Back to School Series - New year round 2?

We are coming into a new school year, my final school year - weep, and this is the time for change and self-improvement. The second chance for all of us who have clearly failed our New Years resolutions. Remember those from January? Yeah thought not...

 Back in January I was going to run more, drink more water and be super organised with work and go to bed earlier each night. Guess how long that lasted? Approximately until the evening of January 1st when it reached midnight and I was still watching YouTube videos rather than sleeping.

For round two I am going to set myself the challenge with a deadline of sorts and a step I have taken to achieve it. I am hoping that this is a bit more effective than the random declaration "I WILL EAT MORE FRUIT" which poses the question- but how?

So let's go. New Years resolutions round 2:

Run more

I have new trainers which fit so I am hoping that this will act as a form of encouragement... Hopefully... 

By the 1st November I will have run 24 times.<- gaaaah scary 

Be in bed at 10 every single school night

I have set a timer so that my phone, iPod and laptop will turn off at 10 so that I will only be able to read and will be forced to avoid screens!

Stay organised

Normally at this point in the academic year I decide that I will do every piece of work when it is set and that will be that. This never lasts and so I have gone for a more open option which I hope will be helpful.

Blog more

I don't use this enough. This is mainly down to the fact that there is not enough time in the world to do both bake and blog. But to remedy this I am going to do a few more posts and this is the start of my back to school series over this week and next. So stay tuned for that.

Anyway- if you are going back to school, good luck you will be awesome and if it doesn't go as planned- just eat cake.
