The changes I want to make to the home gym

Well I am no longer a member of a gym. Due to me not wanting to travel to the gym which meant missing sessions I have decided to cancel my membership and start using the home gym for all my sessions going forward. After a few sessions in there I have decided that I want to make some improvements to equipment to ensure I can make the progress I need, Liam is also going to be using the space going forward so I need to make sure it has pieces in there that we will both use and not leave gathering dust. Currently we have a lot of pieces just sat around that we may as well get rid of and use the new found space to add pieces we will benefit from.

The space we will be working with isn't huge but it is just right for us currently. With this being the only place for me to work out now though I need to sort the lighting, now we have electric in the space the torch light can go and I can finally get a proper light in here. We also have a heater to install that my dad kindly gave us just to battle any damp and those cold night sessions.

So onto the upgrades, at the moment we are using cheap vinyl weights however, I would really love to pick up the Nike weights and barbells, these just look like great quality and will just add a bit of colour to the dark space and would look good when I start filming workouts. To go with the weights I would love a squat rack, granted this couldn't be huge due to the space I have to play with but it would definitely be a worthwhile piece of equipment for us both. To go with the squat rack I need to pick up a proper bench, not like the one I currently have which doesn't actually go flat. This doesn't have to be a big expensive but it will be a worthwhile one. If space allowed and if I could find a way to put it on the wall safely I would also love to add a cable pulley to the weights section as I am missing this from the workouts already.

Now onto the cardio section where some upgrades are certainly required. The treadmill we have currently was just a cheap quick fix so that I had one for my 10K training so I am now wanting to upgrade this to something a bit better quality. I am also looking at replacing our broken bike with a smart one where I can link up an app for tracking my rides and progress, this is a bit of a strange one but I feel like I am slowly getting into cycling and I think it could do my knee the world of good. A new rowing machine would be perfect for Liam too, one like they have in the gyms not like the one we have now with the bar restricting movement. The final upgrade to the cardio section I want to make is adding a Ski Erg, I have wanted one of these for a long time now but it will only be if space allows.

Outside of the gym I would really love to add a pergola to the side and into out garden so we can extend the base out a little and make use of the space. In this space I would add my ice bath so it is with all the workout gear and possibly even a sauna if money allows in the future. I could even add my boxing bits out here to free up some indoor space too.

I would love to upgrade the gym structure in the future however, I feel now I am using it the space is just what I need, I don't need to go overboard, I just need to use what we have got. For now though it is time to get in here more often, use what we already have and make some progress towards my goals. 

See you soon

New series : Operation level up

 

I feel like it is time to start documenting my journey on here so that in the future I can look back and see just how far things have gone for me. If I want to see the growth and gain opportunities I need to knuckle down now and I am really hoping this series could be a way of holding myself accountable and really see me progress on the journey going forward. I am really looking forward to doing these posts weekly and here is what each post is going to include...

A wrap up of blog posts posted - This will be all that I post across all 3 of my websites and how I feel about each one that I have done. I am hoping that there will be a lot of these to talk about each week so let's see how it goes.

Instagram favourites - This will be a pick of my best performing posts across my accounts. I am looking forward to seeing what works for me across the accounts and what isn't doing too well.

Stats and any changes - I will be posting the amount of followers on each account and how they are changing weekly which will give me an insight into what I need to change or do more of.

What went well - This will wrap up everything that went well and what I am proud of from the week. This could be a plan of action I had, an opportunity that has risen or anything I am happy with. I am hoping that there is plenty in this section each week.

What went wrong - I am hoping this section is a whole lot smaller than the what went well section so I can see the progress taking shape however, it is inevitable that something is going to go wrong let's just hope it is not too much in one go.

What I can improve on - This is going to be a recap of the whole week and a deep dive into things that I can do much better to make that progress in the right direction at last. I am looking forward to doing this section and looking back on the changes I have made and the difference it is making.

Things that have happened during the week - This will be a general wrap up for things I have done during the week, day trips, workouts you name it this won't just be a highlight reel it will be real life.

