Here we go the last pay day wish list of 2025, how quick has this year gone! The items I purchase within this pay period are going to reflect how I want 2026 to go, items bought will be upgrades to help me achieve those goals I am setting for myself in 2026. I am also bringing in the new rule of limiting what I spend to increase the amount I am saving going forward so I am putting that into practice now rather than waiting until the first pay day of 2026 to get that going. There are a fair few items on this list so whether I get them all remains to be seen but we shall see how things go, here is what I am hoping to pick up with my final pay of 2025...

Boxing mitts

I am heading back to boxing in 2026 and I really can't wait. I have really missed the sessions so I am looking forward to getting into a routine with them and seeing how it helps shape my fitness journey in the new year. I want to pick up a decent set of mitts to go with my gloves for my return as it is just more comfortable in your own equipment. I have set a budget for these so let's see if I can stick to it.

With me going back boxing I could really use a bag that I am going to be able to fit everything in for a change. I need to find something big enough for my gloves, mitts and a drink at least as my old bag struggles to fit just my gloves in. Again I am hoping I can find something big enough at a reasonable price. 

Nike Metcon's

I am upping my workouts in 2026 and the plan is to make sure I am also wearing the correct footwear whilst doing the workouts to ensure I am less likely to get injured due to wearing the incorrect footwear. I have had my eyes on the Metcon's for a while now so I am hoping that I can get some at a good price in the boxing day sales or from a local outlet.

Garmin Watch 

My Apple watch is on its way out, it is not tracking properly and keeps crashing so after far too many years it is time for an upgrade. The plan is to use some money this month to purchase a Garmin watch to help me keep a close eye on what I am doing and how I am recovering in 2026. I am unsure which model I want to purchase yet so it is time to do some research and see which model is best suited for me.

Chelsea Boots

I have mentioned a few times now about how 2026 is going to be finding myself and upgrading my life and this is going to mean a few upgrades are being made. I really want to pick up a nice pair of Chelsea boots with this months pay which are going to last me a while as my previous ones are starting to look worn and scuffed beyond repair. The hunt is on to find myself that perfect pair.

Katie Loxton Bag

I keep saying I am going to get myself a Katie Loxton bag however, I get overwhelmed and don't end up getting one. I am hoping I can finally find a bag that is best suited to the style I am opting for in 2026 that isn't going to cost me a small fortune. I am so used to just throwing everything into a cheap backpack however, the upgrade is long overdue and it is time for something a whole lot smarter. 

Move Money into Goal Shop Savings

I am determined to really build my savings amount in 2026 and with some of December's pay I want to make a start on building my goal shop savings. This amount is being built up so that when I hit my goal weight I can go out and buy an all new wardrobe without using all my wage for that month. With how things are going I might be able to have a full on shopping spree with the amount I have saved by the time I hit the goal weight and I should be able to purchase some great quality pieces with that money too.

Move Money into Watch Savings

There may be a watch purchase on the horizon for 2026 if things go to plan so I am going to start saving for it nice and early. This is going to be a big purchase and every spare penny will be going towards it so let's see if we can build these savings up and make the big purchase in 2026.

So there you go there is my December pay day wish list, let's see just what gets purchased and what I realise I don't need. 

See you soon
