Sorry I seem to be a bit of a thread hog today! but I keep thinking of things :)

I think everyone should write 5 goals down here and we should check in each month to see how we are getting on!

Mine are:

Eat less salt (I literally put so much salt on everything)

Drink more water

Stop making excuses not to exercise

Lose 1stone by end of September

Try and eat a varied balanced diet rather than just eating rubbish but less of it

whats yours?

I'm trying to put together some measurable targets so I can actually see that I am achieving them!

1. To go out on my bike at least twice a week.

2. When I am going to binge, to lay out all the food I am going to binge on and to only eat that. Ideally I would put don't binge but I think that is unrealistic for the time being.

3. Do not hide what I am eating.

4. Not to drink more than 2 glasses of wine at a time.

5. Lose 3 pounds by the end of August.

Good luck everyone.

It's good to keep saying goals aloud, so here are mine:

1. Lose another 10lb (no deadline)

2. Have salad everyday

3. Have fruit everyday

4. Try not to drink alcohol the night before a run

5. Keep running 2-3 times a week
