So here are my new years resolutions:
Starting a blog about the main things that feature in my life. I can't categorize them because they are so varied, but they are the things that I feel passionate about - some more than others - but they have a fairly major effect on my life anyway.
To become a vegetarian. Now this is something that I have thought about doing for a long time but always making the excuse that it is too difficult. However after reading zen habits blog (zenhabits.net), he has inspired me to become a vegetarian and I now feel confident enough to start the process. It's also easier because I'm at University and only have to cook for myself. Eventually I would like to become a vegan but it's going to be a lengthy process so to start with I want to be a vegetarian by the end of the year. It's not because I hate the thought of killing animals or anything or because I don't like meat (because I do), but it's more for the health benefits, meaning that I could lead a healthier and longer life, providing I eat a balanced diet.
To be able to run a 5k race. Initially I was thinking 10k but I know that 5k is much more achievable. The race in my home city is on the 11th July 2010 (the race for life) so I will book into that soon and I'll get running! (Just so you know right now I can't even run a mile so there is definitely some work to do) This was again inspired from Zen Habits, guys I really do suggest you have a look at his blog and sign up to his newsletter because I find him really inspiring.
To get a 1st at uni and to get an absolutely fantastic work placement. So far a 1st is achievable but I need to keep up the motivation. I really need to get on with my placement search - I am doing a 4 year course and the 3rd year is a years placement in industry so I need to get on top of my applications.
To become a top shop size 8. This may seem a little odd that its topshop but their sizing is quite small, but at any rate I have got the measurements off their website as to what a size 8 in so I am trying to slim down. I may start posting my diet diaries on here (me and my best friend have been sending each other emails every night of what we have eaten and what exercise we done and how we feel about it, and its actually a really good motivator, because if you have had a bad day you don't feel like giving up. Its also a bit of light competition :) ). I am currently a size 10/12 depending on where you shop (although according to topshops measurements my bum is a size 14 - which it isn't), but I have quite a small chest - a size 8 chest in fact (god talk about pear shaped), and as my boobs haven't grown since I was 13, I have decided that I want to be in proportion and therefore the only way to do that is to loose weight off the rest of my body. I also want a bikini body so that I would feel quite confident walking down the beach in front of loads of people my age because I know I look fabulous.
I want to do some blogs on motivation, because again zen habits has motivated me to do this which is good! Just on how I am motivating myself to stick to all of this stuff I say I'm going to do.
I want to do some book reviews, more how to books and the likes rather than fiction, so that you guys know what the best books are. I love reading and getting books, in fact I suppose it's what I collect. I may also do a few product reviews for things that I really love and things that I really hate *cough* dell laptops *cough*.
I want to expand my wardrobe and become more stylish because at the moment I'm really not, well I mean I have clothes that work well together and I look nice but its very limited. I own one coat and one handbag which kind of says it all really. I want to be fashionable and look nice all of the time - especially when I get my beach babe body.
I need to complete a pan 10 (well more like a pan 50 probably). A pan 10 is something i heard from lollipop26 (http://www.lollipop26writes.com/). Basically you use up all of the products that you have before you buy any more. Lollipop26 has a slight obsession with make up, so her aim was to use up 10 makeup items before she bought any more (the pan bit coming from being able to see than metal pan of the makeup item - but she is doing it so that the item is literally completely finished). While I don't have an excessive amount of make up, I do have wayyyy to many toiletries collected over the Christmas's and birthdays, such as moisturiser etc. I have way too much of the stuff, and it isn't helped by the fact that I probably moisturise once every two week (like full body) so I need to use it up, but I suppose a bonus point is that I'll have nice smooth skin.
So those are my new years resolutions so far. Getting fit and eating better are in there like everybody elses but because I working towards something I think that they are more achievable that way. I really do think that this is the key to success - having a goal to reach, else how do you know when you have succeded? But anyway I will do some posts over the next few weeks about my resolutions in more detail, detailing my weight and progress with that, and placement search and how I'm going to cut meat out of my diet etc and list all of my pan 10 (or however many products it is) etc etc. Speak to you soon anyway!
Much love,
Miss Multiplicity xXx
