Giving My Life a Makeover

Recently, something inside me just snapped. I realised that I am capable of so much but there I was, plodding along. I can be so much more but I don’t think I’ve been trying at all recently. It feels like all I do all I am is getting up, going to work, coming home, then sleep.

(I apologise if the last paragraph sounds really snotty and pretentious but I think that we all have the ability to go further and higher.)

So, lately, I have made a few changes.

The biggest change is that I will be leaving my current work place for a larger charity in a couple of weeks time. I am really sad to be leaving my wonderful team but also quietly excited about working for an organisation I have admired since childhood. Like I said, I really will miss my team/my friends but this is a change that I need. I need a fresh challenge. I need movement and I need space to grow.

Another big change I have made is that I am trying to lead a healthier lifestyle. I especially like this one as it is something I started to do without even realising. I’m happy with my body and size but I do realise that one day my bad diet will catch up with me. I have been walking home from work a few times a week (takes about two hours) and do a few sit ups here and there. I have even taken to lunching on rabbit food, as below:

Actually, I must admit it’s quite nice! It’s the Potato and Free Range Egg Side Salad from Waitrose. The salad cream sauce is delicious! I snack more on fresh and dried fruits and nuts and eat less chocolate and junk in general. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t forsaken my oil and grease entirely but small steps, right? I have also been hooked on Green Tea with honey, which has done wonders!

On the topic of green tea, my skin has been looking fabulous! I have implemented a skin routine which I follow almost to the letter. I had very vague routines before but now I am really seeing the benefits in actually listening to my skin and being very religious about it. It looks clearer and brighter but I do still get the odd hormonal break outs. I will do a separate post on my routine and some reviews.

The list is still quite short but I am pleased with the progress I have made so far. There are a few other things I am planning to do but planning doesn't holds as much weight as doing!

Here’s to striving for our goals and dreams, however big or small they may be!
