Looking back at last years resolutions!

Hello and welcome back all you lovely people! As i was looking through previous posts on my blog I discovered my 2016 to do list that I made last year, so I thought it would be a pretty cool idea to re- look at these and see how many things I actually achieved! Although I'm going to be honest some of these appear on my 'to do list' every year and well....yeah they never happen whoops! It's the thought that counts right?

1) Loose Weight

The first thing on my list was to loose weight and well that never happened at all! I think I literally spent three quarters of the year eating junk food. I blew right back up to my biggest size ever and that was all through over indulging on takeaways and eating far to much on lunch at work! If it wasn't sharing pizza's or feaster burgers I would be eating cream cakes! Funny enough this one has appeared on my list again this year and so far I'm doing alright I've already lost 12 pound! Although my friends did give me funny looks in the canteen when I was sitting eating just boiled eggs with spinach lol!

FAIL

2) Save Money

Well this is something I truly suck at I can not save money to save my life. I do try but i always end up spending it before the months out where I don't budget myself properly. My motto for life is 'live for today sod tomorrow' but perhaps that saying where money is concerned isn't my brightest but it's true though. I love treating myself but maybe a bit to much I'm going to try harder this year! Although I did manage to get my Macbook Pro!

FAIL

3) Pass my Theory Test

YAY I actually achieved this! I am super proud of myself that I actually got round to doing this let alone pass it first time. I done my theory back in June and I'm really kicking myself that I hadn't done it sooner I was super nervous but it was totally fine.

ACHEIVED!!!!

4) To get a Promotion

Well well well who would have thought it I only went and achieved this! I'm still quite surprised and in shock that it actually happened but I'm super happy and loving it. Although to be honest I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for people believing in me which is something I'm still struggling with!

ACED

5) To do regular exercise

Well it is safe to say that I failed this miserably but to be fair to myself my job can be really strenuous and some days I literally come home from work and sleep where I am literally exhausted! I haven't even put this on my list year as I know too well it's never going to happen!

MISERABLE FAIL

6) Visit Newcastle

Well of course I achieved this one and I am so happy I did! I have even already booked up my adventure for this year which I am super excited about! I still haven't wrote about my time up there last year but I will most defiantly will!

ACHEIVED

7)  To say YES more!

To be fair to myself I have gone and done more this year then I ever would have before like when I went to Newcastle I done more then I usually would and experienced a lot more of the area and I went places and events or days out that i usually would have said no to because I was simply to scared I'd have a panic attack and do you know what I said yes every time and I was just fine!

IN PROGRESS

I really hope you have enjoyed this post as much as I did looking back and seeing how many of the things I actually did achieve that I wanted to, 2016 was a really good year for me I just hope 2017 can live up to it!

Lots of Love

New Years Resolutions

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be back in the blogging world it has been far to long since I have last posted, I have been super busy over the last few months and have had no time what so ever to blog. This year I am going to be posting a post every Sunday and Wednesday. Before I started to blog again I wanted to brainstorm some ideas for new posts. I hope you have all been well I can not believe we are in the middle of January already time is flying by! Christmas this year was lovely and I got spoilt rotten I will be posting about what I got soon, I know its late but it's better late then never!

Now that's over with and your all a bit more up to date, my first post is all about what new years resolutions I have made this year so I hope you all enjoy reading this!

1) To blog more and regularly

This is something I really struggle with as you know I can go months without blogging, sometimes because I have completely run out of ideas or majority of the time it's simply the fact that I haven't got the time now I work full time. I'm going to make myself more organised this year and have a proper schedule for posting.

2) Make a Youtube Channel

This is something I am dying to try out I have already got a channel but I literally made one post. This time I want to go all out and make it the best I can which is going to involve a lot of thinking and planning but I'm determined to get there.

3) To go abroad on holiday

This might sound like a strange one but believe it or not I have never been abroad and to be honest it hasn't ever been something I was particularly interested in until now. I really have the urge to go!!! At the moment I am really fancying the idea of Barcelona or Italy. Where would you guys recommend?

4) Loose Weight

Now this one appears every year but I really am determined this year I know I can do it! i've done it before it just takes a lot of patience and determination, and to be fair I have already lost 12lb and I only started last Wednesday!

5) Learn to drive

I am determined to pass my test this year it will be so much more freedom and it will be so lovely to go wherever I want with ease and not waiting around in the cold for buses or trains.

6) Save Money

This is another one that always appears on my new years resolutions and I fail miserably at but you never know I might actually achieve this.

7) Get a Boyfriend 

Well now this is cheesy but it's about time Mr Prince Charming comes out of hiding surely?!?! lol

I hope 2017 is good to you all and let me know what your resolutions are in the comments and don't forget to follow!

Lots of Love 

Soph
