May need to fix my weekend habits

Oh dear, I can't believe how bad I was this weekend. Who knew that liquor had soo many points. I had a lovely night with some friends on Friday but turns out I should of checked the points value before consuming alot of butterscotch Schnapps. :o( I ended up consuming double my allocated points on Friday. :o( The biggest problem is that I just didn't have the energy to burn it off with exercise points on Saturday.

I spent all day Sunday cleaning house so that burnt off some of the excess point but I still have a bit to go. I guess we all just have to learn from the mistakes we make.

i have pilates tonight which will help burn away some of that schnapps. Might try and get some Zumba in after that and then I should be back on track. I'm keeping a close eye on my pedometer and I seem to be doing the healthy amount of steps but I think I might go for 6,000 steps a day. It's going to be hard because my job involves being glued to my computer. But my boyfriend suggested today that maybe I should go for a quick walk during my lunch break. Might see if I can get inspired enough to go out in that cold Canberra air and walk for 20mins.

I also unfortunately lost my grandmother on Friday but have done well to avoid emotional eating which is a big achievement for me. Now all I need to do is kerb the emotional drinking and I'll be fine.

So obviously my biggest downfall is that I'm not super keen on exercise. Do any of you have tips or tricks to get you inspired to go for a walk or do that bit of exercise you really don't feel like doing?

  1. Hey Hez, I find if I write it then I am more likely to do it. I have a whiteboard in my kitchen & on it is what the evening meal will be as well as what exercise I am doing that day. I try to vary it as much as possible too so that I don't get bored. I also find that some days I just don't want to but then I just get out there & do it & feel so much better for it after.
