Half way through the year, half the year to go!

Life has been quiet of late and we are now well and truly half way through the year. Yet again that is terrifying as I do not know where the time went. Goodness me. I have some slightly sad news, I wrote back in March about an amazing opportunity I had to go to Singapore. Unfortunately due to circumstances changing we have had to cancel that trip. It is a real shame as I was really looking forward to going somewhere completely different and having a whole new experience. However it isn’t going to happen now and Matt and I are back on the path of saving up to go to Florida instead again.

Other than that I thought it would be a good time to reflect on the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year,.

Saving for a once in a life time holiday

So I guess this hasn’t exactly happened as I stated above. We were planning on saving for Florida but as I said above with the trip to Singapore we stopped… however back to it now.

Making sure I enjoy my free time and get out and do more

I’ve been not too bad at this. I have been out and about much more than last year and now I don’t have to save for Singapore anymore so we will be going to Hyper Japan and other similar events so I am looking forward to that! I went out with some friends after work too a few weeks ago and plan to do the same in August so I am looking forward to that.

 Continuing with the self love!

This has not been so great this year. I think this year I have struggled with this more than the previous year. I haven’t really shifted the weight I put on at Christmas. I know it isn’t much and a few pounds really don’t make much of a difference but I still seem to beat myself up about it. I makes me forget what I have achieved when I am in this sort of slump. But I am trying, some days I can feel my generally attitude changing so I just need to keep working on it. As I have always said it is a lifelong battle and hopefully with each year it will improve.

Heck as a reminder I found this old picture from 4 years ago today and that really reminds me of how far I have come. 

However sad I may be that my holiday isn’t happening anymore, I do still however have lots planned for the year. Comic con at the end of the month and a whole week off work. I then have some shows in the autumn and the NFL. Shortly followed by a trip to Birmingham to Destination Star Trek for my birthday. I plan to fill my summer with nice things to do too. Perhaps some trips to the coast and maybe even a weekend break if we can squeeze that in!

This year is certainly quieter and less life changing than previous years, but so far 2016 has been going well and I hope it continues!
