May Goals

Hello!  

Been a while, I lost a little mojo there for a minute....infact I'm writing off April all together! I could blame half term and my littlest ones birthday, plus visitors and meals out, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed but its just excuses really.  I have things in place to stop me going off track in those instances but I chose not to do them and now a month has gone.  

However, got my positive panties back on and looking forward to a good month!  The sun is (kind of) shining and I'm feeling motivated!  So, with that in mind, here are my goals for May.  

1. Lose another half a stone

The last month on/off plan has seen me put on 3lbs in total (I'm soooooo lucky its not more!) so I now have 7.5lbs to get into the next stone bracket.  I havent seen said stone bracket since about June 2015 so its a MASSIVE deal for me and means I'm that much closer to my target.

2. Fit comfortably in my clothes

I've already started fitting back into my size 12s but its still a bit hit and miss depending on what the fit of whatever I'm wearing is like.  I'm probably a size 13 but as they dont do a size 13 I'd like to comfortably get back into my size 12s which I think is probably not that far off.

3. Find new recipes

I'm stuck in that rut at the moment where I'm cooking the same things again or I can't be bothered to think about food at all which is even worse!  This can only end in me eating toast for dinner which is never good.  I've got about a ton of magazines and nearly every recipe book going (including the new Barbecue one I'm looking forward to trying) so Ive no excuse not to try new things.  Its just a case of getting them all out and looking through!  

4. Go back to group

I'm still not sure about this one, but I'm wondering if I've become a bit complacent and therefore need the kick up the backside going to group will give me!  However, I have a couple of things that make me unsure whether going to group works for me 1. I dont lose weight every week, more like every ten days which can get frustrating when you're weighing on a set day and 2. I've yet to find a group I can go to thats not huge and takes hours to go through everyones weight loss!  So yes, I've included it on my goals but we shall see. 

5. Get back out running!

I got addicted to running a while back.  Love doing weights but want to focus on losing weight before I concentrate on building up muscle, love the gym but been so busy lately I've not got there.  Running is something I can easily fit into my day with the dog in the mornings after the school run.  He'll love it too so its a win win! 

So those are my May goals.  I do feel its good to write them down as opposed to having them in my head, makes them much more real and I'm much more likely to stick to them!

Thanks for reading, happy slimming!
