I'm not going to say that 2026 is going to be my best year ever or set unrealistic new years resolutions, I'm just going to go with....."I'm going to do my best not to fuck it up".
I do have goals that I want to reach by the end of 2026 but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't complete them, unless I haven't done anything to try and complete them, then I will kick my own ass.
The weight I lost at the beginning of 2025 is back and I am well and truly pissed off with myself so I'm going to set myself the goals of walking more every day as well as going swimming and to the gym more. I've been getting quite bad reactions to gluten and carbs so since new year I've been on the keto diet. It worked really well for me when I stuck to it in 2025 so going to give it another go. I give in too easily to snacks like crisps and chocolates so I need to work out things that I can have that are better for me to snack on. My friend Georgia has said that once I get to 18 stone, she is going to take me to Leeds Castle for Go Ape lol.
I've recently found an amazing charity called Cruse that helps people with grief, after seeing a presentation on the great they do, I've decided that this year is the year that I get help for my grief from losing my dad. I know that everyone's grief is different but I feel like I'm not moving on, I need help to work through it.
At the moment at work, I am an Administrator, so I don't get to use my brain that much and get bored a lot. There is a recruitment freeze at the moment but when the freeze is taken off, there will be a job vacancy that is the next step up for me. I'd actually get to use my brain and not feel useless if I was in that job, plus, it's a lot more money so that will be a bonus. I don't think I would be in the same team but I would still see them and sometimes work with them so it's not like I would never see them again.
I have decided to close my music blog Suzy's Musical World so I will solely have The World Of Suzy to work on. The website for SMW will be up until my subscription to the hosting site runs out in October. It will be sad to see it go but I have had an amazing time running it and meeting the bands and people behind the scenes. I've learnt a lot that I am going to take into this newer blog.
Lots to think about and work out but I think by the end of 2026, I will be a lot prouder of myself.
