Happy New Month

Happy New Month everybody! I love a new month as it's a time where you can have a fresh start, draw a line and re-focus if needed. I know alot of people set goals for the month and it got me thinking what are my goals for this month...? To be honest I am pretty happy with most things at the moment but as always there are a few thing I would like to work on... 

1) I would like to lose 5lbs this month... again I weighed in at 187..it's very frustrating for me especially as I am working out regularly and I am not seeing the scales go down (more on this later) I am tired of only losing 1 or 2 lbs a month...which is traditionally how much I lose. I would like to really do better.. I still have 26lbs to lose for this year to get me to 11 and half stone (161lbs) the only way I am going to achieve this is by losing just under 5lbs a month.. 

2) I would like to really get my eating under control... I am so much better than I was (believe me) but I still have things that I shouldn't and still eat secretly which I also shouldn't..I think like anything it's about getting the into the habit...recently I stopped eating in between meals and now I don't even think about snacking...so I just need  to break the habits. 

3)I would really like to drink less (again) this is very much a constant theme throughout my life but I really would like to try and not drink wine during the week..I'm drinking less than I used to but I want to bring it down further. 

4) This month I would like to try eating with the 5:2 plan. I know that in a sense it's a diet but for me I think it will really help getting my eating under control and help me take the power back from food... my problem at the moment is purely a case of eating too much, this way I will make sure I am under my weekly limit. I am planning on doing it on Tues and Thurs as these are the days I do my toning workouts and so don't use half as much energy and have noticed that on those 2 days I go over my reduced calorie limit..

5)I would like to continue my good work at the Gym...
