  • I'll join, too. My August goals are slightly different:

    - For enough water (always a problem for me)
    - For not eating carbs after 3pm
    - For state of mind, being enthusiastic, whatever
    - For keeping within my calorie allowance (which will mean keeping away from the blummin cheese)

    I'm not worrying about exercise - I enjoy it too much to miss.

  • Sorry to hijack the thread but what exactly is the right time to have minimal carbs? I'm curious, lately I've seen a lot of mention about cutting carbs at x time of day/night.
  • According to the Precision Nutrition plan I'm kinda following, you should only eat starchy carbs after exercise, and refined carbs as in a sports drink during exercise.

    There is a theory that carbs before bed promote fat storing however I'm not completely sold on this.
  • I just want to join in with the smilies...
  • O.K. here we go!
    My August goals are:

    - Enough water (not coffee!!!!)
    - Exercise or one of 2 planned rest days
    - Write it all down
    - make a journal comment - even if I have to update at a later date, keeping me focussed
