my journey...thus far.

I am on a journey...to gain health and fitness, to be a better example of a healthy strong woman to my girls.  Its hard work.  Sometimes it feels like its hard work every moment of everyday...and sometimes I can 'surf' the trickiness of it all.  I have lost 28kgs today. I usually wouldn't mention such a thing; but lifes shifting sands at the moment make this more momentous than 27kgs...its a milestone as I have officially lost 4 (much loved) pregnacy's weight. I now have myself to lose.  Its freeing.  I pray it will continue to be so...I have ALOT more to go....but am feeling more positive about it than anywhere else on this journey.  I have had to redefine some of what's important to me, I have had to find other ways to show I care for others (making treats for others being important in the past).  I have never been stretched and disciplined in this way, for so long or so hard.  It is hard to put oneself at the front of the que - as every mother who may read this will know! I know gaining health and wellbeing is worth the effort. Today I am thankful for so many things...
