It's all about having GOALS!!

I was never any good at sport but I do have goals on the brain. I am an Irish woman in my mid twenties. I'm single, poor and overweight and my goals are to change all of this before I'm thirty! I have just over five years to work on this! That seems like enough time, but I currently feel as powerless as an irate supporter on the sideline. Yes i could walk up to the people putting obstacles in my way and punch them between the eyes but that would take me away from the game entirely! 

I am single. I have always been single in spite of some men who played the honorary role as my 'almost boyfriends'. I'm not currently holding auditions but when I do, you'll be the first to know! I firmly believe in the 'if its meant to be, it will happen' ethos. I am at a loss at the moment as to how to address this situation so we'll put that one on hold (its a touchy issue for another day ;))

I am broke. I'm living with me mammy and me daddy. My hours in my part time job have been slashed recently. I work in childcare but I don't intend on staying in childcare any longer than a couple of years. In a few years time, I would like to be working in a public service position (office type work). I plan to go down a volunteering route to get some experience in office work with my newly acquired free time. I don't even know if i would like office work per se but I have a degree in Geography and History that I would love to put to some use. Ya i might not know exactly what I want but I am gonna find out and make it happen!
                                                        

Now the one you've all been waiting for and i've been weighed for! I am overweight. My name is Briget and I am food lover. I need to lose 27 pounds having lost 8 and a half pounds since the turn of the year. I am enlisting the help of Weight Watchers here. I have always had body image issues and first joined weight watchers in 2010. I found their points system hard to work with so I am attempting the filling and healthy plan this time around. I think my weight is going to be the first thing that I manage to successfully transform. I'm hoping to be fully slimmed down by Christmas 2014. More about this soon!

                                                         

So i've lost sight of the goal posts in the past. I've been hit by my own ball bouncing off the crossbar. I've kicked many shots over the bar and many more have gone to the right and wide! I've had the ball tackled off me. I've broken rules and I've forgotten what sport it is I'm playing. I have time to change all of that now. I need your support. Sure we're not even at the end of the first half yet and i'm still in the game...
