Get My Head in the Game

The whole thing about weight loss and healthy living is that it's a mental thing....and when I say that I do mean 100% totally a mental thing. If you head isn't in it then nothing is going to work. As I said yesterday for me everyday is a mental fight to get my head and thoughts in the right place to allow me to have a successful day. At the moment I am not there. I should be ..but I am not. I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed with the fact that I want to 26lbs...and frustrated that 5 of those lbs I have already lost once! Not only do I want to lose the weight I want to tone up and focus on my health... So here is my plan...so I have it down in front of me and I can visualize what I need to do to achieve my goal to become a healthy and better me... 

1) Make sure I record what I eat every day

2) Make sure I stay in my calorie limit 

3) Don't go over calories with "empty calories"

4) Go to the gym every morning during the week

5) Ensure my 10000 step mark every day apart from my restday
