Complete my first ever 10K Race for Life
So I never thought I'd actually get through it and surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be but I am so proud of myself for doing my first ever 10K! As some of you will know I am not very fit and had only ever run 5K before but taking part but I wanted to challenge myself and I'm proud that I did because I felt such a buzz of achievement. I normally run 5K in about 40 minutes so I was pleased to run my 10K in 1 hour 20 mins in the sweltering heat (my goal was to do it in under 1 hour 30!) It is such an amazing atmosphere at Race for Life events and I can't wait to sign up for next year too!
Schedule my blog content at least 1 week in advance so I don't miss a post!
Ok so this totally failed! I went away twice in June and have been busy every weekend since then so you can imagine I just simply haven't had time to blog. I work 8.30-4.30 every day but if you add the gym in during the week the hours just slip by and I never get round to doing anything else. Maybe this should be a goal for August? Do you reckon I'm up for the challenge?
Keep going with Slimming World and get down to my target weight (I'm about 5 pounds away but I keep maintaining so I need to be strict after a few weeks off due to holiday!)
Again ... this is another fail but I am now back on track and determined to get to my initial goal! I gained 4 pounds throughout the last couple of weeks (which does include a 1 week all inclusive holiday to Rhodes and a long girly weekend in Spain) so I don't think it's all that bad!
Take better care of my skin and switch up my skincare routine
I actually made an effort with this one. I've worn a lot less makeup over the last couple of months and have seen a great improvement in my skin. I have been using my B pure micellar water from Superdrug to remove makeup and my trustee L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius is a must have to keep my skin feeling hydrated. Do you want to know which skincare products I'm currently using? Let me know in the comments below and I can do a post!
Join another bloggers chat on twitter
As I've mentioned previously June and July have been crazy busy for me so I've not had a chance to do any blogger chats but I am excited to join one next week and meet some new bloggers. What are your favourite twitter chats to join?

I always feel so much better when I do it, but it's so difficult to find the time to fit it all in after a full day at work! XX