How I feel about things going into the new week - I will be using this section to reflect on the past week and think about how I feel heading into the new week ahead, am I feeling positive?Worn out? This is where I will be being honest and looking ahead.

Goals for the new week - Now I won't be setting a massive amount of goals each week as I don't want to put too much pressure on myself as things get going however, I will be setting goals that are hopefully going to help me lock in and see progress.

So that is what the series is going to be covering and I guess today is the starting point so to get things going here are the current followers stats for the accounts I am locking in on...

Personal Instagram - 911

Personal TikTok - 348

Football Instagram - 642

Football TikTok - 212

Gaming Instagram - 955

Gaming TikTok - 66

I guess I am not at a bad starting point and with a bit of consistency I should hopefully be seeing these numbers grow, I am looking forward to knuckling down and creating more for these and hopefully seeing a difference going forward.

 So here are the goals I am setting for the week ahead...

> Post on this website 3 times

> Post on gaming site 2 times

> Post on football site 2 times 

> Sort out list of equipment I want to purchase for content creation

> Reach out to a brand about an EOTA collaboration

> Show up on Instagram stories daily across all accounts

I am really looking forward to seeing just how much I can get through this week and hopefully I can hit the ground running in building not only these sites but also making a start on creating my dream life, there is a long way to go but it isn't impossible. 

Let's do this.

See you soon

Some rewards I will be picking up when I hit my goals

As I work towards my goals I thought it would be fun to make a little list of rewards that I can use to make working towards those goals that bit more fun. Working towards goals can be a lot of hard work and showing up even when you don't want to so having a little treat at the end of it is a good way of making sure you keep on putting the effort in to achieve these goals and get them ticked off once and for all. 

I am working towards a lot of goals at the moment and let's just say there are goals within all aspects of my life however, when it has come to picking the rewards for hitting goals I have tried to keep them as useful items for the outcomes of the goals. So here are some of the items I am currently looking at picking up as rewards when them all important goals are hit...


Dji Osmo Pocket

I was planning on getting the Osmo Pocket 4 however, I think by the time I have earned this reward number 4 may be out. Once the Pocket 4 has been released I will definitely be looking into the product to see if it is worth buying over the 3 and it will be one of the first rewards I pick up as it is going to be a super useful piece of equipment for future projects.


Camera

Once a goal or two is ticked off and I can warrant investing a big chunk of money into a new camera I will be finally biting the bullet and getting myself that camera to help me when it comes to my content creation. My current camera just doesn't cut it any more so this reward is hopefully going to help me when it comes to improving the quality on my social media and websites.

iPad Pro

I have finally settled on which iPad I really want to get and I am going to be opting for the Pro however, my plan is to again pick this up once the hard work begins to pay off rather than just buying it straight away. This would be to help with content creating so I need to make sure I am locked in and actually creating before purchasing it as it is a pretty big cost to be paying out if it isn't actually going to be a useful piece of equipment.

Gaming PC

This is a bit of a niche one but if I can lock in and grow my gaming site as I hope to then a reward is going to be a brand new gaming PC. I miss playing on the PC and I have a whole host of unplayed games as my current PC just can't handle the demand so the goal is to build the gaming site, bring in opportunities and eventually upgrade the gaming PC when the numbers I am setting for myself have been met.

Trainers

One of my rewards of course has to include a good pair of trainers, I am thinking along the lines of Jordan's as there are a few pairs I have had my eye on for a while now. Jordan's are still not cheap so I don't like just buying them for the sake of it so these will be a perfect reward for ticking off a goal. The pair I want currently may be the one I actually buy however, by the time I tick off a goal it might be a case of another pair being out that I like.

Coach Backpack

For games I am attending where I need to take equipment or other events I would love a nice backpack to put things in and currently I am after a nice Coach backpack but again these aren't cheap so I am going to work towards a goal and when I hit it I will be treating myself to one of these backpacks which I guess is helpful as I will have time to save up for it as I work towards the goals.

