    New week, new start!

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks outside meals (I mean none - don't be influenced by colleagues who want me to eat so they can feel less guilty about their own eating!)
    - Stay within calories
    - Exercise class after work

    - 30 + minute lunch break
    - Don't allow myself to get upset by report issue - work with colleagues to find a solution
    - Equally, don't spend all day finding a solution! Focus on other priorities too and get things done
    - Listen to music to boost mood

    Have a good week everyone!

    Urgh, yesterday was awful. In summary, met only one of my commitments and ate like a complete pig! >:)

    Struggling quite a bit at the moment, combination of coming up to Christmas meaning lots of food around and things at work getting stressful again meaning my willpower is low to resist it.

    However I really do not want to go backwards... I've made good progress and really don't want to wreck it!

    Think I need to perhaps stop being so hard on myself and accept that over December it's going to be hard to lose weight so I should focus on maintaining my current weight - maybe losing weight very slowly if I can - and then try to lose weight again in January.

    Aiming to maintain rather than lose should in theory give me an extra 3500 calories a week to play with, which in theory should be more than enough for a bit of indulgence! (Should probably not assume that it will actually be this much - maybe around 2000-2500).

    Let's see how that goes... with that in mind, today's commitments are:

    - Log everything I eat so I know how many 'extra calories' I've used up
    - No snacking this morning, even though there is a box of tasty chocolates in the office
    - At lunch, keep amount of wine drunk down
    - At post lunch drinks, have G&T only
    - Overall, have one water for each alcoholic drink (same volume, not smaller!)
    - No snacking on crisps etc in the pub or on way home - wait till get home and have a piece of toast
    - Leave pub by 9pm LATEST

    - Before leaving for lunch: don't faff about, work things calmly and with focus

    2. Journal every bite
    3. HYDRATE
    4. 30 minutes of ACTIVITY tonight!!!
    5. Finish ALL my WWD tasks today so I can have next week off. Do NOT let colleagues sidetrack you today.

    7. After work, stop at Walmart for tinsel for the tree and look for some Christmas presents for the grandkids.
    8. Start baking for Christmas. At least bake the banana bread!
    9. Pay bills.

    I've been dealing with illness for the last month, but I am feeling better, so it is time to start setting daily goals again:

    1. Plan and track exercise for the week.
    2. Start doing meal planning and food prep for the week.
    3. Under 100G carbs for the day
    4. 10+ cups water
    5. Do one weight circuit and an hour of intense Zumba

    3. HYDRATE :) Did okay, but can do better!
