Yet again I have been MIA but for a very good reason! My sister is getting married and I have been madly helping her co-ordinate a bridal shower, had dress fittings, scouted around for shoes to match the dress I have to wear on the big day, been very sick with a chest infection and am now sick with a sinus infection/cold but I am not letting it beat me and I'm trying to stay away from antibiotics as they gave me another nasty infection, it has been a real roller-coaster ride the past month and a bit!
Well, with my positive attitude now back in force more than before I am concentrating my efforts on trying to shift the stubborn weight I have left to go as well as the weight I have put on from the antibiotics.
Today saw me getting back to basics. Revisiting the tried and true methods I used in the beginning of my journey I have managed to go for a walk today for an hour, make points free vegetable soup to eat for lunch which should pump the vitamins through my weary body and I've drunk so many fluids also which has seen me and the porcelain become very good friends.
It will mean for me however a whole different outlook. No longer will I make bad choices and go overboard, no longer will I have cravings if my stomach is full (and boy was it ever after my soup with two pieces of bread today!) and no longer will I let myself go backwards, even if I am sick. I have become determined to move forwards instead of standing still or going backwards.
I have decided to go abseiling for my birthday as a renewal/rebirth of myself and am going to tackle my fear of heights (which is funny seeing as I am 6 feet tall) but first on the agenda is to conquer "The Edge" experience in Melbourne whereby I will be standing in a glass elevator that rises to the 88th floor and stops allowing you to see a 360 degree view of Melbourne and makes you think you are standing on nothing at all. It shall be a harrowing experience no doubt but one I need to do before the abseil.
Onwards and Upwards is the correct frame of mind from hereon in.
Until next time,
