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.
