Hello 2015.

This is my first post of 2015 and we are already 2 weeks (and a bit) into the year. This year is going to be very important to me, there are so many things I want to achieve and I know with all the support I have around me that I will achieve them. This year I want to reach target, I'm not dead on sure what I want my target weight to be. I'm ranging between 9st 7lb and 10st but not sure where, my consultant wants me on the stage this year being crowned Slimming Worlds 'Woman of The Year 2015' (a girl can dream right?) it would be amazing to even get a sniff of that opportunity. At Christmas I became a human disposal truck, I ate whatever I could which meant tubs of Roses etc YES I ATE THEM BY THE TUB, don't judge I did share. I wish I hadn't done so though as it meant me gaining a whopping 12lb, I have lost 7.5lb of that now but I still need to lose 4.5lb to get back to pre-christmas weight and means I'm now 5.5lb away from my 10 and a half stone award, which I was only 1lb away before I ate myself into a food coma over Christmas. I'm not going to dwell on it even if I do regret it, life happens. I'm excited to get it all off so I can start fresh and get to target!

Now we are in January it means this year I will be finishing my course and in 11 weeks time I'll be finishing my placement. I'm enjoying it so much, theres been a few bumps in the road but I've over come them just like I've over come everything else that's happened on the journey of getting where I am now. I'm going to have to do GCSE Maths for a year once I finish in order for me to get on to the Level 3 course but I'm willing to put all the hard work in because I want to one day own and run my own successful day nursery. It's my biggest dream and I know it will be the hardest and most stressful thing I will ever do but if I want to be successful then I will plow through it. I need to learn to stop worrying about things so much this year and stand up for myself and what I believe in. I think thats one of my main goals, I've always worried about what people think of me and what they might say but I need to keep telling myself I'm okay with me so everybody else should be too and if they are not okay with me, then that's their bloody problem! Not mine.

I turn 24 this year, that's quite scary. But it's ages away yet. I want to try new things, whether that be making new slimming world recipes or going different places and doing different activities. I'll have been with Ashley for 2 years in July too which is exciting, he's my longest boyfriend EVER. I'm aiming to get to target for August so we can enjoy our first holiday in the sun together :) I'm still so very much in love with him and very very happy. I've seen so much of him lately too which has been absolutely amazing. I'm also getting to see him tomorrow too, which makes me extremely happy! I promised him slimming world bacon burgers with bbq relish for tea, it's awesome that he likes the slimming world meals I make. It makes him really supportive as we love cooking together and making a moohassive bomb site of the kitchen.

I'll be doing a post on the things I love to eat on slimming world (whether it be boxed or packet) when I get a chance. I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and New Year and are ready to grab 2015 by the balls and make it yours!
