A year....really?

Well almost a whole year has passed since my last post, so I thought I'd better let you know that I'm still alive!

A lot seems to have changed since my last post, my eldest son moved to Ireland and I miss him so much it physically hurts!

My daughter moved back to town with her partner and she gave birth to my first grandchild in August, a beautiful little boy, he is just an absolute delight and I get to see him several times a day as they literally live in the next street, so I'm very fortunate!

My youngest son is finishing school this year, so his adult adventures will be starting very soon too!

What about me? 

Well a few years back now I was diagnosed with bipolar, SURPRISE!  So the mega cocktail of drugs I've been trying certainly haven't hepled with my weight loss journey ...although they've been more than generous in the weight gain department!!

At the moment I'm winging it medication free, mostly due to the sever depression I was suffering from each time I hopped on the scales but also I  felt that I was becoming an unemotional zombie, spending way too much time staring into space and struggling to keep up with conversations and avoiding all (outside of work) social interactions!

So where does that leave me?

I'm trying to slowly put things back together, so that this existance somewhat resembles, what was once my life....whatever that was!!

So I'll be back to eating healthy and trying to coax myself outside each day to at least walk a little.

I'll keep you posted, hopefully it won't be another 12 months until I wrote again!

To all those reaching out for goals, keep going......always remember ....YOU'RE WORTH THIS!!