Coach Card Holder

Alongside the Coach backpack I have also fallen in love with a Coach card holder which again is on the pricey side of things so I will be using this purchase as a reward for hard work paying off. This would certainly be a useful reward especially if I start heading to more games as it means I could swap out the bulky wallet and streamline the cards I am taking with me week after week. Plus it looks really nice which is always a good bonus.

Hugo Boss Watch

I feel a good watch is a good way to celebrate hitting a milestone and that is why this Hugo Boss watch is on this list. Granted it isn't as expensive as some other watches I would love to purchase however, I feel like it will be a great way to celebrate a smaller milestone that I have in mind. I won't be sharing what the milestone is just yet however, when I hit it and make the purchase I may share exactly what it was.

Tag Carrera Watch 

Now compared to the Hugo Boss watch this is super expensive so will be being saved for when I hit a big milestone however, this is going to be so worth all the hard work when that milestone is hit as this is a watch I have wanted for a long time I just haven't been able to justify making the purchase due to the price. I am looking forward to being able to purchase this one though as it will be a constant reminder of me hitting a milestone and how far I have gone to actually achieve it.

Spa Day

See not all my rewards are tech and fashion related, the final one on this list is a spa day for me and probably Liam who will have helped me get to the stage where this reward has been accomplished. This will be a perfect way to relax for a day after all the hard work we had put into achieving all the goals I have set for myself and he has helped me tick off. After all the work a switch off day would certainly be perfect.

I am really hopeful that by having these rewards in sight I will be more productive than ever and finally start to tick off those all important goals I have set for myself. Now I have a clearer direction on life and I am finally understanding what I want more I feel like things are finally going to start to fall into place... let's see if that is true or not. 

I wonder what reward will be picked up first? Hopefully we will soon see...

See you soon

My holiday is done, here is what I am going to do for the rest of the year

I said that when I got back from this holiday I would be locking right back in upon my return. With no more breaks currently planned there are no more distractions coming up so I won't be breaking off from the plan for a while. I finally have time to focus on what I want to achieve for the rest of this year and really put all my time and effort into this rather than knowing I will have a chunk of time where I wouldn't be working on the goals I have set myself which is where procrastination takes place and I give up all together. 

The goals I have set myself aren't going to achieve themselves so now I am back and have the time to work on them I am changing my weeks to optimize my potential and hopefully tick off some goals over the course of the rest of 2026. So here is what I am planning on doing for the remainder of the year...

Work

We are finally launching the new website so my big focus at work is going to be bringing in new customers to the website and setting up new accounts. I am also going to be putting a focus on learning new things for the rest of the year and one thing I want to do is improve my marketing skills as this is going to be a big part of my work going forward. I am also going to start learning more of the financial side of things like invoicing and helping with the accounts in general.

Content

For the rest of the year my plan is to knuckle down and post more on here and try become a lot more consistent. I also want to become a lot more consistent on Instagram, producing better quality post and even leaning into different styles of content. I have so many ideas content wise that I just need to action now rather than staying behind the camera, if  I want that growth I need to let go of the fear and get creating properly. By the end of 2026 I also want to have made the spare room into the perfect hybrid space part dressing room and part content filming space, a whole redecoration is underway.

Fashion

It is time to start building my perfect wardrobe over the remainder of 2026, this is something I am going to really knuckle down on and by the end of the year I will have that perfect hybrid wardrobe. The rest of the year is going to be finding my style whether it is match day reporting or the 9 to 5 my style is finally going to be sorted and I will have the wardrobe that matches the styles I am aiming for.

Fitness

The big thing I am locking in on now is losing the weight. I am determined to be 40 Kg down by the end of the year so a lot of work needs to be done to achieve this. It is going to be a long process but it needs to be done. The plan is no skipping workouts, getting a minimum of 3 sessions a week complete and finally getting back to boxing which I have definitely missed. I will also be making better food choices with an overhaul of the diet and cutting out takeaways whilst opting to cook from scratch at home to ensure I know just what I am eating and cutting out the bad foods I tend to opt for.

