    Spring Health Challenge

    Okay, I'm in. I need more people holding me to my word

    Current weight:
    87kg
    First goal:
    80kg
    Eventual goal:
    65kg (ish)

    First goal achieved by: Let's say end of November. I go pretty slowly

    Mind
    Finish the series I'm reading and start on something I've NEVER read before instead of going back to books I've read a hundred times!

    Spirit
    Taking a few minutes every day to have a cuppa (or cold drink, whatever i feel like in the moment) by myself. The kids will be okay!

    Body

    I will at least attempt to exercise daily (and will fill this plan out when I get time)
    Monday -
    Tuesday -
    Wednesday -
    Thursday -
    Friday -
    Saturday -

    I have also decided to remove the scales from the bathroom for now - too addicted to standing on them everyday - and hormones make weight unpredictable for me so it's not healthy to keep on focusing on them.
    I will only weigh occasionally from here on in.

    So I weighed myself this morning. I'm 102

    First goal is to be 90kgs by Christmas. Overall goal is 75 for now.

    Mind:
    I will enrol in a course I want to do

    Spirit:
    I will aim to do devotionals and spend time in prayer every night

    Body:
    I will make better food choices

    I will also exercise at least 6 times a week
    Monday: Cardio Workout video/Walk (Whether permitting)
    Tuesday: Yoga/pilates (whichever takes my fancy that day)
    Wednesday: Cardio Workout video/Walk (Whether permitting)
    Thursday: Yoga/pilates (whichever takes my fancy that day)
    Friday: Cardio Workout video/Walk (Whether permitting)
    Saturday: Something physical with family (walk/bike ride etc)

    I've been doing so much more exercise than usual, but my clothes are feeling tighter. There's no way that it's muscle. It may however be swelling, it's crazy hot and humid here - took my rings off just in time, any later and I would have had to get them clipped off.

    But hopefully it is just swelling, and the extra movement is actually helping.

    Diet not great - some days it's good, lots of meat and veg, other days it's basically rice and pasta.

    Almost no alcohol (which would help) but more soda (which would not help).
