Its not uncommon that when you hit the new year that the resolutions tend to revolve around creating a healthier lifestyle. I shared my general goals on Monday some of which included some health and fitness related things but in the year when I have decided its time to focus on me a little more I want to set some more specific goals for myself too. I turn 28 in 6 weeks and I am NOT going to be one of those people who battles in their last year of their 20's to create a healthy lifestyle.. better to start now and give myself some time. 

 Find an exercise I love

Be it a class, group activity or just giving running or yoga a try

Lose 10% of my body weight 

This is one of the first goals set by slimming world for you so I want to achieve this

Cooking / No takeaways / Fresh Cooking 

A general rule. No more takeaways. Back up things for lazy nights which are still on plan. Get more adventurous with cooking and try new recipes

Count Steps - Aim for 7500

I would like to work up to 10,000 a day but this can sometimes but hard due to a desk job. I have found myself getting up and walking about at least once an hour thanks to the activity tracker on my apple watch. I tend to average between 6000 - 8000 daily. I want to try and aim for 7500 and track it every day. 

Drink more water

I am really good at drinking water at work - in fact it is all I drink. However at home at the weekend I can go all day with no drink! Stop being lazy and drink up! Buy a bottle and aim for 2 a day! What I really would like is a HydrateM8 or Nativ Bottle - maybe one for work and one for home! I may just save myself some pennies and treat myself one day. 

Plan plan plan

Not only is my food better when I plan but my shopping bill comes down and I have actual things to make a meal from. I need to get back into the habit of sitting and writing a plan before I shop. 

As the year goes on I will provide updates and I will be sharing lots of foodie posts over on my instagram page @mybeautifulforever so head over there and check it out if your on there.
