Fitness really does change your life!

About a year ago, according to the timeline on my blog, I embarked on trying to do something for myself. A small goal of losing weight and trying to eat better and exercise more. I joined up at a gym and even took some personal training sessions for the first seven or so months. I was so determined to try and finish something, or accomplish something for once in my life. 

So here I am one entire year later and I am so happy to announce that I did it. I have lost approx 20kgs and am looking slimmer and better than ever. I have also become more social and happy because I feel like I have accomplished something so amazing that I know many people struggle with. Of course I am still so keen to continue with this new "me" and have been trying to push others to do the same...its been so great seeing myself transform and gaining back my confidence which I had lost when I put on all those kgs after I had the baby.

Not only am I confident, I am happier. I feel like I am a brand new me. I know how to live better and I am always keen to exercise more when I can. Its amazing how something so small, once achieved can really push you to do more with yourself and be a better person.

So there you have it. One thing in my life I have managed to accomplish. I am hoping that I can continue this for a long time. I know one day I will probably have another child but if that happens then I will make sure that this time I do all I can to keep the weight at at minimum and keep the exercise going. It will definitely be a challenge but one that I am willing to give a go.

So here it is everyone, my final accomplishment of weight loss. So proud of myself and I am going to continue till I am satisfied I am at my ideal weight, probably another 5-10kgs to go.

2013 - A year of living

Ok, so I have just looked at my blog timeline and over the last 12 months I have only posted 9 posts.

Every year I start out the same, saying I have neglected my blog and promising I will keep up and on top of it and so far every year has delivered the same result. 

Disappointment. 

It seems I am my own roadblock to achieving even the simplest of goals. I always say to myself that I am going to be more attentive to my blog and write about interesting things, but the truth is, I had no clue, and probably still don't.

So this time, I am only going to promise that I will write about what I am living. How the world looks to me at this particular time in my life. Ok so that may sound a little boring, and hey, it probably will be, but if I keep up with it, maybe I will open up the untapped creativity that I know is lurking somewhere inside my brain.

So, this year - I promise myself to start living and doing what it is that I love to do - Write. I don't know exactly what kind of writing I will do, possibly a book or a script of some sort, but I want to stop procrastinating and finally do something about it. Get out there, learn something new. Create. No more fear of rejections from peers or colleges. Time to put my mind to it. Apply it.

There you have it. My proclamation to the world. I will see it through. I believe. Lets hope I don't let myself down again.

I am here and I am going to live for me x
