Wow what a busy few months, i cant believe its so long since i have been able to sit down and do some writing... I have been so busy with work, but have finally managed to work it so i can have august off.. (well of course when you work for yourself that doesn't actually mean i will be sat in the garden stress free & relaxing with a Mojito) as the world of self employment doesn't allow such luxuries...but I have all of my houses full on the lettings side and no point spending anytime doing anything on my sales business now until back end of august/September as it is the quietest time of the year for estate agents. So I am taking full advantage and will have my head in my laptop concentrating on my other projects and having a bit (or a lot ) of "me time" My eldest son is away for the summer too at the in law's in Wales... so it should be doable..
I have actually joined the Gym... something i have always avoided with a passion as i hate them (or so i thought) I actually LOVE it now. I go every day (weekdays) with weekends off... I started off small as i havent been for about 8/9 years and so was fully expecting to have a coronary on my induction. I have joined quite an exclusive health club (CREWE HALL) it is a bit pricey but my theory was that not many people would go and then i would have the place to myself & what people were there would be my kind of people. You dont get the "meat heads" in there, which is great when you are totally exposed and wearing next to nothing. I also thought i might end up meeting some men in there ,lets face it if i did and their first impression of me was exposing all my flabby bits, sweat running down my face, no make up on and hair a complete mess & they still liked me ... then they would want to marry me when they saw me with some effort!!
I haven't lost a single pound in 2 months, but i feel amazing on the inside, it really does release those " happy hormones" and i am drinking water like its about to run out... (which also now means i have to schedule toilet breaks into my day) i think i am eating better, although haven't really ever eaten badly, i could do with a small tweak on my alcohol intake which would help Im sure... but im too much of a social butterfly to give it up altogether.
Im toning up and i have lost a dress size , or maybe the dresses in the other shops are just made bigger (who cares) and my bra cup is finally decreasing which is a blessed relief, my (FB's) may not be happy about that one, but they don't have to carry them around all day and strap them in !!
I will continue on with my fitness schedule over the summer and just hope that at some point the scales start dipping southerly, but if not i will just have to love my flab the way it is !!
I have set myself a daily writing target to get a lot of my book completed so i can start to show people and see what direction it takes me in, having been on a talk show earlier in the year on channel 5 discussing it, i am hopeful that it may lead to new paths..
Today's challenge is to ask all of my close Friends to start writing down some of my "moments" that we have shared as it will defiantly have humour in it and i have been very fortunate to have lots of amazing friends who i have shared these " moments" with which still have us all laughing years later.
Keep checking my blog for updates.... watch this space!!