So there you have it those are the things I am locking in on for the remainder of the year. With how much of the year is left there is the potential for a few holidays to be added into the mix but if I knuckle on down now and build the habits to work on these things and lock in on my goals then the next time I have to break off for a trip away I should be able to get ahead of myself and be able to stick to making progress even whilst I am away.

I am excited to see how things play out for the remainder of the year, let's do this.

See you soon

How I am locking in on work & content creation


As I keep on saying recently it is really time to lock in, become more disciplined and work towards that life I want, no more dreaming instead more doing to make it a reality! I want to elevate my life and live a life of luxury where I am following my passions, earning more money and overall just having a much better quality of life going forward. I want a life of freedom not being tied to certain timings etc, I want to be able to work out in the middle of the day, or travel to events that I have made my way into through the website without worrying about getting back for work the next day or the cost of a train and hotel being far too much. I would love the freedom to head to football games without worrying about cost too which would help me out so much with the football site and producing better content for over there. 

To actually help me achieve these things here are some of the things I am going to be doing work & content wise to put myself out there and hopefully see things pay off and life head into the right direction...

Work 

Launch a new website

Me and Liam are in the process of launching a new e-commerce website for the business which is going to be our little baby going forward so I am going to be putting a whole lot of effort into getting this off the ground and bringing in plenty of new customers in through this avenue going forward. There is so much potential for the site if we really knuckle down and as this is going to be a big part of our future locking in is really going to help us out.

Work towards a pay rise

If all goes well and we start bringing in more money through the website alongside helping other avenues of the business I am hoping a pay rise could be in the near future with possibly more as the website grows but I guess only time will tell on that part. My pay is not the best at the moment and I often find myself living pay check to pay check however, a pay rise to reflect all the hard work would make life much easier and help towards those other long term goals going forward.

Push to grow all sides of the business

I have been planning on focussing on the websites social media accounts to try get that off the ground however, going forward I am going all in on growing all our business social media accounts, the one for the website & the one for the original business. It would be great to really showcase what we have been doing for the past 20 something years and reach a whole new customer base again hopefully bringing more money in for what is one day going to be passed down to me.

Take on different roles within the company

I want to step up and do more within the company too, rather than sticking to the website I want to try learn different roles so that when the day comes that the business becomes mine I know what I am doing rather than winging it. This might be doing more of the service side of things or the account side but either way I will be stepping up and showing what I am capable of for a change.

All this is certainly going to have me pulling my weight a lot more at work and showing my worth and fingers crossed it ends up with more money coming into the business and me finally increasing my pay and maybe even earning some good bonuses going forward. I just need to remember that all this is working towards my future so I need to stay locked in and remind myself why working so hard on this matters going forward.

It isn't just work I am locking into though I am finally finding the love for creating content once more and let's just say the ideas are flowing I just need to find the confidence to get back in front of the camera. Going forward though content creation is also going to be a huge part of my life and here is how I plan to finally see some growth & it possible shape some aspects of my life...

Content creation

Use specific evenings after work for creating

Once I am home from the 9 to 5 the plan is to map out my week so specific evenings are used for either a specific websites work or content creation in bulk. This should just keep me focussed on what I am working on whilst also making sure I am keeping up with my content schedule rather than skipping days or rushing content like I have previously done. One evening per week may simply be a wrapping loose ends up night or an admin night but it will be so worth it.

Work on my lunch breaks 

Every minute is going to count wether it is a case of using my breaks to post content, schedule content or catch up on admin for my accounts I will be doing so going froward. By doing this I am just maximising my time on an evening for getting ahead whilst also making sure things are up to date for a change. It is really going to help stop me from just winging it going forward.

Content weekends

My weekends have changed and it is providing me with more free time so again I am going to use this time to really lock in and have content weekends. This could be a full day of filming, shooting & editing or could simply be a fully day at the PC for writing. Content weekends are definitely going to become a thing and will hopefully help me see the growth going forward. 

