When I started to think long and hard about the positive changes I've made in my life the list got longer and longer. I feel like a completely different person. I now look in the mirror and I'm starting to like the reflection for me it's not totally about the amount of weight I'm losing or the time it's taking me to get there but the fact that the person I'm staring at in that reflection is starting to resemble the person I feel inside alive and full of determination. The determination that I wouldn't have been able to unleash unless I had the support of some amazing women in my life and you all know who you are or in fact maybe you don't many of you I haven't even meet some of you I have only spoken with in facebook or on forums however you have all helped to shape the overall me. The start of my journey has been easy. Being focused and ready to start this journey only to have suffered a miscarriage during Round3 2011 would have put me back another 100 steps however it was the love and support from at that time strangers that made me stronger and more determined to succeed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Any way back to Challenge 2 - Positivity....Well what more can I say I am more then positive about my future as I'm out of my house (last round I only exercised in the confines of my home with Michelle's DVDs) now I'm doing as many out of the house events as I can. I'm positive that I will succeed with the determination and will power to prove to myself that I'm worth it.
Another positive thing that I have been doing is mixing up my training and doing more social workouts including walking Bridge to Bridge in Nepean with some lovely girls that touch my heart. These ladies come from all over and are at all stages of there journey of weight lose however I have found nothing but love and support and this is making me a much stronger person and I really am believing that I'm worth the effort.
Over the past few weeks I've been trying to mix it up a little. This is definitely not like me as I like structure and repetition however the girls from the western Sydney 12wbt group planned on doing a bike ride around the Regatta center Penrith. This was a little scary for me as I haven't road on a bike since I was about 10 and needless to day that was well and truly over a few years ago. But I must say I loved the ride besides my butt aching in places I wont get into I had the best time Thanks Ladies for pushing me out of my comfort zone!
Another positive change in my life is getting the kids to spend more time in the kitchen helping Mummy / Auntie with healthy food choices and they just love it.
