My weight loss journey is now one of my biggest priorities as I am more determined than ever to get rid of this excess weight for good. With how long this journey has been going on I have been doubting myself and others have been doubting me so I am now more determined than ever to prove others and myself wrong and hit that big end goal. I have recently started a bit of a project where I am aiming to lose 30kg before my next holiday abroad. Hitting the 30kg by then would push me super close to my end goal and would be a great marker to show what I can achieve when I lock in properly. To get this journey underway properly I am going to be investing in different things in the hopes of them helping me achieve the results I am chasing...

My nutrition

A lot of my best results will come from changing my diet going forward. Previously it has been filled with takeaways, ready meals and a lack of anything healthy. Going forward I am going to be investing in the food I eat, I will be purchasing good quality fresh food with meat coming from our local farm shop, granted this will be more expensive but it is going to be much more beneficial. I will also be aiming for an ultra processed free diet where possible, by home cooking with the best ingredients my weight should start to drop and my body will feel much better. Takeaways will be reserved for special occasions and won't be anywhere near as frequent as they currently are and whilst I will still be going for meals out with family my aim is to pick better menu options and not those big greasy burgers.

Supplements

I struggle to get my protein in so where needed I will be taking clear whey protein to help me achieve these. I will also be having my energy gels when doing demanding workouts and football sessions as they really do keep me going. Then finally I am going to keep up to my vitamin stack daily as when I keep up with them my body really does thank me for it. The stack might change over time however, it will always include my daily multi-vitamins, vitamin D tablets and magnesium for an evening.

Sleep 

Sleep is going to play a massive part of this journey as recovery is key so I want to make sure I am putting some money into this area going forward. At the moment out curtains let in a bit of light so the plan is to sort that issue out to blackout the room. A sunrise alarm is also on the list to buy so I can wake up naturally without the harsh alarm sound I currently have. My mattress could also use a bit of an upgrade so a nice comfortable mattress topper is currently being hunted down. Finally in the sleep category it is time to upgrade my pillows. My old ones just don't cut it any more and it is time to change that and get the pillows that will help me have a good nights sleep.

Recovery 

Recovery is going to be key as I up the amount of exercise I do, I want to make sure I am not going to cause myself any injuries and that my body is in top condition. The massage gun is going to be added into a daily routine to ensure any little niggles are kept at bay. I am going to get the ice bath set back up too and I am going to try hit that daily, if not every other day as I feel so much better when I have been in here. Recovery days are also going to be on the cards, maybe every quarter going forward, a day off work spent in a spa... I can't really think of anything better. The plan is to have a sports massage every few months too as I know these work wonders with my body and I deserve it. 

The gym

I am going to make sure I have the best level of membership possible at my gym and make the most of it. I am planning on starting off going two times a week and then slowly building up the amount of sessions I do. I will also be heading to the sauna that is in the gym as part of my recovery & also taking up swimming a few times a week to help my cardio. It is about time I made the most of my gym membership so let's do this. 

New Equipment 

Unfortunately where I live if the weather turns it turns and we can have snow when villages next to us don't have it. Luckily I still have my home gym for when I can't get to the actual gym however, the equipment in here isn't the best so going forward I am thinking of upgrading some of the items I have in the home gym to make sure I can progress with the exercises I do.

So there you go those are a few of the things I am going to start investing in going forward in the hopes of keeping locked in and finally see some progress with weight dropping off me to help me towards that big end goal. It is time for less talking now and more doing so let's go...

See you soon,

I have noticed lately that I am reflecting on life a lot whilst also thinking about how I would love my life to look in the future. I definitely want to work on completely transforming my life and creating a life of luxury, it really is time to stop just dreaming it and time to start creating that life I want. If I really knuckled down and stopped procrastinating then this honestly could become a reality it is just getting over that procrastination something I am terrible at. I know that I do well when I set myself goals so today's post is going to be all about those goals I am setting myself to achieve within the next 10 years. I am giving myself 10 years as I know a lot of these are huge long term goals but let's just knuckle down and see what happens shall we. So here are those goals...

