Weekend Worry

Previously my weekends would have involved going out with friends either to dinner or the movies. In either scenario my food choices would have been awful (think large buttered popcorn and large frozen coke or any Italian meal dripping in cream and cheese). I would have done a little cleaning up around the house before I got tired and took a nap. The rest of the weekend would have revolved largely around the TV catching up on my shows from throughout the week and eating lots of food I shouldn't be. With this in mind and my first Weight Watchers weekend just around the corner I find myself getting more and more concerned about how I'm going to survive this weekend and stay on track.

So what I need is a plan of a attack, how am i going to keep myself occupied throughout the weekend so I don't slip into bad habits? I've decided that success in any journey is all about taking charge of yourself so I'm going to write a list of things that I'm going to do this weekend with each one being ticked off once I've completed it. Here goes:

1. Take my dog for a walk each day

2. Complete at least 2 forty minute cardio sessions at the gym

3. Clean the house from top to bottom

4. Go to the newsagency and purchase the new WW Cookbook and/or a Simply To Good To Be True Cookbook - Done

5. Plan my menu for next week

6. Go food shopping for required items - Done

7. Precook some meals for next week

8. Update Ipod with some up tempo workout music - Done

With my first weigh in on Monday morning looming I'm determined to eat well and exercise regularly, I really want to see a good result this week and start putting the steps in place to break bad habits.

Wish me luck!
