‘New Year, New Me’

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hate New Year’s Eve. I find it completely over rated and since having a child I have enjoyed two New Years doing what I love the most… A takeaway and an early night! 

But! I LOVE New Year’s Day. Like any other day… It is an opportunity to have a fresh start. What’s done is done and you can draw a line and make the new day whatever you want it to be.

Two years ago, approximately 3 days after the above picture was taken, like every other 1st of January for the last 7 years or so of my life, I said to myself ‘I will get slim this year’. 

I don’t know why this year was different. I can’t pin point it, I do know that my daughter had given me a new found confidence and love of life though and that was a huge drive for me to better myself.

I think I spent a few weeks going it alone, trying to eat better, half heartedly excercising (still the case where this is concerned two years later 🙈)… Then I stumbled across slimming world!

I joined group and in short have never looked back. 

My New Years resolutions are to eat more meals at the table as a family, save some money and to do nicer things on my days off work with my little lady! 

There seems to be an ever increasing ‘new year’s resolution’ bashing on social media. But I encourage anyone who wants to make a change to just GO FOR IT.

Lastly, apologies for the awful quality, mega zoomed in picture at the top but I assure you it is me!
