Ahhh it’s all back to normal! *sigh* I’m so content. There’s something about my boring mundane routine that brings me so much comfort after the Christmas chaos. The kids are back at school, Mr Secret Blog is back at work, and I’m working again. Being self employed that’s a good thing as I’m earning money again! It also helps that I love what I do and I love my customers! Walking the School runs, set bed times for the kids, eating meals at normal times, eating HEALTHY again, getting up early…this might sound like torture to most people. But to me, this is heaven. I LOVE knowing what’s coming next and mental health wise I NEED routine. Having my day broken up into sections is what keeps me level and stable.
I’m not talking about it in real life but I’m back on my healthy eating plan again. The Christmas food is all gone and I want my body back. I’ve written tonnes on why I need to loose weight, now is the time to get on and just do it. I’m walking the school runs and have been playing ‘Just Dance’ on the wii with my daughter, so I’m trying to be more active. Today was a big test, I took to kids to my parents house for the afternoon and I resisted sooo many temptations. I feel really good for it and am really proud of myself, it’s a start anyway! I want this to be the year I finally loose this fat suit I’m wearing, I worry about my health and I’m sick of everything being a struggle. I feel like I’m missing out on so much but I’m the only one that can change that.
I’ve got my course next weekend which I’m so excited about, my kit arrived yesterday and I’m ready to get stuck in. I want to really push myself and get even more new customers this year. Offering this new treatment (I hope) is going to be a game changer. I want to up my earnings and try and save some money, I’ve never had savings before as money is so tight but I want to change that this year.
I’ve been making an effort with my appearance again which is doing my confidence wonders. Spending that extra 20 mins in the morning choosing nice clothes, doing my hair and slapping on my makeup is well worth it. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments too which has been nice to say the least. It seems people are really noticing, not sure if that’s a good thing or not!!!
I’ve not made New Years resolutions as I think they’re stupid and it sets me up for failure. But I like having goals and for some reason I feel this year is a fresh start. I’ve made such progress the past few months by not having my annual mental breakdown after Christmas it’s made me see that I really can achieve anything I put my mind too.
I would love to hear if you have any goals this years? Please comment below!!

Sounds like a great start with a course to look forward to and feeling healthier with routine. I think I’m like you – routine is good for me. I don’t have resolutions but I need to make some goals and aims for this year; it’s looking like a vast empty space right now and I need to put some proper time into thinking about the upcoming year. x

I find if I don’t have goals I get really down and feel like my life is standing still. You should write it all down when you’ve decided I would love to read it 🤗 xxx

I set goals as well vs resolutions. This year I am practicing honesty in all aspects of life, starting with being honest with myself. That is hard to do at time’s. That is my 2018 goal. I set daily and weekly goals that are attainable some as small as showering but hey!! When I do it .
…. I ✔ it off 🙂 Happy New Year.
