I don’t generally do New Year’s Resolutions – I simply cannot be bothered and I usually don’t have anything that I need to change. I don’t smoke, hardly drink, have a career path set out, go to bed at a reasonable hour and am generally very organsed. If anyone asks me, I tell them that I plan to have a better year than the last.
But this year is different. (I’m not a cliché – it actually is!)
I’ve been through the worst of the worst and came out the other side, realising that I can actually achieve anything I want to. I’ve overcome depression and I am slowly weaning myself off the meds. I’m starting to feel like myself, the woman who I was five years ago.
So I’ve decided on a New Year’s Resolution, well, actually life a New Life Resolution! (Geez – more clichés!)
I am going to build myself up mentally and physically to the woman I was before that asshole man dragged me through the mud.
This means diet and exercise, taking care of my looks but also taking care of my body. So I went out and I bought myself a multivitamin and bought one for Miss E as well. I started a diet and exercise plan which I have stuck to for three days so far. (Well it’s a start, isn’t it? Isn’t it?) I have a weight loss shake formula full of weight loss aids such as Goji Berries as well. It tastes like pinebark, but it keeps me feeling full and being more regular. (Shitting more.)
For Christmas I got a set of scales and a lot of beauty products to pamper myself with. I’ve been through so much in the past year that I haven’t really taken care of myself and upon viewing recent pictures of me at the beach, I’m looking much like a beached whale.
So no, I’m not going to post the beached whale photos but I am going to keep them as motivation. Instead, here is our beach trip yesterday in the 30 degree heat. (For Tasmania that is near Tropical weather, Tasmanians don’t cope well with heat.)
Hey I will help keep you motivated if you like the idea off slowly getting your self of the meds I like that, you can do this I know your got the will power and can achieve these new goals. If you want a walk buddy for regular walks I will put my hand up don’t be afraid to say or if you like I all ready have another female friend walking buddy , I sure she wouldn’t mind you and Emily coming along for our walks. she has a 2 yr old son Jake that comes on our walks.
By the way you don’t look like a beached wale, but before you can love someone else you need to love yourself first. don’t let the past drag you down show them all you can do this and there pain they caused you not going to get to you anymore.
Thankyou Dave
