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.
Have you made any health and fitness goals for this year? Comment below :)

Happy New Year!
I know...I know its all very cliché to post one of these posts but I do love a good new year post! I can't help love the fresh new start that a year brings and I do love to set myself some goals for he new year. I had the word resolutions - I don't want to say resolutions because when you think of new years resolutions you think of something that does not last past the first 2 weeks of January!
So 2017.. I have sat myself down and given myself a good talking to. I have decided that 2017 is going to be the year I get my s**t together! In general... all of me! I want to get to get more organised in my day job, want to get more organised with my guide and rainbow group, I want to start power dressing for work! Everything is gonna get more organised up in here.
Heres a few other goals I want to achieve in 2017...
Find an exercise that I love
I really want to find an exercise class or something that I can do on a weekly basis - something that will fit in to my busy day life.
Read More
This appears on my list every year! I have a bookshelf of books.. I need to read them!
Bring my A Game with my Business
I feel like this year my business has gone through up's and downs - I love working this business on the sideline of our day jobs and I want to get more involved.
Work on me
As part of the above, working the business has helped to work on me! I want to get more confident, learn more skills and keep developing myself.
Lose 5 stone
This sounds a lot but its what I need to lose (at least). This would be a pound and a half a week so I want to try an kick some butt with it!
Sort of my skincare regime
Find products which suit me (I have quite a few I love) and sort a routine and stick to it!
Track my steps - aim for 10,000 a day!
Now I have my lovely Apple watch there is no excuse! Aim high and achieve!
Blog More
I am finding myself falling back in love with my blog again - its not that I have ever fell out of love with it but I have found myself feeling more like blogging more! I haven't felt like this for such a long time so fingers crossed :)
What are your goals for 2017! What do you want to achieve??

Today I wanted to write a post inspired by a recent video of the lovely Estée (aka Essie Button previously) who posted THIS video on her channel this week.
I've said before there are not enough hours in the day but I there are so many things that you always want to make more time for. Today I want to share with you some of things I want to make more time for:
Exercise
Me and Adam have had gm memberships for around 3 months now and I don't think I could even tell you the last time we went. I want to make time in the week (time when I would otherwise be sat in front of the TV. The silly thing is I actually enjoy the gym when I get there it is just dragging my butt there...
Reading
I have a book shelf full of books I have never read. I want to read them. I want to get passionate about reading again. Even if it is just 15 minutes a day before bed I want to pick up a book. Let me know if you can recommend any good ones?
Cooking
Since I moved out I've got into cooking more than I did when I lived at home. Over the past couple of months I have been experimenting more and more with new meals. I want to continue to try different things instead of just going for the same quick options when we get in from work.
Blogging
Again something I've said many times. Even if I just pop on for 10 minutes a day and update you all on whats going on. I don't want this to be a place I don't update you on! Especially over the next 12 months or so, they are going to be very exciting what with the lead up to the wedding and then the honeymoon and then obviously we will have our first year as a married couple! I want to document all of this!
Being Offline
Adam and I made a deal that we would have date night once a week. This is usually a monday but if we are both busy like we were this week we pick another night. This doesn't have to be a night where we go out. It may just be a night where we curl up and watch a movie putting our phones and laptops down. However on other nights we get in the habit of sitting with our laptops on different sofas! More offline time (which would obviously make #2 easier)
I think 5 things is enough to go at for now. I want to work on these between now and the end of the year and then have a look at them again. As my life is reaching a new stage, I need to change the way I am doing things. So I am hoping this will kick start that!