Lock in on all 3 of my websites

I am terrible at getting on a roll with one website and then neglecting my others and I am determined to change that going forward so that I am consistent across the board and producing plenty of quality content and building a presence online. By having specific nights for content I should be able to make really good progress on all the websites with no more neglecting. I am hoping that I can lock in enough on these to eventually start earning money from them.

Grow my social media accounts for each site

The social media accounts for each of the websites are going to be a priority going forward too as I ma hoping I can grow those to bring in some extra money and collaborations. I am slowly getting into the habit of creating consistently for one of my accounts so now I just need to throw the other two in and make sure I am finding the balance to stay consistent.

Locking in will give me another outlet for time other than shopping all the time which will help me save money for the things I really want rather than basically throwing money away. It should also help me with documenting my journey too which will give me something to look back on when things start to pay off so that I can see just how far I have gone already and how far there is still to go. I am really hoping that it all works out in the long run content wise as it will be great to see just how much of a difference it can help make in my life. I just hope I keep on enjoying it as much as I currently am as the bug certainly seems to be back.

This is really all going to be about finding balance in work, content and the rest of life but I am hopeful that this is something I am going to be able to do without burning out as I learn to manage things better. I know that I am capable of so much if I just stop being lazy and get rid of the procrastination. For now though I can't wait to see how things play out.

See you soon,

Lucy

My fitness goals for April 2026

April is going to be a good month, I am going to make sure of it. There is going to be no being lazy and for a change I am going to dive head first into my fitness journey to hopefully make some really good progress towards my end goal. I am really hopeful that as things are quietening down now I can get everything I need to do to achieve my goals done and finally see movement in the right direction on the scales. So here are my fitness goals for the month of April...

3 gym sessions a week 

Now that I am using the home gym and things are starting to quieten down a little bit there is no excuse for me not hitting sessions each week. Throughout April I want to ensure I am doing 3 sessions a week no matter what as I know this is going to help me on the scales and will also help me mentally as it will help with the discipline side of things not just relying on motivation like I previously have done.

Run twice a week 

Now I want to try get outside to do this but only if I feel confident enough to do so, even if these two runs a week are on the treadmill that will be fine. I tend to just do 1 Km at a time currently however, I really want to increase my distance when running so that is what I am going to try do on those two runs each week. 

Go back to boxing

I haven't been boxing since the start of the year for various reasons however, those reasons have been sorted out now and I am so ready to get back to the weekly sessions. Even if I only get to one session in April it is going to be a win for me and hopefully the start of something positive. These sessions used to help so much so fingers crossed April is the start of getting back to it.

Eat well on holidays

I am on a trip away in April and I want to ensure that I am mindful with what I am eating rather than eating junk for the sake of it and over indulging like I have done on previous holidays. There is no need for me to be doing this especially as I want progress to keep happening whilst I am away rather than me being back to square one. Good options when out and eating where we are staying could really help me stick to making the progress I am hoping to make.

Try something new

I want to try something new in April to add into my workout rotation to make things a bit different to what it has been like. I am thinking maybe a home yoga session or adding skipping to the end of my workout sessions. This should just make things a bit more interesting so let's see how it goes it could be entertaining at least.

Meal prep

Apart from when I am away I want to make sure I am meal prepping lunches for work to take the guess work out of days and make sure I am eating nutritious foods that I will enjoy not just a random meal deal which I am honestly sick of lately. This will take about an hour on a Sunday but save so many food decisions during the week and keep me working towards that much needed progress. 

Go on more of Odin's walks

I am terrible at just going home and being lazy leaving Liam to walk Odin on an evening however, now the weather is changing and the nights are lighter I think it is about time I joined them for these walks going forward. The fresh air will do me the world of good and those extra steps daily should help me with my weight loss plus there is the added benefit of it meaning more time with Liam and the dog.

Sort out my gym wardrobe

A big priority for April is to finally sort out my gym wardrobe. This is a job I have put off for a bit too long now and the gym wardrobe is now getting a bit overwhelming as there are items that no longer fit and some I am never going to realistically wear. I may be able to give some of these items to Liam as he starts going into the gym more and other bits will be donated as I make a start on building the perfect gym wardrobe for me filled with bits I am actually going to wear going forward.

