I'm 'working' (if you can call it that!) tomorrow and Thursday... but it involves feeding some lovely cats and giving belly rubs, so I'm not sure it counts!

Have a lovely Christmas Earthie and a relaxing time - I hope you'll manage a walk on the beach at some point? I shall be thinking of you doing that!

Have a happy Christmas xx

Thank you for all of the wishes for Christmas. It was a lovely time on the whole and it was great to see family that we son't often see. We were really all spoilt with presents as we were hosting, so I will redistribute some of these gifts.

We had yesterday just relaxing and I'm working online a little this morning, then we will go for a walk and get some fresh air this afternoon.

I like this relaxing time, but part of me is looking forward to getting back to normal.

Whilst I'm waiting to start work, I have been looking at the goals I set for 2019 and I'm quite pleased overall!

So my goals for 2020 must be around health for me. I'm turning 40 this year, I'm the heaviest and most unfit that I have ever been. Since my summer epiphany, I've been striving for more balance in my life and the effort I put into being healthy is seriously lacking. I'm not being too hard on myself I know I'm doing great elsewhere in life, but putting everyone else first is definitely affecting my health.

So goals for 2020:

Health
Reduce sugar intake for whole family
Healthy balanced diet
Healthy level of hydration (2l per day)
3 times per week strength training
10,000 steps per day
beach walks twice per week

Joy
Regular family time
Regular couple time
Regular meet ups with friends (adults and kids)

Finance
Have an easy to monitor budget in place
Continue to reduce costs whilst being environmentally conscious.

Achieving
System for Kids learning/homework
More organised at work

Responsible
Continue to support charities
Continue to reduce impact on environment

I do admire it when people manage to do a detailed review of their previous year's goals. Lovely to be able to build on them all
