I can run!

You know I'm so amazed at how I am ending the year. In the last twelve months I have managed to drop a heap of weight. Let's be realistic, I'm no supermodel. I'm short, hippy and I may lack the posture, don't tell my girls as I'm always at them to stand straight. I hit my peak weight when we got back from overseas. I was chubby and the moon had less craters. 

Marty and I came back with 100% determination to be better for ourselves. To be healthy and be happy with ourselves. I found it was hard to lose the the weight, so I bought a treadmill and just set a goal of meeting a certain calorie amount each time. At first it was hard. Extremely hard! I was very unfit and struggled to run for more than a couple of minutes at a time, on low speed. 

Over many weeks my fitness got a lot better and I was running for over 20 minutes constantly and at a high speed. That's when the weight started to drop and the craters started to dissipate. To be fair I'm a little proud I can actually run lol. To date I have lost 8 kgs. It may not seem much but it has made me feel on top of the world. 

I have grown in confidence in myself and have finally found my inner me. I have grown in mind and reduced in body. I'm proud of me, like really proud of me. I've discovered I like running and that was a serious surprise. I feel really clear in my head and happy with my choices in life. 

This year has brought new life and perspective to the mind body and soul. I still haven't reached my goal, I'm sure 2016 will hold the finish line.

Bad friend announcement!

From Today I'm going to be a better friend. From today I'll be a better wife and mother. You want to know why? Because I have been neglecting everything and everyone over the last few months. I'm not sure why, I can't even articulate a reason but all I know is I have been MIA. Mind, body and soul and it's just not fair on everyone, even my house!

I feel terrible as I'm not sure when I closed up but I just know I did and I'm going to fix it now. Today. This second. I will be more present, more aware and more active with everything and everyone in my life. I have missed everyone!

I have been absent in my life and stupidly consumed by unimportant crap. My life I have almost felt like a spectator in with no end that I could find, but I did. I found a way to snap out of the haze and realised just how much I have missed and how sorry I am to the people I call friends and family for my absence. 

So to my friends and family, I'm sorry I went MIA and my Christmas wish is to be so much better next year. Let's just hope you all can forgive me for my absence. 

Your long lost friend,
Bx
