My first goal is to continue with my attempt at a healthier lifestyle. I've made numerous lifestyle changes this year (no wine/share bars of cadbury on school nights) and my aim is to continue this way. I have finally got myself into a routine of going to the gym and eating well 80% of the time. However in order to achieve my goals before I go on holiday in December I need to keep this up and also step it up a notch.
One of my new years resolutions was to take part in a Wolf Run which I completed back in April and absolutely loved it. My next aim is to run a 10k, but I'd like to train for a couple of months to feel more confident with running and look less like Phoeobe from friends .
Therefore my second goal for Winter is to get into running, I know this doesn't seem like an ideal time to start an outdoor activity, but I love running in the cold and as long as its light I'll try to get in 2 runs a week as well as my normal gym routine. I've never been one of those people that love to run, however I don't absolutely hate it as I find it quite thearaputic so hoping the more I do it the more I'll love it (lets hope this theory works). This obviously means I'll have to buy some new winter running gear (post to follow) which brings me onto my next goal - Being savvy with my spending.
It's no secret I have a slight shopping problem. I work in Marketing, I know how people are trying to attract and persuade me to buy things but I do it anyway. My biggest problem is wanting to try out new products, this isn't just with clothes but with supplements, health products and the worst culprit - eating out. As I've got my holiday in December and a potential move in the new year I'm going to make a conscious effort to really try and keep an eye on my spending.
My third goal is to try and de-clutter my life through selling things on eBay, due to the point above I have a ridiculous amount of stuff I don't use or wear. An SLR camera for example? I hope to get these onto eBay in the near future so I will post on here if anyone wants to take a look. I just hope I don't end up seeing things I want to buy on there and defeat the whole object.
My fourth goal will be to try and take some time for myself. Working 8-5 and going to the gym 4-5 times a week I find myself spending the remainder of my time on my phone. It is a terrible habit. I hate it and I get so annoyed with myself for doing it. I could probably sit scrolling on Instagram for a good 2 hours without any thought.Theres just always something new to nose at - what colour kylie jennies hair is, new fashion collections, pictures of food, workout transformations, the list is really endless. However by the time I get home from the gym, make dinner, shower and sit down, that 2 hour window before bed I could be doing something a little more useful or enjoyable.
My fifth goal is to focus on my career development in order to try and figure out what I want to do with my life. I'd like to blog more and educate myself on the things that I enjoy and passionate about. I will be putting aside some time (hopefully I'll have more after cracking goal no.4) to educate myself on my options and what I really want to do. Hopefully I'll have an idea on a new job by the end of the year!
For now I'm going to focus on these 5 things… these should take me up until the new year - then the resolutions will start!
