Eating:
- Low carb for almost all of the month. By "almost all" I'll give say 27 days. That means one day a week maximum that I can go high carb, although I'd really prefer to not have any days. Sadly, today the 1st is a high carb day which means that the maximum number of days would be 30.
- Reward meals when they happen. I have reward meals for losing each kilogram, and a few other things. That means once a month when I pay my bills I have a reward meal as an example. I can't have a reward meal in advance, because there is too much risk that I'll end up having it twice. No reward meals in advance.
- The return of the eating green/red squares. This was something that I have used on the blog, it's quite easy to see how I'm eating. I last used it here on April 2011. That was a while ago! It's just a green square when I've eaten properly and a red square when I haven't.
Now, the harder ones, exercise:
- Become fit. That means, to me to be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping. I achieved this back in 2004 and I'm hoping that it won't take me more than a month to achieve, like it did last time.
- I exercise every day, except the first of August. It's almost midnight now and I'm not in the mood to go for a run. But starting tomorrow, yes, it's going to happen. Even if it's for a minute, it's going to count.
So there you have it. 5 goals. These aren't hard goals, I know that I can do them, it just takes a bit of perseverance to do it as required.
Good luck with your goals this month. I totally agree when you say a new month means a new start.
