Week One Goals:

So I've spent the past day or so, simply watching youtube videos on how to lose weight and I feel like while I definitely knew how to lose weight before but now I have a good plan on what to do. I'm going to set a number of goals beginning tomorrow(or today, however you want to class it) which is Friday 16th January. I know people don't normally start these things on a Friday but what odds. I want to start now so I will. These are the goals I'm setting for my first week and this will probably be the longest set of goals I will have but every week I will add in new goals to continue challenging myself... so here goes with the goals:

1. This is the big kicker. Reduce my calorie intake to 1200 calories and track this using myfitness pal.
2. Have at least 5-6 small meals/snacks a day.
3. Drink more water and green tea. Reduce my intake of diet coke. I know that this infact will probably be one of my hardest due to my serious diet coke addiction but I'm going to try to reduce what I normally would drink(on average 6 cans a day) to about 2 or even 1.
4. Meal prep on Saturday. I'm currently at my dad's but will be heading home tomorrow but I know I will not have time to meal prep until then.
5. Improve my sleeping pattern. I know a lot of this is due to the diet coke I drink and the awful sleeping patterns mean that my eating habits are horrendous and improving this will help so much.
6. No more alcohol. Period. This is something I'm very determined to give up for as long as possible and while it will be very hard living a student lifestyle, it is something I am willing to, for my own happiness.

I definitely feel like I've missed a goal or two but I can always introduce them in later, for now that is it. Note I have not introduced exercise in yet and I plan that for week two. I honestly just want to ease myself in first. I do plan on walking everywhere as apposed to taking the bus which I do normally but this is not a goal, just something I'm going to try to do. I'm going to post stats at the bottom of these goal posts so here goes:

Starting and Current Weight: 12 stone 11 pounds

Goal Weight: 8 stone 7 pounds or around about that

Height: 5 foot 5
