The month that was January 2016

I almost forgot that it was the beginning of a brand new month. January always seems to whizz into nothingness and before you know it, February is here. This year, January seemed busier than usual.

I started January by making goals for 2016 and choosing a word for the year. I spent four days of the new year being a tad overwhelmed as I tried to wrap up everything at my workplace or five years. After saying a bitter-sweet goodbye, I headed for a solo beach holiday for five days. I needed the break between old and new.

Before starting my new job, I also celebrated my 32nd birthday. The new job has been good but I’ve been bloody busy! Consequently, in the last week or so, blogging has taken a back seat.

January was my month for reading. I read 8 books in January and reviewed some of those. Of course, it helped having those holidays! Since the break, reading has been a bit slow but consistent.

For February, I’m excited about starting the 12WBT challenge. I’ve prepared my lunches for the week and my dinners till Thursday. I have my exercise plan ready and by the time this post is up, should be going hard at it! I have increased not just in weight, but also centimetres. So it’s back to monitoring and watching how I go. Apart from that, Feb is going to be about work, work and more work.

How was January for you? Does your 2016 truly begin now?
