really well with my swear-less policy lol tbh its only certain friends who bring that side out but glad to be
getting out of the habit as dont want it slipping out when I'm in clinical practice

Think I've been quite organised with uni work and whatnot, not been rushing to finish in time for deadlines (yet, touch wood n all that!)
trying to stress-less about work and deadlines, easier said than done but getting there!

Need to finish reading the non uni book I'd started reading so going to make a concerted effort to do that this week!

I am trying to fit my yoga in, got three sessions in my diary for this week coming, so hopefully will get there, meditation wise I am trying to
get back into this even if its only 5 mins.

Health wise well, I've eaten not so great this last week and it has affected my health, so big reminder of why I'm eating this way and to stick to it!

Not getting weighed til I break up from uni so dont know on the weight loss front as yet!
