Starting Over/A New Beginning/A New Plan

I guess you could say that I'm fed up with myself. I've let my eating habits get way out of control, and it has been weeks since I've exercised, and it is not as though that had become routine yet. So, I'm going to try and use this space as an accountability tool. I will lay out a weekly plan that will include both eating, exercise, and general life goals as they pertain to my health. (It is worth a try right?)

Food/Eating -I've been paying for the Monthly Pass for WeightWatchers, which means I should be going to weekly meetings, but haven't been going very regularly. I last weighed in on the 17th, and that week and the week before I just went in during open hours to weigh in, I did not stay for a meeting. I haven't tracked my food at all since that last weigh in either. 

Goals for the week:
  • Get up at 6:45am Sunday-Saturday  (I would make this 7am, but Rose gets up for work at 7, so this way I can get in the bathroom quick before she gets up)
    • Lights out by 11pm (earlier if possible ~ ideal would be 10pm)
  • Track food eaten and stay within points for the week
  • Go weigh in at WeightWatchers (meeting optional, though preferred)
  • At least 10 minutes of exercise Sunday-Friday, Saturday rest day
    • Walking DVDs or Gazelle
Food "planning":
  • Pre-workout
    • Iced Chai (will become plain milk in the future but I'll need the caffeine to help me adjust to the new sleep schedule quicker) and water
  • Breakfast Options
    • Mulitgrain Cheerios (w/ dried bananas and/or strawberries)
    • Oatmeal
    • Eggs and toast
    • Yogurt
  • Lunch/Dinner Options
    • Soup
      • Tomato, Butternut squash, Cream of Potato
    • Sandwich
      • Grilled cheese
      • Grilled cheese w/ ham
      • Ham
      • Turkey
      • Tuna
    • Soup & sandwich
    • Chicken
    • Chicken nuggets/tenders
    • Pork chop
    • Salmon
    • Fish fillet
  • General/Misc.(attempt this week, goal for next week)
    • Fruit as morning snack
    • Veggies with lunch/dinner
 Here's to a week that gets me one step closer to my goals.

    Great start lady! Just wondering, why do you leave WW meetings if you are going for your weigh in?

    The place I go to has drop in hours where you can just stop in to weigh in, which is what I was doing. When I first joined I went to a couple meetings but was having a hard time finding a group/leader I liked. It is about a 35-40 minute drive for me to get there, so weather can be a factor in when I go. (Of course there's also gas prices..) I'm hoping that a sleep schedule/routine will help me get up there earlier and allow me to try out some different meetings. I know I'm paying for meetings so I should actually go to them, its just hard to stay when I don't feel like a particular leader can help me or that I relate to the others in the meeting.
