Hello, we’re nearly at the end of the month! It’s been a better week than last but I’m not feeling that I’ve knocked it out of the park with these goals. I’m more organised at home which has helped but I’ve also been tired and had a short (less than 5 hours) migraine this week which has made me feel slow and not in control.
Food
1) Coffee and alcohol, no more than 3 times a week.
12 out of 12 for the coffee. 11 out of 12 for the alcohol – drinks with John on Monday but that was ok because I didn’t drink on Sunday. However on Tuesday night, I did have a gin and tonic.
2) Take my lunch to work
9 out of 11. I got organised over the weekend and knew what I was eating each day so I just had to make sure it was packed and taken into work.
Self care
3) No computer after 9pm on a school night (Sun to Thurs).
14 out of 15. I’ve been busy and it’s been easy.
4) Moisturiser and general maintenance.
23 out of 23. Happens everyday.
Home
5) Paint the living room.
This has been put back a month or two.
6) Dust under the bed, find out what’s underneath it.
Done and done. What was under the bed was mostly dust, hairpins and tissues. I did find 7p though – riches indeed!
Exercise
7) Gym twice a week. Again this is one of my 2013 goals, so time to be dedicated about it. Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime, no messing about, no being a brat. Also I have a 5km booked in June so will need to start training properly in March, this is a good run up!
1 of 6. I didn’t get there, it’s not the week for gym going, I’ve been tired and lazy.
8) Three times a week I will do the set of exercises below three times. I think that Monday, Wednesday and Saturday might work quite well! I won’t enjoy it but I am going to do it.
20 squats /12 sit ups/12 press ups/1 minute plank
6 of 9. I’ve done them and I was right I don’t like them but it certainly wakes me up in the morning!
