I have decided to start this blog now at the beginning of
2014 to help give me a bit of focus and drive for the year, yep this is a New
Year’s Resolution post…
2013 was a strange one I got engaged in the January and from
that point everything whipped past in a blur leaving me feel as though I’d had
no control over everything that had happened and merely been a passenger.
Looking back it makes me a little sad to feel that way but
as with so many years gone by I have made resolutions for 2014 and to feel more
like a participant in my own life rather than a spectator is something I will
hold the highest in importance.
My resolutions to help me do this:
- Lose pounds (lbs) ready for the wedding
- Gain pounds (££s) ready for the wedding…
- Cook more (something I hope will help with both the above!)
- Be more organised in my home / personal life
- See my friends more!
- Start to learn Welsh
- Blog! About anything and everything I enjoy and learn from along the way!
That’s quite an ambitious (and long) list! But a lot of
these things go hand in hand and all contribute to leading my life with more
fulfilment, atleast that’s the plan…
I already have started going to my local leisure centre gym
and I do enjoy it once I get into a routine so once I am fully out of Christmas
mode I am going to push myself into it. I often find that the healthy eating
comes along with it and therefore I should be able to lose some much needed
weight!
I already cook 100% more than I used to so this should just
be a progression. (I think in my head I was Carrie Bradshaw either eating out
or forgoing the food for a liquid diet)
Currently as I type I have a Ham in Coke a la Nigella my
slow cooker! Get me! To clarify I do mean CocaCola…
I am a very organised person in my professional life, infact
I am one of those annoying people that my boss avoids as I will reorganise and,
in my mind, politely prompt things months before the due date. However when it
comes to my personal life I kind of drift along without adhering to plans that
I never made and remembering that my Car Tax is due at the last minute just
after I bought a new handbag and matching boots!
More of an add on to the last point I am lucky to have lots
of wonderful friends dotted about Wales and England and I really want to make
the effort to see them more often. I am already eagerly awaiting the return of
one of my besties from travelling in March and a couples weekend (so Bridget
Jones) in April.
As I am not Welsh but have been living here for about 7
years…wow now I feel old…I would really like to learn Welsh. Not to get any
further along with the Natives, I think I can count the amount of Welsh people
I have met who fluently speak Welsh on one hand, but because I think it will
help me with my career, any future children I will have will be expected to
learn in school and because my fiancé is learning.
I think it would also be great to turn round and speak to
someone in Welsh right when they’re chastising me for being English!
So that is that! This blog is going to be a lifestyle blog
in its truest form, a blog about my lifestyle and the way in which my year will
evolve. However, I am a bit of a beauty obsessive and as such I am sure I will
be very heavy in my beauty musings. In my next few posts I will write a bit
more about me and what I love and how I am getting along with my resolutions…
