Happy New Year 2017: My Resolutions

Happy New Year EVERYONE!

Wow here we are already in 2017 and I just cannot believe how quick 2016 has zoomed by and it has been an amazing year with a few ups and downs but overall its been a good year. With it being the new year I thought I would start my first post of the year telling you what my goals are which I hope to achieve after failing massively at 2016 haha.

So here they are;

1. Fit back in to my size 10 clothes

I have to say this is probably one that I mentioned last year haha but I failed at it and it just got to the point in the last month when clothes shopping I realised how unhappy I was with the weight gain and that its time to do something about it.

2. Get back in to my gym routine

I have been going to the gym for the last 4 and half years at least 4 to 5 times a week and in October I just hit this brick wall where I wasn't bothered anymore and wasn't enjoying myself. It hit December and I just stopped going and decided that I wanted a break which I really appreciated because I went a few times at the end of December and I really enjoyed it! Now to get back in to the 5:20am alarm call (groans).

3. Read at least one book a month

I have a habit of buying books by my favourite authors and then not reading them or taking months to finish them. So my aim is to read one book a month and then to do a blog post about it. So you can expect to see my first book blog post at the end of January hopefully ha.

4. Post another 100 posts on my blog through 2017

When I starting writing this I noticed that during 2016 I managed to post 100 times which is amazing considering the lack of posts through 2015 and 2014. I want to keep this up through the next year.

5. Drink more water and cut out fizzy drinks and unhealthy foods

I think it says it all really hehe. I drink far to many fizzy drinks and not enough water along with all the unhealthy food and food portions I have it's time to cut back and change my habits.

My 2016 Goals

I'm usually one of these people who make new years resolutions and break them over 30 seconds into the New Year so this year I am going to set myself some goals, goals that I would like to achieve or just improve on by this time in 2016.

Goal Number 1: To Apply for the RSPCA

I am a massive animal lover and a job roll that I have always wanted to peruse, I've grown up around animals maybe not dogs and cats but I have other types.

I always used to walk my neighbors dogs for years and would do this every weekend and some nights during the evening, it is a dream to hopefully own my own dog when the time is right so hopefully in the next few years this will happen.

I know at times that this job will be tough but at the same it will also be so rewarding, they only do so many recruitment drives a year so as soon as the next is available I will apply. There is 3 different stages before you are actually get accepted to go and study for 6 months to a year.

Goal Number 2: Be Accepted to be a dog walker for the RSPCA

As I mentioned above I love walking dogs and this is something I enjoyed doing as child and during my work experience at school and collage. I have been meaning to sign up now for a number of years but its slipped past so this year I must and it will also benefit me in my application for the RSPCA.

Goal Number 3: To become more Healthier 

I wouldn't say that my 3 main meals I have a day are exactly unhealthy its more the stuff I eat in between or in the evenings. I can safely say that 2015 has been a year of lots of chocolate, sweets, cakes and most definitely ice cream and that I have gained a stone this year or at lease 10 pound I'm not to sure.

But in 2016 I want to try and eat more fruit and veg especially veg as this is something I don't eat much of at all I am more of a fruit lover on and off than a veg lover. I also want to cut down my food portions as I eat far too much than I really should along with all the additional sugary items I eat.

So my overall aim is to eat smaller meals, more fruit and veg and to limit myself to one day where I can treat myself.

Goal Number 4: Swimming/Gym

I already exercise quiet a lot as it is cycling or walking to work and then going to the gym 3 mornings a week and once on the weekend but I feel I need to put more effort in to my sessions and maybe add some variety to my routine.

I am thinking about getting a personal trainer but they aren't cheap at all, so maybe one every month even if I can afford that. I am going to start swimming as this is very good exercise for you but also because if I want to join the RSPCA i have to be able to swim 50 meters clothed in 2 and a half minuets so this is something I want to spend time improving.


So these are my goals for 2016 lets see how many of these I can achieve by this time next year! What are your goals?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and New Years!

Can't believe its 2015 already and in a few days my blog would have been up and running a year which is quite crazy when you think about it and I haven't really written on here as much as I wanted or thought I would.

This year I've decided I'm not going to set my self resolutions as to be honest they get broken within the first 24 hours of the new year so instead I'm setting myself some goals.

Goals:

No.1: Train Hard & Eat Clean

I love going to the gym and exercising as I use this time to reflect but what my problem is I use this as an excuse to just eat rubbish food still which I really don't want to be the case anymore. Nothing wrong with a treat at the end of the week on a Friday but not all the time.

No.2: Loose A Stone Of My Current Weight

I'm not over weight and I am happy with my body but I've gained a few pounds over the last few months so would really like to loose it and then try and maintain my weight.

No.3: Try Not To Let Little Things Annoy Me

Any one who knows me knows I like to moan a lot which is something I do try to do less but never really get anywhere but I really need to start getting less annoyed at things that I shouldn't be. Probably wont last long ha.

I have to say 2014 has been an amazing year and I've accomplished so many things;

2014 Review:

• Celebrated NYE's in London
• 3 years together with the boyf
• First trip to Disney 
• Went to Northern Ireland to meet the In Laws
• Saw Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Russell Howard, Miranda, Lee Evans and The Vamps live
•  Passed my driving test
• Moved in to my own place with the boyfriend
• Went to Berlin

Things to Come 2015:

• Seeing Sam Smith, Jimmy Carr and The Vamps live
• 4 years with the boyf
• Hopefully going to Disneyland in December
• Another trip to Northern Ireland

Who knows what else 2015 will throw at me but either way I am looking forward to finding out whats in store. 

Wishing you all the best for the new year over and out :)

New Years in London!

New years in London...

So this year me and my best friend decided to go to London to spend New Years Eve watching the fireworks display from Westminster Bridge, this is defiantly something worth doing at least once. We stayed in a Premier Inn in Waterloo which is about 10mins from the bridge and was relatively cheap considering. 

We got in to London around half past two went and checked in to our hotel and headed out in to Central London for our lunch. When ever in London we always have to go to our favourite American Diner E'ds (http://www.edseasydiner.com/) seriously go check it out its proper old skool retro American with the booths, juke boxes and shakes.

I recommend the sweet potato fries you haven't lived until you have had them. Whilst in Leicester Square I ended up in my favourite shop Tokyo Toys its a really cute kinda nerdy shop with manga, plush's, tshirts and Asian stuff so I kinda ended up with an Alpaca soft toy as your see too the left :)

At about 7:30pm me and Blondie left the hotel and made our way to the bridge to wait till 12:00am to see the fireworks. It was a long wait ill tell you that now but well worth it in the end the atmosphere was amazing everyone talking singing and wishing each other a new year. 

The fireworks were spectacular but I didn't smell anything mind don't know if the rain ruined this or what not but apparently it was meant to smell of strawberries and bananas would have been pretty amazing if it did smell. 

If anyone is thinking of going then I'd defiantly do it, one of those bucket list things you must dooooo!!!!!
