I have been a very, very naughty blogger. I have neglected you and I am sorry. Why have I abandoned you? Quite simply the crazy season was crazy and every minute I wasn’t committed to cooking, cleaning, celebrating, catching up or other such activities I was reading the Harry Potter series. I managed to finish the last book before the New Year.
I also realise I seriously owe you some 52 Books in 52 Weeks posts. I will get them done. Basically I am behind because I was reading too much and seriously surpassed my goal.
Let’s talk about resolutions… did you make any? I have done some over the past few years which were more like goals rather than resolutions and I will be keeping some of the ones from last year. So here are my goals for 2016…
- 52 Books in 52 Weeks – yup, here we go again. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy this, but I need to get better with my planning and posting. I was doing well last year until about half way through and then it all fell to pieces LOL.
- Try new things – I have really enjoyed this and haven’t done as much of it in 2015 as I should have so I am bringing this back with a vengeance. I do often tie this in to trying new foods (particularly healthy foods) which is a great thing, but I want to get some more activity things in there too in 2016.
- Healthy lifestyle – This is something that one constantly works towards I think. It is a choice you make each day. Hubby was good enough to gift me the Garmin tracker I asked for so my first goal for 2016 health wise is to keep my steps up each day. I have also been chatting to a friend at work and may have talked her into joining the work gym and being my gym buddy… we’ll see what happens there. Sadly I gym better when my commitment has been made to someone else rather than myself. I am also going to explore more foods, ways of cooking and preparing and organising my meals better.
- Get knocked up – This is probably my biggest goal for 2016. Someway, somehow I want to be knocked up by years end. I don’t think this is too much to ask really is it? This means more to me than pretty much everything apart from my family. Please let this be my year. Fingers crossed.
What goals have you set yourself this year?

Oh wow 52 books in 52 weeks, There’s a goal there 🙂

Surely is, I have managed it the past two years. On to year 3. It is amazing because I also stretch my reading habits and try things I wouldn’t normally which sometimes has surprisingly good results. Although the last one I read was terrible, absolute rubbish and I skimmed the whole 2nd half of the book, but that is the exception to the rule I feel 🙂

I used to read a lot of books, but not as much anymore, dunno why but it hasn’t kept me interested like it used to :-\

I realised that even though I am a librarian I rarely read for myself anymore and thought that was sad because love of the written word was what inspired me to become a librarian. That was the reason I created the challenge to start with 🙂

Sending a fist bump for staying true to it 😀
January 6th, 2016 at 12:49 pm
Thanks. I won’t lie, it is hard sometimes 🙂
January 6th, 2016 at 1:11 pm
You know that saying 😉

Aside from your book goal, mine are pretty much the same! I’m weird about reading…I’ll go through phases where I can’t get enough of reading, and then I’ll fall off the wagon for a few months. I haven’t read in at least 3 months now
I need to find my motivation to try to start getting in shape and living a healthier lifestyle as well. You’d think TTC would be enough motivation, but that seems to weigh down my emotions and make me pretty unmotivated actually. Maybe I just need someone to beat some sense into me lol!
January 6th, 2016 at 12:31 pm
Oh my god I am exactly the same. The emotions… all the feels… they get you so down and you have no energy to do much but exist. I did start a shake diet at the beginning of the year, but I am starting to think it is too low calorie. I currently have that sick empty feeling in my stomach… you know the one? Usually ends in you eating too much? So I seriously need to do some thinking about the eating stuff. We need to get that FB group going. 🙂

Yeah I know. I don’t know what’s going to finally going to push me over the edge, but I feel like maybe what I saw when I inspected of myself in the mirror this morning may have helped

Today I have gone to the extreme of writing “BB” on my hand so whenever I start thinking of bad food I look at it and have a constant reminder of why I need to make the right choice.
January 6th, 2016 at 12:32 pm
Hoping this is your year to get knocked up too! I have high hopes it will be!
January 6th, 2016 at 12:32 pm
Thanks 🙂
January 6th, 2016 at 1:09 pm
I love all your 2016 goals! I should follow your lead and read 52 books in 52 weeks! I have high hopes for you this year! ☺
January 7th, 2016 at 2:36 pm
Thanks so much. I am pretty happy with them. Gotta keep that hope going 🙂
January 6th, 2016 at 1:47 pm
Crossing my fingers that this is your year too. No goals for me really, just getting to the birth fit and READY to have the most amazing birth possible. 🙂
January 7th, 2016 at 2:37 pm
I wish all those things for you too! 🙂
January 6th, 2016 at 6:36 pm
Hoping the best hope for you getting knocked up 🙂
January 7th, 2016 at 2:39 pm
Thank you 🙂
January 6th, 2016 at 9:52 pm
Best wishes for all of that and fingers crossed for the Bub xxx

I’m also trying to read a book a week. I’m much happier when reading is a big part of my life.
January 7th, 2016 at 2:42 pm
It’s a great challenge. Some weeks are harder than others, but it is totally worth it 🙂
January 7th, 2016 at 2:51 am
Fingers crossed for your goals! Definitely hoping you find yourself KU
January 7th, 2016 at 2:42 pm
Thank you. I love that everyone is hoping I get knocked up 🙂 So awesome!