By a clothing item to use as a goal

This is something I have been meaning to do for a while but keep putting off. With a trip to an outlet coming up my plan is to buy an item I really want but a few sizes smaller so that I can use it as a marker of my progress and visually see how I am changing in the right direction. I won't be spending a fortune on this but I am looking forward to doing this and seeing how things progress.

Start cooking from scratch more

My final goal for the month will definitely help me make progress a lot more than others on this list as it means I will know exactly what I am eating rather than opting for over processed freezer food out of convenience. By cooking from scratch I can make sure what I am eating is beneficial for my goals and is going to fuel me correctly and not leave me bloated and struggling like meals have made me lately.

So there you have it let's see how many of these have been ticked off when I do my wrap up post at the end of the month. There is certainly potential for April to be a great month that kick starts the progress I am desperately wishing for. For now though let the hard work commence...

See you soon

Locking in some quarter two goals

Here we go something new on the site. Rather than unrealistic monthly goals I am going to start doing quarterly goals for different aspects of my life going forward. I am hoping that this just takes off the pressure off just having a single month to complete a goal whilst also giving me some smaller goals to be able to achieve that end of quarter goal. These goals are going to be broken up into the categories of: Work, content, fitness & finally life, I am hoping that by having a few goals in each of these categories is going to help me lock in and really push to tick all the goals off by the end of the month and with 3 months to achieve those goals I am really looking forward to seeing how things progress. I am really wishing this idea came to mind in time for quarter one so that I could have done a fully years worth but quarter two is also a good starting point so let's look at those goals I am setting for myself...

Work

Launch a new website for the 9 to 5

This quarter is going to be all change in work and fingers crossed it is going to be a big change in the right direction. We are setting up a new subsidiary of the current company which is going to start off as an online store with the potential to grow into a physical store if things go well. The goal for quarter two though is going to be simple, just get the website launched.

Work on building a work wardrobe

I really want to level up my work wardrobe going forward so throughout quarter two I am going to work on thinking of what I currently wear to work and how I can upgrade the outfits for a change. There is so much potential when it comes to my work wardrobe and I want to start adding new pieces in quarter two too so that I can finally start dressing how I want rather than just dreaming about it.

Bring in over a certain amount of money from the new website

Now I am not going to say the exact amount on here however, if I do achieve it I may share it. I am hopeful though that in quarter two I can really knuckle down in work and really begin the build for the future rather than coasting along. At the end of the day all this will be mine one day so I need to put a whole lot more effort into things. That amount is in mind so it is time to work towards it.

Take on more responsibility at work

I really want to step up and show just what I am capable at in work going forward too so that is going to mean taking on another role, nothing too big that is going to overwhelm me but something that is going to help me improve day on day to maximize my potential and help business get better. I have the perfect role in my mind for this so I just need to see if the boss would be happy with it.

Track the wins

Throughout quarter two I am really wanting to track the wins so each Friday before I head home for the weekend my goal is to take 15 minutes to look back at the week and track the wins for me within work. This could be a load of little wins or some huge ones but the goal is just to make sure I am sitting down reflecting and seeing what I am working for.

Content

Post on here every Monday to Friday

Quarter two is where I am going to be really locking in on here and making sure that I am producing content for the website and not ghosting it for prolonged periods of time like I have previously done. I am challenging myself in quarter two to post five days a week for the next three months, is it too much of a challenge? I really hope not but I guess we will soon see.

Grow my Instagram

My Instagram account has sat in the same follower area for a while now and I want to change that, I am determined to lock in on posting and not ghosting for months on end and I am hoping I will finally start to see some growth from doing this. I have so many ideas in mind for my account I just need to stop procrastinating and get on with things for a change and let's see if that growth comes.

Revive Edge of the Area

I am going all in now, no messing around as I have big dreams that can come true by locking in on Edge of the Area. Again I am terrible for procrastinating when it comes to the football site however, with what I want to achieve from it I really need to start focusing on this and putting a whole lot of time into it. The season may be coming to an end however, I am going all in on the revival & working hard in the business end of the season & start of the off season to make sure I am in the right place for the 2026/27 season kicking off later in the year.

