Have you ever tried doing a fitness challenge for 30 days? This year I decided to make a new list of goals to achieve each month; one of these was to set a monthly fitness challenge. I’ve become a little obsessed with monthly challenges recently, why?
So apply this to fitness and you’ve got a great fitness plan for the whole year!
Try a new fitness challenge each month, smaller goals are easier to achieve and you will see results quicker! Click To TweetStuck for inspiration? Then check out my 5 favourite fitness challenges that I have taken from Pinterest.

Ok we’ve got through January, it’s noticeably lighter and spring is on it’s way! January surprisingly didn’t drag as much for me as normal. Ok so I still had no money, other friends were feeling the pinch so no socialising to get rid of the January blues. Setting my own January Goals helped me to focus on things and be more pro-active about getting things done instead of mopping around the house. I consciously made a plan and effort to achieve each of the goals that I set, 10 in total. Some were easy, some were harder and took a while to complete. It’s given me the motivation to carry on setting monthly goals and see what I’ve managed to achieved at the end of the year.
New month, new monthly goals. Getting things done one small step at a time #blogshare Click To Tweet
So here are my new monthly goals:
Looking back to the goals I set for January (read my blog post My January Goals) I’ve noticed that they generally focus on fitness, health, blogging, family and my messy house! I suppose it’s what I’m all about but here’s to hoping the messy house will be a goal I achieve sooner rather than later!
Do you set goals each month? What are your February Goals?

Happy New Year! After a hectic 2016, I am excited at the prospect of starting afresh with 2017. There are lots of things I would love to achieve and have lots of plans for 2017. Looking back at 2016, I realise that most of my dreams remained just that. Yes I did achieve a lot, but a lot of that was by chance or out of necessity. This year instead of just dreaming about it I’m going to start setting some goals. I might not achieve them all, they may change. Who knows but at least by goal setting I will get some kind of focus as to what I would like to accomplish in 2017.
Goal setting also sounds a lot more positive than making resolutions; been there, done that! Like many resolutions made on New Years Eve the majority have normally fallen by the wayside in the first couple of weeks of January.
Dreams will always remain dreams unless you set #goals, have a plan to turn them into reality! Click To Tweet
So I suppose I have to start somewhere, here’s what I would like to accomplish for 2017. These are my goals for this year. I intend to break them down over the months so that they become achievable targets. By the way the Dishwasher, for those that know me, is okay maybe not a dream but a bit of a sore point!
What are your goals for 2017?

Happy New Year! Time to get back to running after two weeks of a diet of chocolate, prosecco and Christmas TV Catch Up marathons. I went into Christmas full of good intentions but by Christmas morning that had all evaporated and been replaced by a tin of Quality Street. So a brand, spanking new year and a fresh start. A cliché I know but I enjoyed Christmas, spending time with family and catching up with friends so I don’t feel guilty. Now the challenge is to step away from the remains of the selection box and get out there running again.
