Feeling Blue.. Holiday blues, Monday blues BUT there is a postive note ;-)

Its Monday, I dont really like mondays!! I am having a case of holiday blues today having been home a week now from a sunny week in Majorca with my family, it seems but a distant memory of quality time with my prized possessions that are my 3 nieces. "Feeling Blue.. Holiday blues, Monday blues,Weight blues" So I am missing my sunny spain, and I am in work which is very quiet as I work in a school.The majority of my colleagues are on their school holidays. I work All Year Round and cover the Finance/Admin side of things throughout the whole 52 weeks of a year. Also, I have weigh in this evening and I really hoped to lose the 2lb that I gained last week whilst I was on a weeks all inclusive but I have struggled, I think dieting is taking over my life and I am constantly thinking of where I want to be and that I want it NOW. Basically I think i need to reasses the plan and where I want to be and realise rather than self sabbotage to take the time. Its not a race and I will get there in time. Even though I say all this about not a race blah blah I have given myself a year to do this.. a year to lose 94lbs!!! I am obsessed with pinterest and all the clothes I COULD FIT INTO. Also the green eyed monster in me rears from time to time when I see people in gorgeous clothes and I just think why cant I be wearing that outfit???? On a postive note though.. I went shopping the other day, I love shopping but not clothes shopping as I often get frustrated with what doesnt fit, I cant express how giddy I was when I went into a shop and managed to buy 4 items in a size smaller, so that made me feel happy as it wasnt a fluke to fit into an item as I managed to fit into them all. One of the items was a red dress for my brothers wedding in 4 weeks. 2 things to shout about here.. a size smaller and a bright colour normally my colour of choice is black!! I am off to class soon and hopefully the scales wont be toooooooo bad, if I get chance I will update the result this eve. If not till next I will bid you ADIOS ;-)

Who am I and why am I writing a blog?

Hi Everyone

My name is Sarah Willoughby aged 32 & 6 months and I am from Bradford, West Yorkshire (England)

I am writing this blog as I love reading ANYTHING, books ( I am on my 18th book of the year) , magazines, blogs pretty much anything and I decided I wouldnt mind giving this blog malarky ago myself.

I have heard that writing a blog is quite theraputic which I can believe as I often find it is easier to write what I want to say rather than say it out loud, just check my phone history its very rare I ring people more often I use some form of social media or text messages to communicate.

I have many interests but I do get bored/distracted quite easily but hopefully this wont be my only post on here. In fact I am going to put a reminder on my calender for a months time to ensure I have continued to blog! (DONE)

My main purpose of this is because in my head I have a few things I would like to achieve throughout the next 12 months and I hope this blog will keep me on track to achieve my goals.

Goal 1
I am overweight & currently follow the Slimming World plan alongside going to the gym - My weigh in day is a Monday so I aim to blog on a Monday with an update and then a Thursday or Friday if not more.
I need to lose a total of 98 pounds to get to target, so far my loss is 21 pounds (although my weigh in with slimming world is about -10 pounds as I started a fresh) it is a slow loss I am definietly taking the scenic route ;-(

Goal 2
I would like to by my own property within the next year, I am currently obsesses with zoopla/rightmove and pinterest.

Goal 3
I am ready to settle down now, I have had a few failed relationships I dont have children. Just a dog called George and a cat called Millie - There was no intention to the likening of the infamout George and Mildred!
I always tell people I dont want children, that is part truth. I dont have a burning desire or a clock that is ticking however who wouldnt deep down want the whole husband home children shabang??
I often find that if I find someone attractive as soon as it appears to be mutual a wall shoots up in between us and I panic!! Stupid I know, my fave quote is LIVE LAUGH LOVE & Life is too short. Its about time I started believing and instilling these quotes into my life.

Goal 4
These are more challenges or maybe even bucket list items:
Get to goal
Own a Michael kors watch and bag
Sky Dive
Learn to run and achieve a 5k then a 10k
Something like tough mudder or spartan race
Visit many cities ie Amsterdam, Prague, Paris, NYC, Viva Las Vegas
Do a South African Safari

I think that gives a bit of an insight to what I want to achieve and I will do another blog more about the day to day me very soon.
I hope I havent bored you and if your interested in reading more I will see you soon.

Lots of Love till next time .. have a nice day xxx
