Weight Loss

Over the past few months, I have steadily been losing weight. Some of this was been contributed to by the depression I suffered over the summer. 
Although I want to lose weight, I haven't really put an awful lot of effort into actually doing anything about it.



I am not comfortable with publishing my weight, so I have blocked those bits out of the above graph, but this is my progress over the past few weeks. That is very nearly a stone.

The differences in my life between now and a couple of months ago is that I am now cycling, and I will be doing so more often now that I have a new bike through my employers cycle2work scheme, and that I have, without much thought, cut a lot of sugar out of my diet.

My sweet-tooth as disappeared over the last few years, but I have had a weakness for fizzy drinks. For the last month or so, I have barely touched them, only drinking them when out with friends, which has only been a handful of times.

I reckon if I put some decent effort in, I could do even better than I have been.

2016 'Predictions'

I did one of those Facebook things, where you follow a link and it 'predicts' your future for fun;



Party in January? That seems unlikely in the month after Christmas.

I actually wouldn't be opposed to time to myself in February, I'm okay with my own company, and its a short month anyway.

Seeing as I have recently gotten myself a permanent position at a company I am very happy to work for, a new job isn't on the cards for me, I'm not even interested in browsing.

I'd welcome a jackpot in April. I suppose 'jackpot' could be a little vague. Hopefully it will be a financial jackpot, which would explain why my May prediction says Caribbean.

Hopefully my June surprise is a nice one. 

Considering my position, I don't see a promotion of any kind happening in July. A pay-rise would be nice.

August and September seem to conflict with each other; new love followed by a timeout? Not actual love then.

An October adventure would be kind of cool, maybe a little trip to a foreign location could be on the cards?

Not sure I like the idea of change in November, I do have a year to think about it though.

And a new car in December? Definitely up for that.
