New year new me

New Year, New Me

 Even though we are already 2 weeks into January, I was thinking the other day about what I want to achieve and get better at in 2019. Most people's New Year's resolution is to get fit and healthy and, to be honest, that is one of the things I want to improve. I tried going to the gym last year but with my work schedule I was just too worn out to get in my car and take myself there. I know that’s pretty lazy of me but most of the things I was doing at the gym I could have done at home anyway. But this year I’m going to try to eat healthier. I had porridge for breakfast this morning and I’m taking a salad for my lunch today - already halfway there. I’m going on holiday in May and I’m not very body confident, so I want to lose some weight so maybe I could fit into a bikini for the first time in my life. However, when chocolate and cake are your best friends, I need a bit of willpower. I’m thinking about chocolate already. Why can’t I think of lovely lettuce and cucumber instead?

I’m also quite a messy person. While writing this I can hear my mum saying 'you’re living in a pig sty'. My room is very small, I don’t have a lot of room to move, which I know isn’t an excuse but when your 16-year-old sister has the biggest bedroom in the house you kinda question if it's fair that I - the older one by 5 years - gets the room the size of a prison

 cell. Anyway, I seem to have a 'floordrobe'. I have too many 

clothes. The rail in my wardrobe broke once under the weight of them all. You could say I have a slight clothes addiction. My friend Lisa is very tidy and hangs her clothes up. I need to be more like Lisa aha. I’m convinced when I get my own house it will be nice and tidy... but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Now to the things I want to achieve. Linked with the healthy eating, I want to lose some weight. I’m going to aim to lose about 2 stone. I’m not very healthy. I’m quite unfit, I’ll openly admit it. So I’m hoping losing a bit of weight will make me feel better and more physically fit. 

I need to do more with my family. Everyone in the family works so it’s sometimes hard to do things together. Family time is important because you never know what tomorrow will bring. I need to tell my family that I love them more. Like I said in a previous blog, I said goodbye to my grandad not knowing that it would be my last goodbye. I think the only person I say 'I love you' to first is my boyfriend. So I am going to say 'I love you' more to my family.

I want to try to visit more places. There are some beautiful places in Britain and around the world to visit and I want to try to go to some of them. I want to go back to Brighton as the last time I went it was winter and it was freezing, so maybe in the summer it will be better. I’m already going to a couple of places I’ve never been before this year, and I’m quite excited to go and make some more memories with some very important people.
