Obviously as we are nearly at the end of January now, I am late to the 2018 goals post.. however for kicks (and so they are written down somewhere) I thought I would do it anyway.
At nearly 7 months pregnant, my goals are not your typical ones for January... theres still all the things you would expect on there but with a twist
Healthy Eating
Although my main goal until after baby is born is not to lose any weight, I have continued with slimming world throughout my pregnancy and am maintaining my weight well (in fact i am still 5 pounds lighter than I was when I found out I was pregnant). My reason for carrying on with Slimming World while pregnant was not because it is my intention to drop weight while pregnant, I however did not want to be 2 or 3 stone heavier at the end of my pregnancy than I was when I started.
Meal planning
Normally I am really good with meal planning, however over the last couple of months I haven’t been as good as I was. I tend to plan all our meals for the week before I go food shopping then do my food shop based on what we are eating for the week. We have started using muscle food to order our meat from (which has been fab - separate review to follow) so a trip to the supermarket just means getting the essentials. It helps save pennies in the long run as it means we are not throwing away lots of unwanted food away.
No unnecessary spending
With impending maternity leave just around the corner (10 weeks and counting) I am on a mission to try and save the pennies as much as we can. Although pretty good compared with some work places, its still going to be tight for us while I am on maternity leave which means cutting back on unnecessary spending like coffees at work, not taking lunch, no takeaways etc.
Self Care and Mindset
Big changes occurring in the future and I want to make sure that while everything else is going on, I take the time to look after myself too. I've got a couple of books on Mindset and will be making sure I take the time to myself, even if it is just for 5 or 10 minutes.

This seems to have been on my list for the last 2 or 3 years now and I think I am yet to get through even 1 book every couple of months let alone 1 per month. I am vowing to myself to read at least 1 book per month this year!
Proper skincare routine
Again another one I want to get nailed before little miss arrives. I really need to get in a better skincare routine. I have got into a terrible habit of taking my makeup off using micellar water and although not as bad as a makeup wipe, I have stacks of hot cloth cleanser in my stash which I need to get into the habit of using. Plus as I am slowly approaching 30 (13 months to go) I want to start establishing a better skin care routine.
What are your goals for 2018??
