Time For Change!!

Hey,

I'm sharing my 2014 New Years resolutions with you as I feel sharing them on here is going to keep me motivatated as I'm no quiter; when people know what I really want for myself I won't want to fail!

Life

1. To lose 1.5 stones of weight

I'm hoping to lose more but this is me being realistic to myself

My reason for wanting to do this is confidence and to feel better in my self! A few years back when I went to see a Physio for my numbness in my hands, I was told I had a stiff spine in two places; back then I was happy being a size 12/14 and didn't really notice it....a few years on I'm a size 16 and starting to feel it. I'm most comfy sitting on a floor/sofa cross legged and sleeping in positions that mean I probably put to much strain on my back which I know would ease with a few less pounds!
My sister brought my a student cookbook for Christmas with amazing recipes inside, so I will be going a lot of use out of that when achieving this goal, as many of them are healthy recipes. 

2. To cut out all sugar where possible 

I know part of my weight lose issue is to do with my super size sweet tooth, so this will help point 1 A LOT!! Cutting sugar out is going to be a real tough one for me but I'm not going to go crazy with it (if food has it in so be it), but I won't be choosing to pick up a bag of sweets in my shopping. 

3. To exercise at least 3 times a week

This may be a run in the park or just exercises in my room, but will not include a trip to the gym until I'm back home for the summer because of my student fund; there is just not the funds to pay for that sort of thing! 

4. Read More
I love to read but never think to just sit and read; mainly because I hate sitting in silence. I put the TV  on to make noise but it always catches my eye and I don't read much! Last year I read 3 and a half books! This year I want to read at least 6! 

Blog

1. Promote my blog posts a lot better
I'm terrible at this! Mainly because I'm not the biggest fan of twitter! but I don't think that its because I'm not a fan as such but because I just never have it open on my pc, and only use twitter on my iPad to browse what others have wrote. So this year want to make this one of my thing....to tweet about new blog posts throughout a day; not just once or twice.

2. To be organised with my blog posts
I'm hoping to get nice placements this year, which will give me time to blog but if not, I want to make sure I'm ahead and have posts scheduled and ready to go! This being organised malarkey does include taking pictures ahead of me wanting to write posts on them too as it is VERY rare that I do that.
