2017 revisited, 2018 goal

2017 Goals

1. Travel to at least three new places outside of the UK. (Currently two booked)
DONE.  I travelled to Amsterdam with Gerald in January, to Poland in March with Amy and to Italy (Lake Garda) with my parents. 
2. Become an active volunteer for Rosie's Trust.
DONE.  I volunteered with a man called Mr Bell and his dog Snoopy.  Sadly Mr Bell died and I went to his funeral in December.
3. Reduce meat and dairy consumption overall. Starting with a veggie January!
DONE.   Moreso with meat than dairy.  I find I mostly only eat meat when I am out for dinner or somebody is making me dinner.  Most days I will have veggie alternatives or just veg based meals.
4. Establish a fitness routine.
DONE.  I rejoined the gym and actually went which helped my overall fitness levels with the dog walking.
5. Buy a house by myself.
PROGRESS  - Although I haven't bought one I have saved a few more thousand for my deposit so I am happy about that.
6. Improve overall diet - REDUCE SUGAR!
FAIL - I did a little but not to the extent I want to.
7. Get a promotion/new job.
DONE.  I took on new work with doing Corp/Community bookings and well as being part of the social media team.
8. Read 12 books.
FAIL. 
9. Explore creativity - sell your stuff at a craft fair.
DONE.  I did this in April selling handmade cards, and bath cosmetics.
10. Learn to switch off from social media/technology.
DONE.  With the help of music and doing more gym/dog walking this helped me.

Overall I gave myself a 7 out of 10.  Which I am happy with!

Now to 2018.

1. Buy a place of my own.
This has been on it for the last few years and every year I want it a little more.  Come on 2018!
2. Travel to at least 3 new places in the world.
Currently I have Malta booked in March.  Two more please!
3. Donate 7inches plus of my hair to Little Princesses Trust.
Growing it long to hopefully cut it in April with my friend Noeleen.
4. Get a new job.
Limitied to no opportunities where I am.  Time to find a job just as fulfilling where I can grow.
5. Do an adrenaline event and raise money for Action Cancer.
A charity that does good, and that I have been a part of for over 2 years.
6. Volunteer to help the homlesss.
An issue I am becoming increasingly worried about in this city and around the world.
7. Try and come off all medication completely.
Just try and go back on it if it does not go well.
8. Improve diet by reducing dairy and sugar.
9. Improve fitness - dog walking or gym classes at least twice a week - yoga and pump?
10. Do a creative fun class with a friend or alone.

Here's to the New Year!
