ProPoints My September Goals

[Xcharlibobx]

Always do better when I write things down, so I'm making a public statement of what I want to achieve in September!! (And feel free to kick my butt if I misbehave )

I have just over 2 stone to target, I'm rubbish at staying on track past a week & I want this so much!!

So here are my September rules:
1) Hubby & I have agreed that we will not eat out or order take away (apart from our 3 days away for our wedding anniversary, but we will be sensible...!)
2) Only drink wine on one day of the week (not Fri & Sat!)
3) Go to the gym at least 2 times a week
4) Go for a half hour walk 3 times a week
4) Stay within my daily points & only use weeklies as an emergency (like wine & chocolate!)
5) Be truthful to myself about what I'm eating & log everything on the app
6) Learn to cook a new low pp dish!

I'm hoping to lose a 1lb a week... But I'm also hoping I might beat that if I can stick to it!! It's only a month, if I can do a whole month 100% & see results, I have no excuses next time I slip

Well last night I didn't order a curry!! I cooked one Very proud haha! I did however drink a bottle of wine & eat choccy, but all within points, I even have weeklies left at the moment.

Today I'm a little stuck - my parents are taking us to Nandos for lunch, but I've worked backwards - I have my chickeny goodness pps worked out & I've had a sensible brekkie, and I'm planning a light dinner without wine and maybe a nice walk!

Feeling positive, a whole day in

Just take each day as it comes and don't put loads of pressure on yourself :0)

Well I've done lots of walking today... Around Ikea! Haha This did however lead to me bumping into my best mate & ending up in Wagamama.

So about the eating out thing... Nandos yesterday

But I didn't have wine last night, just diet lemonade! And in a bid to make up for the naughtiness, I've invested in a lovely sports bra to get the running on track.

So far, so wonky but I have good intentions!!

Well as I usually use all my weeklies - I'm currently minus 2... Which I can work off in the gym happily! I'm intending to up my exercise this week so not too worried

Glad to see you are keeping positive about things and you've worked out a good plan for the week plus you have to live a little or it makes things harder to keep going!

If I don't stay positive I'll crack! Sometimes life gets in the way... But I'd rather take it slow & have fun than race to the finish & wonder what the point was

Yup plus it will make it part of life so hopefully something we can all stick with :0)

Well, so far this week has got worse... I've not felt great & been sleeping badly so I've just eaten awfully Definately in for a gain again this week & then I'm on holiday next week, which means eating out for every meal - not good I'm not going to give up, just keep counting & knowing why I'm not getting anywhere instead of blaming myself

You can always choose healthy options when eating out or what I did on hols was be good in the day and eat whatever some evenings :0) like take outs and pub meals :0) sorry to hear you haven't slept well,it's hard then as I have found in the past that ive wanted to eat more to keep going the next day!

It's been a real struggle these past few days - but I'm hoping the break next week will help reset my batteries & I'll be on top form when I get back! I'm so over my points it's mad, but I'm still counting everything!

I'm going to try to be good on hols... I know I can be hehe Lots of side salads will be in order
