How are we half way through the year already? June is here and I am ready to make it a very good month, in fact I am determined to make it the best month of the year yet as I have got my priorities straight now & know what I want to focus on going forward. The goals this month are broken down into fashion, fitness, life and content. All areas I am striving to improve on and where I am determined to have a great month. So here are the goals for the month ahead...

Fashion

Finally buy some jorts

I have wanted a pair of jorts for the longest time now however, haven't managed to find any that fit correctly so the plan is to have a shop around and finally find some great fitting jorts and make the purchase. I have a £20 budget for these but I am sure I am going to be able to find something.

Add a new pair of trainers into the rotation

I am trying to build up a decent footwear rotation before the new football season starts (more on that another day though) and I am determined to pick up a pair of trainers this month to get the ball rolling. I think it is time I bit the bullet and got those P-6000's that I have had my eye on for far too long now. 

Start mapping out what I need for the wardrobe rebuild

I have a whole new series starting this week about how I am rebuilding my wardrobe to make it optimal for the direction my life is heading in so I want to sit down at over the course of this month and map out exactly what I want to purchase and what I want to get rid of for the wardrobe rebuild. This should be fun to do and will certainly stop me wasting money going forward. I am definitely looking forward to this series.

Start sorting my outfits out the night before 

The spare room has been redone and I can now very easily get my outfits prepped the night before to stop me rushing around and being lazy with outfits on a morning. I have a hook in this room where I am going to put my outfit for the following day so that I am much more organised. This will take out the guess work on a morning and make mornings much easier. 

Pick up some basics

I know I am lacking a few basics in my wardrobe so the plan is to pick a few of those up in June just to make sure I have the options there in my wardrobe especially as the weather is starting to warm up and we all know a plain t-shirt goes with everything.

Fitness

Lose 4 Kg

I am determined to get this weight moving in the right way in June as progress has stalled a bit. The plan is to lock in on my journey clean up the diet, work out more and just get in the best place possible. I have some weight loss goals I want to achieve over the next few months so let's make a good start shall we.

8,000 steps daily 

I am doing so much better when it comes to my steps daily and the plan is to keep this up throughout June and not go under the 8,000 steps mark at all this month. This will be a huge help on my weight loss journey so let's see how well this one goes. 

Have an active week away

I go away early in the month and I am determined that due to where I am going I will be having an active week away. No sitting around being lazy, getting my steps in and doing different activities over the course of the week. I am really looking forward to this so let's see how it plays out.

Watch what I am eating whilst I am away

I tend to eat for the sake of eating on holidays and that is not something I am planning on doing this time around. I am going to go away and enjoy myself but not over do it, I am going to pick options that will keep me full but not be too greasy and take me over my calories. I need to show I can eat well, make progress on my journey and still enjoy myself.

Up the workouts to 3 times a week except when away

With me locking in on my journey I need to increase my workouts so other than the week I am away I am planning on doing a minimum of 3 workouts a week. This will just help me build some healthier habits and get into a good routine going forward.

Life

Enjoy my week away

One of my big goals is just to enjoy my week away as there should be plenty going on like swimming and walking. This should be just what is needed before I fully lock in on achieving my goals although I will be still working on here whilst I am away.

Complete the book I am reading

I have been reading the same book for a while now so I am determined that June is going to be the month when I finally complete it. I have more than half of it to go however, I need to start relaxing on an evening so hopefully I can swap the phone for a book going forward.

Complete the spare room

There are just a few finishing touches to do in the spare room to get it complete so the plan is to get that complete so that it the new filming space and dressing room going forward. This space has got so much better lately and these finishing touches will just tie it all together.

Start work on the back garden

It is time to sort the back garden at long last. We now have a fence and gate so the space is secure for the dog however, we now need to get it tidied it up properly for him to be able to spend time out there. We are wanting to spend so much more time out here this year so making it look much nicer is a big priority.

Have some switch off nights

I am determined that this month is not just going to be go, go, go I will also be spending some time switching off on an evening rather than spending all my time looking at the websites. I will be using some of these nights to build Lego, read and just relax for a change. I need to learn balance and this month could be a good month to start with.

Content

Keep up to posting even when I am away

Whilst I am away I want to keep up to what I am doing rather than sitting back fully. I will be in bed at a decent time and up before others so I may as well use this time to be productive and keep things heading in the right direction. I am hoping to get plenty done for on here and the football website over the time I am away so let's see how this goes.

Start redoing the Edge of the Area website

The off season is well and truly under way so that means the rebuild is taking place for so many things (whole post on that coming soon) and the big starting point is to rebuild the Edge of the Area website. The plan is to have the website pages updated and redone by the end of the month whilst I am still posting consistently. I can't wait to give this a refresh and just make it easier to navigate.

Revive content on TNG Games

I have neglected my gaming site for too long now and I am hoping that I can start reviving it again in June, posting different types of content and just getting back into the swing of things gaming wise. This will also be down to finding balance and working on what is needed to grow this site once again.

Start a series on my personal Instagram 

I want to start documenting the whole joureny of the building of the dream going forward and I am hoping to do this by starting a series on my Instagram and keeping up to it. I know that if I plan properly this can happen and the series could really gain some ground so let's see how it goes.

Have all of July's blog content planned before I have finished publishing all of June's blog posts

The direction of this blog is finally settled I think which should help making content for here much easier so the plan is to use the new found direction to get blog posts planned out in advance to stop any guess work that has been there in the past. Plus if everything is planned and ready to go I may even be able to get way ahead on writing content for a change. There may be some series' coming to the site however, for now I am just putting the ideas into a spreadsheet and seeing how things go.

So there you have it those are my goals for the month of June, I am really hopeful that things can really go to plan and that I can have a super productive month but let's see how this goes. The time for change is now and it is time to set things in motion.

See you soon, 

Lucy.