Get back in front of the camera

In recent months my weight has gone up a bit and my skin has had numerous breakouts which has really made my confidence plummet. I have been really struggling to get the confidence built back up so I can get back on the camera however, I am determined to really change that within quarter two. By the end of this quarter I want to have got a bit of confidence back and have a few shoots with me in front of the camera. No more holding back.

Reach out to a brand

This is a big step out of my comfort zone however, when I have got to a good position by working on the goals above I am going to reaching out to at least one brand to see about potential collaborations going forward. This will be one for if the above goals work out so could be towards the very end of the quarter but I am hoping things start to fall into place and this is something I am happy to be doing so let's see how this goes.

Fitness

Be below 90 Kg

Now this one is going to be a big challenge as I am still in the 100's at the moment however, I am giving myself three months to lock into this and hopefully see the results I am chasing. As I say this is going to be a massive challenge but if I get my head right I am sure I can push for this and see a big difference on the scales. Just over 10 Kg in 3 months it is go time.

Go back to boxing

Things are quietening down now and I am hoping to make good use of the free time. I am going to use that free time to help me get in shape so one thing I want to do is to head back boxing... these sessions are so good for me and I know I can achieve a lot by getting back to these sessions so it is time to stop delaying the return and get back to at least one session a week in quarter two.

3 home gym sessions a week

Now I am using the home gym instead of having to travel to the gym I have no excuse for not smashing out 3 workout sessions a week. As I also have a bit more free time coming up I think this is more than achievable and I am hoping that in my wrap up post I can say I smashed this one and am seeing plenty of progress from doing this.

Drop a clothing size

In the next three months I want to be at least one clothing size down. If I smash the above goals in this quarter then I could potentially drop more but I will be more than satisfied by just hitting one clothing size dropped as I have been stuck where I am for a while now. I am looking forward to trying to achieve this one and reporting back on it at the end of the quarter.

Sort out the home gym

With me using the home gym a whole lot more I want to make sure I am making this space perfect for my needs. Over quarter two I am going to be going through the home gym and rearranging it to make it perfect whilst also getting rid of items we don't need in there to make space for bits that will help us achieve our goals. This will also give me three months to consider the changes I need to make to this space too which will help me out a lot.

Life

Have two date nights

I feel like I have neglected our relationship recently and I want to change that so going forward in quarter two I want to try have two date nights in restaurants we have wanted to try just so we are spending some time together without the dog. We really need to start doing more of these and quarter two is hopefully just the beginning for this.

Have £1,000 in my savings

I am determined to grow my savings and not dip into them so I want to ensure I am using quarter two to build healthier habits when it comes to money. In 3 months I am more than capable of saving more than I spend by changing my ways so again let's see how this one goes, I am hopeful for it.

Have £800 in home savings

Again I have been dipping into my savings too much however, with us wanting to crack on with the jobs around the house we really need to start adding to these pots and keeping them there not taking money back out. £800 is a small but achievable goal for the next 3 months so let's see how this one goes.

Decide what to do with my car

Liam got a new car recently and put me on the insurance and let's just say I love it. Since getting that car my own car has barely moved so I am going to use quarter two to sit down and work out if I should keep or sell my car going forward. It just seems like a waste sat there but will I miss the independence of having my own? I have 3 months to decide.

Fully declutter & start rebuilding my wardrobe

My wardrobe is a nightmare at the moment I am overwhelmed and don't wear 90% of those clothing items. My goal for this quarter is to go through everything I have and get rid of those pieces I am never going to wear. Once I have done this the plan is to make a list of items to purchase for what I am calling a hybrid wardrobe, but more on that another day.

So there you have it let's see how this quarter goes and just how many of these I am going to get ticked off the list. I am really hopeful that these next 3 months are going to be great productive ones which are going to help take life into the direction I am aiming for.

Let's do this.

See you soon,

Lucy
