Goals and things to achieve in 2016.
00:00I have decided to set myself some goals for 2016. There's A LOT I would love to achieve and I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.
2) Loose weight. I need to loose around 40ish pounds and I know I can do this! I was stupid to give up earlier this year. Moving house didn't help but I know I can do this. I HAVE done it and I CAN do it again. I'm looking forward to getting back into healthy eating and exercising every day again. I felt so much better in myself and so much more confident when I was doing the above last time. It is hard when I have a headache - as I have a brain disease but I think eating healthy (even if I can exercise) through those headaches and not giving up is the key.
3) To improve my blog in many ways. Scheduling blog posts and having a blogging routine. This is easily done.
4) Take more photos! I feel like I go through phases of taking pics and then don't take any for weeks! I really enjoy taking photos and learning to use my DSLR camera. I know it's not always convenient to drag that around with me but now I have a new point and shoot camera that I got for Christmas, there's no excuse! I might even join in on photo challenges this year!
5) To plant some fruits and veggies. I have a lovely little garden and I really want to focus on that come the summer. Also growing my own fruits and veggies will save me money. I'd also like some nice plants, too! My grandad has a garden full of beautiful plants I can take cuttings from, so again, there's no reason why I can't achieve this!
6) I think this comes with number 2 but I want to stay more active when I can. Not always possible with my headaches but I can try and be more active when my head isn't bad. I'd also like to make more effort with myself, do my hair properly and put make up on more often.
7) Make more time for reading! I love to read but I never have time to read but I could make time instead of wasting time on youtube or watching T.V.
8) Say YES more.
So those are my main goals to achieve this year. I'll also do seasonal bucket lists too, which are usually more family focused but these are the main goals I would like to achieve for myself and home.
What are your new years goals or resolutions?

ReplyDeleteI found having akindle increased my reading as it is always in my bag. You have some great resolutions and goals there.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals I have a new camera too so I have been going out and taking my own images which is fun but challenging. I want my blog to take off this year too.
ReplyDeleteThey are great goals Sarah and I cannot wait to see what decorating you do x
ReplyDeletegreat goals and achievable too. I got a new camera last year and so far haven't moved off 'auto' I really need to learn how to use it
ReplyDeleteLove the goals!! I love getting new cameras!!
ReplyDeleteI am anti-resolutions but I do monthly goals, though I do want to lose weight I have kept it off my list as everytime I put it on I never do it so this time it will just be in the back of my mind and do it slowly. Good luck with your goals.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck. I am having a Gastic Bypass in 13 days and it's not going to be easy. I have bout 9 stone to lose. Angela
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals! I aim to plan and schedule more, and to be more 'in the moment' with my children. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteThese are great goals, it will be lovely to decorate and Spring is such a nice time to do it. We grow fruit and veggies and its very rewarding. Good luck with them I am sure you will do great x
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals. Moving house always seems to mess with a healthy lifestyle, I had the same thing happen (far too many comfort and convenience foods to get through the long days, and exercise went right out of the window). And have fun with the decorating, I bet the wait has left you full of ideas.
ReplyDeleteyour goals sound similar to mine, I definitely need to be more active and lose around the same amount of weight - good luck! #MMWBH
ReplyDeleteGood luck! My main goal this year is to get a first draft of my book completed, but rather than just set a goal I've mapped out a plan with weekly targets and a list of both what I need to achieve and the things I need to stop doing to free up the time to do it. So often it's easy to set goals but not have a clear way forward in terms of how you're actually going to do it.
ReplyDeleteWe have recently got an allotment and decided to try and grow as much veg and some fruit as we can this year. Its going to be a great feeling eating it after its been home grown. Thank you for linking up with #anythinggoes over at Blogging Mummy
ReplyDeleteI think it's so good to have goals and have them written down. I should probably do this with mine, particularly my desire to get fit and lose some weight!
ReplyDeleteLoads of goals there - good luck with them all! I love 'say yes more'! Happy 2016!
ReplyDeleteMoving in to a new build is hard., We did wait a year to paint, but we put up shelves etc straight away. Good luck with your goals
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with it all - remember to have some rewards/time for yourself too. I hope your headaches aren't too frequent for you.
ReplyDeleteMust have been frustrating not decorating - don't blame you for wanting to get on with that.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and all the best with your goals for 2016! Thanks for linking up with #MMWBH!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great ones there and I particularly like the say yes more. Mich x
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your goals - making your house your own is really exciting!
ReplyDeleteMy goals are very similar to yours, especially to lose weight. I started at the begging of December and have lost 11lbs so far and it feels really good! good luck x
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to set myself goals now but I wish that my blog will continue to grow, for a new baby to bring us some healing and joy and to lose some weight, before and after the baby arrives.xx
ReplyDeleteThese are all great goals - really good luck with it all, and I hope that your headaches go away.
ReplyDeleteSome great goals - some are very similar to mine as well! Nice to see people on a similar wavelength!
