15 Minute Intervals

When I last left off... I was mopey, grumpy, fat and losing ground. 

Well, I'm not mopey, I'm less grumpy, but I'm still fat and losing ground.  This is so frustrating.  I know what I need to do, I just listen to that stupid voice that says "Indulge... you deserve it" when really I need to be listening to the other voice that says "You don't like what this results in, choose something else."  I'm not quite sure how to make that first voice shut up.

So I'm writing down my plan again, I'm starting to do better.  I've been doing great at the getting up and doing a 15 min tidy.  I've been okay at exercising after L goes to bed.  I've been terrible about tracking points and keeping up with daily chores.  But I'm discovering... maintenance is a heck of lot easier than the huge tidy we do every two weeks when the cleaning lady comes.

Here is my re-affirmation of my goals:

1.  Track foods, stay in points range.
2. Exercise after Lochlan goes to bed.  It's easy to find the time then.  He's in bed between 7:30-8:00pm, gaming doesn't start until 8:30, so that's fine.
3. Get up on time - 6:15am - and get ready.  
4. Do a 15 min tidy in the morning, maybe practice some music too
5. Do a 15 min tidy in the evening, maybe practice some music too
6. Get a whiteboard to put on the fridge in order to keep track of daily chores
7. Stay on top of daily chores
8. Meal planning - plan simple, light meals in the evening.  Stuff that is quick and easy to put together, but still good.
9.  Plan a big meal on Sunday and freeze left overs.
10.  Start doing some larger chore on Sundays.
11. Use mondays off to run errands or do a large chore.


That's the plan, let's see how many I can work into the routine this week.
