A Grand Return


I will not bore you with my apologies and excuses and instead jubilate with you in my return! (is jubilate a word? According to my spellchecker it is not but we shall on with the jubilation regardless!)
Now this is going to sound a bit weird (because I'm usually the most normal person on the internet... yeah right!) but I tend to make my "new years resolutions" in February. No I don't follow a religion that recognises the beginning of the new year in February or anything I just have this strange belief that I stick to my resolutions if they aren't your average 1st of January ones. I have a couple of theories to do with this that I shall list below and then I'll give you a run down of what the actual resolutions are.

I never ever ever stick to my New Years Resolutions. Ever. I reckon its something to do with the actually failing being less important. The majority of people do fail their resolutions, it's almost expected. But, a February Change Decision is much more personal. I set goals for myself or make changes and I stick to them because it's not a society-pressured resolution but rather a conscious decision to make a change.
For instance this year I want to lose 10kg. I know you're not supposed to set weight loss goals but I'm gonna do it anyway because stick it to the man. I obviously will make healthier lifestyle choices as a means to achieving this goal as well as giving myself some fitness targets. At the moment I'm loving Blogilates. She makes some excellent workout calendars and has fun, easy to follow workout videos.
(I'll post a whole bunch of links at the bottom of the page) She's also currently hosting a dietbet. If you don't know what dietbet is I'll link it below also but basically you pay (bet) to lose 4% of your weight but there's a forum and its incredibly social and everyone is very encouraging. It's a great environment for weight loss. I hope to see some of you there.

Another goal is to obviously keep on top of this blog. I really would like to start a channel with recipes and such and am just working up the courage to get behind a camera!

I want to do more (so someone please hire me so I can afford to do more!) and I want to document my life a lot more. I am very camera shy and so rarely document anything I do but I want to start snapping away more so I have a lot more memories to store away in scrapbooks.

I have other small changes I want to instigate but won't bother detailing them all here. I'm also getting behind Glitter Gives. If you don't know what this is about check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksv_FoT3Lw4 (I'm sure there was another video about this but I can't seem to find it. If I do I'll link it in the comments for you). I absolutely ADORE Louise Pentland and she really inspired me to help those less fortunate than myself (which, for all my grumbling, is a lot of people.) I haven't figured out the best way to do this yet so if you have any ideas let me know.

Now I rather think I've prattled on for long enough but I hope I've maybe inspired some of you to make your own February Changes (for the love of all things delicious can somebody please think of a better name for this as well!)

Keep Laughing
