starting kind of late, i know... but there's always time to start working on yourself!
my goals:
1. lose weight
why i want to do this - trigger warning for weight
how i'm going to lose weight - trigger warning for calorie count and weight
2. drinking more water (1 - 2L a day):

i'll try and update every day - i only have lectures twice a week so i have no reason to not update!! it's also a nice way to track how my mental health is doing, and i feel like if i'm posting it somewhere then i have to hold myself accountable!

i want to do this because i've been feeling like i definitely snack too much at uni, and i know for a fact that i don't do enough exercise to go with the amount that i snack whilst i'm at uni. i'd also like to go back down to a size 10 which is what i started uni at, and i'm now a size 12 which is a little frustrating.
i'd like to start feeling more confident with wearing dresses - i have two in my wardrobe which i never ever wear because i hate the way i look in dresses. the only time i've worn a dress in the last 9 years was my first orchestra concert this year and i still wasn't particularly comfortable in it. i can barely fit into my favourite pair of jeans and i'd like to be able to fit into them more comfortably than the way i currently squeeze into them.

how i'm going to lose weight - trigger warning for calorie count and weight
Spoiler:
Show
i've already started tracking how much i eat again after two years of not tracking - i use an app called cronometer which allows me to input the foods i eat and shows me how many calories my body needs to function correctly against how many calories i've taken in on that day, as well as helping me track how much water i've drunk.
i weighed myself 10 minutes ago (starting this blog on march 4th) and weighed in at 9st 12lbs which i'm not too happy with; the nhs website suggests that a healthy weight for my age and height is 9st or under so i'm going to try and get down to that by the end of the year. i've started going to football on sundays not only to add to the amount of exercise i do, but also to make friends which is going well so far! i walk to asda to do my shopping, i walk to all of my lectures and to orchestra and back which is not far but is still up and down a hill.
i'm giving up chocolate for lent (i say, as i've failed every day so far): i'm hoping that by doing that, i'll stop taking in as many calories as i was by snacking regularly through the day. i also have no multipack crisps left in my bedroom and am going to only buy these again as long as i leave them in the kitchen rather than keeping them in my room where i don't have to get up to get them out.
i also want to leave my room more often - i might walk down to the lrc on days i don't leave for anything else, so we're currently looking at fridays and saturdays with the possibility of adding thursdays since orchestra doesn't start until 7:30pm. this would help increase my steps and would get me out of my room more often!

2. drinking more water (1 - 2L a day):
how i'm going to do this:
Spoiler:
Show
i'm pretty good at always having my big 1L water bottle out on my desk, whether that's in lectures, in my room or in the LRC so i can always reach for it when i'm feeling thirsty.
why i want to do this:
Spoiler:
Show
when i was at secondary school / sixth form college i was pretty good at absolutely avoiding drinking water - i'm not sure why this is but it got to the point where the only time i was drinking water or smoothie was at breakfast and dinner which is pretty terrible for my body functions. i'm doing quite well so far this year, i always make sure i refill my water bottle to take to lectures and if it's empty, i'll get up to go to the kitchen and refill it.
3. journalling every day or every other day
how i'm going to do this:
Spoiler:
Show
i always have my journal out on my desk, open on my tracker pages (sleep tracker, every day tasks like brushing my teeth, washing my face and other menial tasks that i'm quite good at not doing as well as my duolingo and wordle streaks [i currently have a 107 day duolingo streak.])<br><br>i've been journalling every day of this year, and have been tracking my sleep schedule in there and on my phone through google fit which is also the way i track my steps. <br>
why i want to do this:
Spoiler:
Show
there's no point in me owning a bullet journal the way i have since christmas 2019 if i'm not going to use it properly. it's a nice way for me to remember what i was listening to at one stage in my life, for me to track the things i watched during certain stages of my life and to see how much better i can get at actually looking after myself. it's also a nice way to note down things like birthdays and sport that i want to watch or listen to without having a massive calendar on my wall (i have a little tiny one, as well as a whiteboard weekly planner).
i'll try and update every day - i only have lectures twice a week so i have no reason to not update!! it's also a nice way to track how my mental health is doing, and i feel like if i'm posting it somewhere then i have to hold myself accountable!

Spoiler:

didn't eat breakfast because i'm lazy and didn't get out of bed in time to have breakfast
lunch was a bread roll with butter and two oatcakes because i have no good sandwich fillings (i need to do a food shop) [168kcal + 245kcal = 413kcal]
dinner was maccies [949kcal]:
- mcplant burger [429kcal]
- large fries [444kcal]
- medium fanta [76kcal]
overall not a particularly good day in terms of healthy calorie intake but then again i try to not eat at maccies every time i go to the odeon; i would've eaten before leaving but both the flatmates i went with wanted to eat at maccies so i went with.

breakfast:
- two bread rolls with butter
lunch:
- toasted bagel with marmite
dinner:
- toasted bagel with tuna mayo, cucumber, sour cream and onion pringles
- apple juice
snacks:
- apple cake (2 slices)
steps: 5547 so i hit my (google fit) recommended step count for the day

today hasn't been much better but i'm gonna try and make something nice (healthy-ish) for dinner.

i had 6 hours of lectures today, i have 6 hours plus an optional hour and a half tomorrow (i'm pretty sure there's a guest speaker coming in tomorrow...). think i might make pasta to take with me tomorrow for lunch so i don't starve.
today tho:
breakfast:
nature valley oats 'n' honey bar because i didn't get out of bed early enough to actually have something nice to eat.
lunch:
tuna melt toastie was very yummy
dinner:
tuna mayo pasta with sweetcorn and garden peas!
snacks:
maoam stripe
iced coffee (homemade)
water: about 1400ml so far
exercise: literally just walking to class and back. 5157 steps.
weight check in - trigger warning weight:
journalling is going well; i was drawing up my calendar for april, added a gig that i was supposed to have at the end of april and not even an hour later i got an email saying it's been postponed until may next year which absolutely sucks because i was supposed to see them in april 2020 (the original date) and now i don't see them until next year

9st 7lbs need to do more steps around campus every day; might start a step goal of literally just like 10k steps, might reinstall pokemon go and walk around playing it to add steps.

9st 8lbs so on a bit of a flatline right now; thinking about getting a swim membership at either the gym near asda or the campus pool but i also don't know if i have the motivation or money for it. might talk to my parents and see if i can get a bump in my monthly payments to pay for a swim membership!

9st 11lbs - not doing particularly well at losing weight but as someone the other day pointed out, you have to start regulating what you're eating before you start trying to lose weight since what you eat contributes to how much weight you put on. i'm trying to eat more vegetables since i've not been doing particularly well at that recently and then i'm going to try and find nice places to go on walks around this area.
