This year has been a bit awful really. I got off to a pretty good start with the dieting side of things and really do feel like Slimming World is absolutely the right diet choice for me. I know that it works, I've seen excellent results with it. I find it easy to stick to but I allow myself to turn away from choices which ultimately do make me feel happier. On Boxing Day I sat down and decided that there wasn't going to be any of the new year resolution nonsense but there is going to be monthly planning.
At the end of every month I will spend a Sunday morning evaluating the previous month. I'm chosing things which are acheivable. For example...
JANUARY
I will work my hours at least 3 times per week
I will exercise 3 times per week
I will meal plan every week
There will be no additional expenditure beyond the budget unless an emergency
No diet coke
The diet coke rule will be bloody hard to stick to but I will try. I will see what I can acheive by making present and engaged choices. However there is a little hiccup in the plan already in that I have come down with the most evil cold which has immediately gone to sit straight on my chest. It's a bit frustrating because it means that my gym induction booked for tomorrow afternoon may need to be cancelled and they won't be able to fit me in again until the end of the month but that still leaves me with my swimming and I can do that happily without worrying about extra support.
I really want the food and exercise things to work together now. I love being healthy. I really do, I love feeling more on top of things and able to be active so it's just lunacy that I let it go again and again. I'm doing this because I want to be healthy and I want to look after myself. I deserve better treatment from myself.
It begins now.
