I can't believe we're halfway through 2020 already and I've achieved pretty much none of the goals I set myself at the start of the year.I know I'm not the only one and that totally get that me and my goals aren't exactly important in the grand scheme of everything that's going on in the world right now but I just can't go on with things the way they are at the moment. I feel like I'm living in limbo waiting for the lockdown to end so I can get on with my life and make the changes I want to make.But I can't go on like that for much longer so I've decided that even if the world is still a bit … [Read more...]

It must be a good six months since I've shared my monthly goals with you but with the kids back at school on Monday, I'm excited to get some routine back into my life (and my bank balance) so I thought I'd share what my goals were for this month.I'm not one of those parents who hates the start of September because the kids are going back to school and I'll miss them, I'm more the kind of parent who counts down the days from about the last week in August and can't wait to get them back to school!It's not because I don't like having them at home because I do (mostly) but as much as I … [Read more...]

I'm the sort of person who enjoys having a goal or target to work towards, especially if there's a way I can monitor my progress on my way to the end goal.  I think that's why i'm enjoying writing these monthly posts at the start of each month sharing my goals for the month ahead.  Today I'm sharing my April goals although they're not too taxing if I'm honest as I've got so much on that just making it to the end of the month without collapsing in a tired heap will do me fine! April Goals - Personal My main personal goal for March was to get some balance back in my life and I'm pleased with … [Read more...]

I'm so excited that Spring seems to be on it's way!Just the sight of the blue skies I've seen lately has made me feel happier in myself and I have this month in my head as the month that things will finally start to get back to normal.  I really want to feel like me again and I'm only going to be able to feel like that until all of my niggling issues have gone (you can ready about my op here). March Goals - Personal My personal goals for February were all about taking it easy, catching up with friends and getting back into Slimming World. I managed two and a half out of three.... … [Read more...]

When I wrote my January goals post last month I knew that I was going to have a difficult month but I still set myself quite a few targets for all areas of my life.  I'm glad I did though because it really helped me to focus the little energy I had at times through the month on achieving some of the things I wanted to do but I definitely didn't achieve all my goals by any means.I've been back at work now for three weeks and although I love being back (am I the only person who loves their job?) I do think I possibly went back a little early.  Despite feeling about a hundred times better … [Read more...]

I know I've said this many, many time before but I really do love New Year.  Logically, the date on a calendar shouldn't inspire me to want to improve things as much as they do but seeing as it does, I'm going to take full advantage and set myself some January goals while I'm feeling so motivated.January Goals - PersonalI want to get back to work this week and get myself settled back in.  I'm in two minds about it because I've been off ill for so much of last year that I'm dreading it because there's going to be so much to catch up on but excited because I really do enjoy my job. … [Read more...]
