Goddess I Am Not.....

I have had an extremely rough rough rough year.... no one is following this blog anymore which is fair enough... wasn't really a show stealer..

Was pissing around on FB this morning, as I do most days, terrible terrible addiction.  Came across a photo of a friend of the family who left NZ to live in Queensland this time last year.  She is a single Mum of one and left here at the same weight I am, give or take.  She was not really motivated and life was a bit hard. I have seen that heaps of her recent status updates are about fitness, sport, getting out there and I thought she must have taken a more active pathway. So I emailed her... as the photo I had seen was amazing, the transformation in a year is frankly astounding...

She messaged me back and said... I exercise hard out 6 days a week, I play basketball, netball, touch and volleyball... I started off loosely following WW points but quickly realised bread was my enemy and dairy gave me tummy aches.... I haven't looked back.

She is frankly a completely different person... I'd say she's lost over 35kg in a year...

I have started and failed attempts time and time again at this weight loss game.  This year I have lost my marriage, my horses and most of what my life was about.  I have moved north and have been accepted in the Bachelor of Nursing next year at the local polytech. 

It's time to make a change, not a diet, not a temporary buzz, a change... a whole change of the way I view it all..

Stats will be posted in the morning... join me on my change of direction.

  4. Hats off to your friend. What a turn around. I have the most amazing friend who has the same battles with her weight as I have with nicotine. It hasn't been fun. Recently, her mindset changed and she struck a chord with me. She said its not a short haul its a long haul thing so keeping that in mind we forge ahead. Six weeks cigarette free for me. In for the long haul. Keep us posted. x
