Re-focussing

Some of my thoughts...

1. I'm going to bloody finish my pre-season tasks... Yes, it's true, I have not completed them. I've done 1-5 & 8, and haven't finished 6 & 7.  Well surprise surprise, this is where I have fallen over... not being sufficiently organised & diarised, and having tempting food in the house.  Wholemeal crumpets, and all-fruit jam - not so bad, except when too much is consumed over my calorie limit... but the danish butter and Milo has got to go!  If my husband wants the danish butter, it can go in the 2nd fridge - out of my sight!

2. I'm going to STICK to my schedule, and make sure I've allowed time to prepare my meals.

3. I will not catastrophize.  OK.. so I slipped.. it is NOT the end of the world, and this is NO reason to go on an all-you-can-eat binge. There are 7 whole weeks left, and my goals are still very achievable. And even then, I will continue my workouts and 1200 calorie limit through December, January and the rest of my life!

4. Make my workout sessions NON-NEGOTIABLE... the dishes can wait, the folding can wait, my dear husband can even wait! If slow traffic means I miss a gym class, I'll go home and get straight on the treadmill.

5. I need to get excited again, I don't want to be flat/sad, I want to be jumping/bubbling/smiling! I'm behind on watching the videos, am currently half-way through the Week 4 mindset lesson. So I will catch up on those during our travel time tomorrow.

6. This week I will create a 'vision board' for my future healthy lifestyle. This is a bit similar to the photo montage task.

7. I have to stop being a night-owl, it really wrecks the next day. Especially when my 17mo daughter decides to wake during the night. I need to get up & go to bed at the same time each day, and get more quality sleep.

8. I'm going to get out of my comfort zone... put myself out there. Get a metaphorical slap in the face... in a good way! This week I'm going to join in with my local 12wbt workout session (Sat morning I believe - not tomorrow though), and do a spin or yoga class (or both!). I've never done either class, but am keen to have a go :)

9. Do my 2nd fitness test. Yes, it's late, but I need to see some improvement! I use a school oval, so I will do that on Saturday (next week).

10. I'm going to print out my goals and post them on the fridge, mirrors & in my diary.

Phew!  That's a pretty good start  :)