Be in the best shape ever

I am determined to work on my physical health over the next 10 years to really be in the best shape possible. This means spending time in the gym, playing football, running and maybe even taking up other events to really help me get in peak shape. It also means that I am going to be putting a whole lot of effort into my nutrition going forward making sure I am eating the right foods to fuel my body properly. 

Create a fragrance collection

I am all for a good fragrance lately and over the next 10 years the goal is to create the perfect collection for all occasions. I want to invest in my fragrances and not buy cheap ones that don't last long on the skin & I want to find the perfect fragrance for day to day which gives that luxury feel. The goal is certainly to have a core base of fragrances to reach for that suit me perfectly.

Build a watch collection

The next 10 years are going to be spent building up a collection I have wanted to build for a long time.... a watch collection. I love a good watch and I am at the stage in life now where I want to work hard and save up to get some of the watches that I have always dreamt of owning. My Tag Formula 1 from my parents for my 30th started this collection but now it is time to build on it.

Build the perfect wardrobe

I will be finding my personal style within the next few years so by the time we get to the end of the the 10 years for these goals I am hoping I have the perfect wardrobe that matches my lifestyle and that life I have created for myself. I am hoping that in the next 10 years I will have a whole room as a dressing room split into sections such as work wear, day to day wear, active wear and going out clothing alongside jewellery & those watch & fragrance collections. I am determined to have this done nice and early on in those 10 years but let's see how that goes

Extend the house or move 

In the next 10 years I want to either extend the house or move into somewhere that I would consider my dream home. That dream home is on the market right now and I so wish we could afford it but we will see where we are in the next 10 years to see if something like that is possible. At the same time though we really like where we are now and we have the space to extend so maybe we might go down that route. I would love to build a permanent structure for the home gym so it is a bit more secure and then extend the house out to the side to create a few more rooms which could create a dedicated office space, wardrobe, spare room for the nephew honestly the possibilities are endless where we are now and as I say we do like where we currently are but a lot can change in 10 years.

Travel a whole lot more

Me and my mum went abroad in 2025 for the first time in years and I have caught the bug. My goal for the next 10 years is to increase how much I travel so I can see more of the UK and the world in general. I would love to go abroad a few times a year and also have multiple staycations within the UK with Liam and the dog. I definitely need to increase my income to allow for this so it is time to knuckle on down.

Own my dream car

I am committing to it and I am saying within the next 10 years I will own one of my dream cars, either a Jeep Wrangler or a Land Rover Defender. I am leaning towards a Wrangler at the moment but again a lot can change in 10 years however, I really want to knuckle down and achieve this one ASAP. Granted I don't drive as much as I should due to driving anxiety however, I am slowly getting over this and increasing my mileage. The goal is to get over the anxiety and be driving round in my dream car in no time. These definitely aren't cheap though and are going to take a lot of saving for but I am sure I can do it.

Have £50,000 in personal savings

Granted I would love for this to be a higher number however, with everything else in this post I think that for 10 years this is a realistic savings goal. This would give me more than enough as a safety net i things went wrong for any reason and would help me keep on pushing to go above and beyond where I am now. I have high hopes of hitting this within the 10 year time frame.

Build my socials

I know you can't always rely on social media however, I am going to be spending a lot of time going forward to build up my existing social accounts and any others that are going to come along in the future as you don't know what is still going to be around in those 10 years or what else is going to pop up. I want to build the accounts up to be something to be proud of and that represent the hard work put in over the years so let's see how this goes.

Build TNG Media

It is time to stop procrastinating and get things moving properly with TNG Media this is something I want to turn into a full time venture eventually so it is time to sit down, create business plan and get working out how to grow the idea. In the next 10 years I want to be at the stage where this is my biggest money earner and potential have some employees. It is really time to knuckle down and see what we can do with this in 10 years.

So there you have it the next 10 years are going to be all about creating that life I have only ever being able to dream of. It is going to be a lot of locking in and focusing on aspects of life to achieve these goals but it is certainly all going to be worth it in the end. Now let's lock in and start working towards these at long last...

See you soon

Lucy
