I was having a senior moment

when I wrote that last post...I was thinking I had ages since it was May when I wrote it, I lose track of time a lot and thought I had a few weeks to meet those goals.....

I was just reading another blog about an eight week exercise/budget/diet challenge and was thinking maybe they are more realistic goals. Since I was sick with a cold a couple of weeks ago karate has become quite hard and my fitness feels like it is lost. So onto some new goals.

• Karate twice per week
• Treadmill other five days for 30mins per day
• Cook dinner six nights per week (I have been doing this in an effort to save money and we are all loving the extra vegies and tasty dinners)
• Pay off some outstanding debts (I am really good at paying off debts but there seem to be so many at the moment lol)
• Protein powder every morning either in a smoothie or with porridge (the protein powder helps me to eat healthily all day and avoid sugary fatty snack foods. Unfortunately the last pack I bought was artifically sweetened and vanilla flavoured and it is just awful. So I haven't had any for a little while and it has made a huge difference not having it).

I am not into winter and I am cheering myself up with thoughts of Christmas, parties and holidays away, swimming, shorts and school holidays.

by the 30th June I will.....

1. Have lost 5 more kgs - more walking on the treadmill every day and less snacking on rubbish
2. Have mastered my kick routine
3. Have my hair cut again so there are less layers (that was such a big mistake) and get some chocolate and blonde foils
4. Keep the house organized and clutter free (harder to do now that I work more hours - I am following Adele's suggestion of every time I walk from one end of the house to the other having something in my arms to put away at the same time)
5. Cook healthy delicious meals with more variety of vegies (I have been experimenting a bit more and I am lovin it mmmm fresh corn on the cob)

Off to school camp

Tomorrow Chris and I are going on school camp for two nights to Mt Cotton. Apparently we are going to be canoeing, toasting marshmallows over the campfire, discoing, bushwalking and stargazing. Can't wait!
