2016 .

This post may seem a little late as we are now 4 weeks into January, however I've been slowly bringing myself back to reality after the most amazing 2 weeks away over Christmas in Mauritius.

I'm quite happy with my lifestyle habits that I have adapted in the past year and this year I plan on continuing my efforts without needing to put a pressure on myself with unrealistic expectations.  2015 was my best year yet - and I plan for this year to be no different. 

I work on a 'need to work towards something' mentality therefore I've set some goals/plans of what I want to achieve this year. None of these have time frames just aspects of my life I'd like to work towards. 

1. Finish the Bikini Body Guide 1.0

Third time lucky right? Kayla Itsines is a genius, I love feeling stronger and having a different workout for every gym session helps me stay focused.

2. Find a job more fitting to my interests

This has been something I have been thinking about for a while. I'd like to find a role in London, in Digital Marketing - wish me luck!

3. Allow time for me to blog and read (and spend less time on Instagram)

This is something I am already struggling with, my job search is taking up a lot of my time. However I'd really like to set aside some time for me to really try and build my blog and social platforms.

4. Partake in some kind of physical challenge

This is why I cannot wait to be in London - these physical challenges are all over the city. Including a Where's Wally run in May. Dressing up in a costume and running 10k looking like a Wally? - count me in!

5. Make more summer plans than I can afford

This may be a little difficult with my lower disposable income in London however I want the summer to be my best one yet. There is so much to do and I'd like to meet new people, try new places. Summer Bucket list post to follow in the near future!

6. Eat well 90% of the time

I have got myself into the routine of balancing healthy eating - and I feel so great for it.Something I definitely want to continue this year, with just maybe less five guys. 

7. Experiment more with cooking by using some of the cook books I have recently purchased

The Body Coach, Jamie Olivers superfoods and Madeliene Shaw's 'Get the glow' to name a few. 

8. Make time for my family

Sometimes making time to see family is so difficult, before you know it 2 months have passed and you haven't seen your grandparents. This year I will make a conscious effort to stay in touch with my loved ones.

9. Take up yoga

Good for the body, good for the mind - I am sold!

and finally

10. Travel

After my amazing trips in 2015 to Dubai, Budapest, Nice, Prague and Mauritius I really want to see more of the world. I truly believe you learn something everywhere you go (even about yourself)and is definitely something worth saving towards.


What are your goals for 2016?
