Fail to plan, plan to fail.

I didn't really get this quote until it came to sixth form exams and then even more when I wanted to change my diet/exercise regime! Now I plan weekly workouts as they just keep me more motivated! I do 2-3 classes a week as they always seem like you do more work and try to swim once a week. Then I choose to focus on one goal the other days of the week eg cardio, legs, bum, abs etc etc!
I try to workout Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday then I run Sunday evenings.
I've also tried to cut out snacks and as a result I get through hardly any food (I still pile up the veggies though!) so I plan meals to make sure I have the right ingredients and don't have any waste. Every night I cook and make twice as much for lunch the next day (or sometimes for the next two days!) I don't like to plan breakfasts as I like to have whatever I fancy at the time so I make sure I always have yogurt, granola, eggs, rye bread and fruit then I can always knock up a tasty breakfast but I always plan a few options so I have a really good idea of how to cook it! I also make juice every day for a sort of dessert for my lunch - I work in a farm shop which sells lots of chocolate etc and juice seems to satisfy my sweet cravings I get after lunchtime! Luckily we also sell lots of tasty fruit and veg so I always have the freshest stuff!
If you're interested in any recipe ideas or what I eat in a day leave a comment!
