Day 2 - 1st Resolution Report

Well, so far so good... I haven't cheated yet - although I know it's still early days.

It is Day 2 of my new years resolution - or as I like to call it - my "promise to myself"... and I made the most of it:

• I washed all the dishes and pans etc., by hand (instead of using the dishwasher - hey every calorie burned counts right?! ) and cleaned the kitchen.
• I deep cleaned the bathroom - tiles and all.
• Watched some New Year detox tips on TV .
• I joined WeightWatchers online so I could keep track of my food allowance.
• I went power walking - running some errands at the same time.
• I ate healthily - without feeling I was missing out on anything - after all I can eat anything as long as it's within my "points" allowance for the day.
• I drank 5 glasses of water and some green tea, & coffee - so it didn't quite meet my required 8 glass minimum, but it's better than I was doing! And I resisted soda/fizzy drinks and juice.

So time for bed... also thank you to everyone who sent me messages about this.  It won't be long before we have our own social group for this kind of thing :-)
