2015 and what i hope it will bring!

2015 is now here properly! We are 5 days in and I am back at work much to my dismay!

Although part of me wishes I could rewind time by 3 weeks and it would be the 15^th December, my 16 days off would be coming up and Christmas would still be here and the room wouldn’t feel so naked without the decorations and lights! I am however excited to move forward into this year because I think this year will be a BIG BIG year or change.

I saw this image earlier and it really stood out to me. 2013 was my first year of working, 2014 was the year where I started to get my shit together. I started to plan for the future and I started to save money and then 2015 will be the year I pay off my debt and start some savings and the year where I move out and get my own space and I really cannot wait!

I haven’t really got any resolutions this year. Usually every year it is lose weight lose weight, but I hit well below my target weight back in November so what I want is to maintain my weight and keep at the gym.

The main things I want to work on are:

Loving myself. 

My confidence is non-existent. I still feel exactly as I did 2 years ago before I lost weight. I put myself down and hold myself back because I feel down about my appearance. I don’t like photos of myself because I look so much smaller in them than what I see in the mirror. And this is sad and not right and I need to work on this mentally. I want to just be happy…. I want to just feel like a million dollars every day and I know it will be hard because I got confidence boosts from losing weight. Now I need to find it within myself.

Working on my design work

I want to work on some new designs and get perhaps some more greetings card made up and sold. This is something I want to work on but there are a few bigger things I want to concentrate on this year and that I will have to save my money up for!

Debt, 

this is my next big one. I have paid off around £6,000 last year and a bit the year before. I have just over £3,000 to go and I already have about a quarter to towards this! Once we have paid all this off we will be on track to moving out, which is my next big thing.

Having my own home!

We have been working on moving out for the last few years and 2014 we were really focused. We can afford to move but I want to do it debt free so I am going to pay all my debt off and save enough money to pay for my deposit. I have started collecting bits in the sales (bought all my Christmas decorations haha priorities first huh?).

So I am excited for this year to move forward and I can’t wait to spend next Christmas in my own place! Just me and Matt.

I hope 2015 is full of joy for everyone and I hope it is the year for me and Matt!
