Hey peeps...
So was sitting here thinking about what I have been up to lately and a lot of things sprung to mind of what I want to talk about...
First thing is first, it is a New Year and I know that every single person says, New Year New Me and all that jazz, but in real life, this is a New Year Looking For The Old Me...the happy go luck woman I was before life got on top of me and stress took over...I have ballooned in weight over the last couple of years, never been this big EVVVEEERRRR....so guess what? I have done something about it, I have joined...wait for it...
SLIMMING WORLD!!!
Yes I have jumped on the Slimming World band wagon. Now the reason I have joined something like Slimming World and not just put myself on a healthy eating diet is because if I have to go to a group and be weighed every week I will more like stick to that diet than if I put myself on a diet as I will probably just fall off the wagon everyday and keep saying I will start it tomorrow. But guess what, tomorrow never comes!!!
Now I only joined yesterday but it has already made such a positive impact on my mood. I feel positive because I have made a decision to take things into my own hands, make myself accountable and do something about it. I have joined with my friends and I think that is also a big boost, as no matter how much someone says they are not competitive, they are!!! I will make more of an effort to lose as I wont want to be the person who is failing, who isn't losing weight when everyone else is...
So that is the first thing...
Now I have a list of goals that I want to achieve this year, so I am going to list what I want to do and want to achieve, these aren't particularly in order but just what I want to try to aim to for a better positive life, so...
1. Join the gym (which I am doing next week)
2. Buy a bike to go on bike rides with the kids (not rode a bike since I was about 12 so that will be interesting to see, ha)
3. Learn to drive and buy a car
4. Go on holiday
5. Get a new job
They are my goals for the year, but there are also things that I want to do to keep a positive mind and body, which are...
1. Eat fresher food
2. Take time out for myself
3. Be more active
4. Get a hobby
5. Read more books ( I love reading but always feel like I don't have the time to read)
6. Try something new
7. Get a bedtime routine (i'm terrible for sitting up all night, doing not very much and being shattered in the morning)
8. Stop pushing snooze on the alarm
9. Think of the good in each day, even if I am having the worst day ever, look for anything good and concentrate more on that.
10. Clean up as I go
11. Declutter (need to do this asap, ha)
12. Stop dwelling on the past
13. Learn something new
14. Be more creative
15. Get up and go for a walk or run or just go out somewhere
16. Avoid processed foods
17. Make a new friend
18. Learn to be honest to yourself
19. Compliment people more
20. Learn to love yourself
21. Be a better listener
22. Be a better friend
23. Be more passionate
24. DO IT NOW!!!
So that is what I have got planned for this year, this is what I want to achieve, following this I am going to put up each week an update on what I have been eating for Slimming World and also what my results are, speak to you all soon peeps.
Much Love

Looking For The Positive
Good morning Bellas...
This is going to be a brand new blog about everything to do with life, sharing all the good times and also all the hard times and real life struggles I go through and people in general life go through on a daily basis. So lets get started with a little bit about me...
My name is Lyndsay and I am a 32 year old single mother of Two, Tyler and Eden. Tyler is 10 years old and Eden is 7. I can honestly say I have never known love like the one I have for these two children. When I had Eden I didn't think I would be able to give her the same kind of love that I had for Tyler, not that I didn't love her because I did with all my heart but I was scared that I couldn't love anyone the same. Low and behold I think my heart grew and they are both my world...On a realistic note though, they also drive me insane, hahaha...
I am a mum who works also, I am a support worker for people with Learning Disabilities, Brain Injuries and Mental Health. I love the job, it is extremely hard work but in a lot of ways rewarding.
When I am not working and looking after my children I am also my mums full time carer. I did live with my mum till May 2015 and the reason I moved out was because I have three sisters and one brother...none of which lived with my mum, or helped with my mum but thought it was ok to dictate and constantly try and tell me what to do. The stress of them constant nagging (not all of them, just one of them who thinks they rule the world) I decided for my own state of mind and happiness that I would move out into my own place with my children, and that is exactly what I did...
I found a 4 bedroom house and bit by bit I moved most of my stuff out of my mums. Now don't get me wrong I still have things in my mums, several units and bits and bobs, but with having zero help from my family I am just taking my time with it and not stressing myself out. However in 2017 and I am making it my lifes mission to get myself sorted in my house. Im running off on a tangent here, hahaha...so I moved out in the May, in the October my mum came to mine to stay over for a night and ended up staying for 8 months, hahaha. She missed the kids and people being around her, which when she was at home she didn't have, as no one went to see her apart from me and I had loads to sort out with the house.
My mum went home for a couple of months with some of the family chipping in but the one that rules the world began to cause problems again, moaning about doing my mums tea a couple of times a week...mum got a cold and everyone basically didn't want to sit with her and look after her as there lives seem to be more important than there mum, so guess what, I took her back to mine and she has been here ever since. Her cold went weeks ago with lots of love and tender care :) but she is still here 6 weeks later haha...
What boring and depressing first post, I promise not all my posts are going to be like this, there is going to be family posts, single girl posts, foody posts, you name it, its going to be here...
I am also contemplating on starting up a Youtube channel, what do you think?
Much Love
XOXO
