How are we already half way through 2019!! Here’s a review of my 2019 so far.
Accountability this year started with my separate instagram page @carolinegetsit. I undertook Chloe Madeley’s Fat Loss Blitz and whilst I did not drop a massive amount of weight, I managed to shift 10 pounds from my frame and felt super comfortable in a bikini for a Hen Weekend in Marbella. Posting a picture a day from my journey helped with accountability and sticking to the meal plan. There’s a great Fat Loss Blitz community on Instagram. I will be following the plan loosely over the summer in the run up to more trips abroad.
New places
In March I went to Berlin for the first time and reawakened my travel bug. I loved learning about the history of Berlin and East Germany. Having parents who studied in the Soviet Union, it was fascinating visiting a place that they have mentioned in countless stories of their travels around Europe as students. I will do a separate blog about my trip to Berlin.
Financial Goals
My 2019 goals are ticking along nicely. I could be doing better but I have had a couple of expensive months because life happens! I have found using the money management apps Emma and Yolt a great way of keeping on top of my spending. A daily reminder of what I have in all my accounts has made me more mindful when spending. The moments when I do splurge are now not out of mind!
Career Goals 2019
I had hoped to have gained admission to the roll of solicitors by the end of 2018 but this goal has rolled into 2019. I would be lying if I said I was not disappointed that I had not achieved this goal earlier but I am now in biting distance to the end. Remembering the journey and not just the goal is keeping me going. Deciding to take the CILEx route has allowed me to take control of my qualification route but at times I feel like I am playing a waiting game. I am definitely going to write more about my experience qualifying as this journey has not been easy.
My Blog 2019
I am going to be better!
Here’s to more consistency.
