I've also been trying to save as much money as i can so i can put a deposit down for a house. Seems like I've been saving for forever! Well nearly two years now. I'm hoping by January 2016 i will have enough to get me and Dazz somewhere. But at the same time with this money I'm just thinking sod it I'm off to see the world. I've had this recurring thought a few times now. I know people who have just packed in there job and gone travelling for a year. It just looks so amazing and would be an incredible experience. And i feel at the moment like I'm at a point in my life where i want to do something like that. Everyone has got something going on in there life... new baby, new house, holidays etc.... and well i suppose I'm feeling a little left behind. 27 years old and still live at home with my parents and work 24/7. Yes i know that's life but i feel like I'm not getting anything out of it. I've hardly got a social life because i work too much. I hate my job. I've been so close to tears so many times because i don't enjoy it anymore. I want out!!!
Would travelling be a good idea? Am i that type of person? I don't know? I would like to think this past year i have matured more and a bit more confident at doing things. I'm not saying I'm the queen of confidence, far from it! But i like to think i do alot more stuff now than i did before.
I am going to look into the travelling thing though, it has always appealed to me. Maybe just for a few months. My cousin did it and he loved it. But then there is where to go? Definitely Japan and Australia. Oh and Hawaii! I'm going to America in the next few months and i really can't wait. Could be the start of something new? Because we are going to a few places over there might inspire me to venture to other different places. I suppose I'll have to wait and see.
I dunno if anyone actually reads this nonsense but if anyone does and has been travelling would love to know all about it :)
Another thing that has happened is that i managed to 20lbs and keep it off. I did join weight watchers again (some ramblings about it in previous posts) and at Christmas i stopped doing it. As i felt i had got as far as i could with it. I wasn't losing anymore weight but i also wasn't gaining. I had managed to get down to a size 12 which i haven't been since i was 19! But i just had a holiday and wanted to get fitter and lose a bit of weight before it so i joined this clean eating group on facebook. A lady who i make cakes for runs it and it was fab. I actually stuck to it and lose weight and inches. I had put everything into it and tried so hard at it. Managed to lose 12 inches and 4 lbs in four weeks. I had my holiday and surprisingly i only put on 2 lbs. With this diet though i made better food choices whilst on holiday. Yes i did stuff my face with bread (mountains of it) but i ate more fruit and veg than the pasta covered in thick cheese! I have been trying to do it again, but i can't seem to get back into it. Might give it another go before i go to America. I have stopped going to the gym as well, well i stopped going back in February. Because I'm working all the time i was just so exhausted.. Full days work, gym then another 5/6 hours in the kitchen. My body couldn't handle it. So i cancelled my membership. Hoping to start up with a different gym next month as I'm finally giving up cakes at home. For good this time! No taking backsies!
Well i feel alot better I've got that off my chest. Needed some venting lol! I've got a date night tonight so i better start getting ready. Going out for dinner and then to watch Minions. Looking forward to it :D
See you soon Raccoon x
