Well here I am on the first day of my 13 week challenge to lose weight and feel healthier with an initial target of losing 10lbs in time for Christmas. Now i know that is a modest target but TBH I think better to set a low target and exceed it than a high one and not make it. I want success not failure, success will spur me on, failure will make me, well, fail!
So I have nice new Tigger notebook, set up with todays date and so far I have had my normal start to the day which is a cup of tea and 2 ginger biscuits. I intend to have an apple mid morning and make a big vat of home made soup, which will probably be my lunches for the next few days. Quite handy the weather turning colder, as I much prefer hot, tasty, healhty soups to cold salady type meals.
Haven't decided what's for dinner tonight but it will definately include lots of veggies and be something the whole family can enjoy. I can't be doing with lots of different meals for everyone!
I am also going to drink more (not wine you naughty people!), I am very lazy about drinking and I note what Mike says about water; he truly believes that people struggle to lose weight if they do not drink enough. So I will be pushing myself on that one.
Finally I feel calm and confident, is it because my new plan makes sense? Yes. Is it because I have had success in the past doing exactly this? Yes. Is it because the time feels right? Definately!
So, here I go then!
