I am days away from being done my website. I am happy with myself. I have wanted to do this since my now 6 year old was a baby and I was home with him for that first year. Being home once again on Maternity leave, which is soon to come to an end in 2 short weeks…I decided to get my shit together finally, and get it done! I have nothing to lose and can feel good that I accomplished something that I set out to do within about 3 weeks of thinking to do it. That is a record! Plus-I have done it solo, yes it isn’t professional grade, but alot of thought and time has been put forward. Thanks -Wordpress!

I started working out 6 days a week at the end of January and have been motivated in everything since. Yes, I wanted to get back to my pre, pre-pregnancy body, but that wasn’t the entire reason. For me it wasn’t about shedding pounds…… I felt like I was being sucked into a black hole of doom. I know very dramatic, but it is how I felt at the time. I have this wonderful man in my life who loves me and shows me his love on a daily basis, great children, a beautiful baby girl and I felt like – What is the fucking point! So I dug in and have been working my ass off ever since. If I miss a day, I want to kill someone! I guess it’s a good thing it is a daily routine. I am not surprised that exercising has changed my mindset. Luckily, I was able to do something to get out of the black hole of doom. Now, I have these endorphins pouring out of my body on a daily basis…sometimes I feel like I am high on something really good and realise, nah that is just my body naturally feeling Greaaat! See, this is why I do it everyday…okay, one day is a rest day and I am usually grumpy by the end of that day. I try to plan other activities that are not as hardcore, but I am still moving. I make sure I get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. I used to be one of those people that stayed up late even when I knew I had to get up early the next day. I thought, hey this is time for me. Ya, it was time for me to binge on whatever Netflix show I had moved on to. For example; Andrew would often say, “You know that I calculated how long it took you to watch all the seasons of Bones and you watched all 12 seasons in less than 2 months”. I know – Wow! It took me a while to get there, but I finally recognised that I had some very bad habits. I stayed up to late binge watching as much TV as one person could actually watch. We all have them, but I was done with it. Now, I limit my Netflix watching to maybe a movie on the weekend, and the odd episode of something here or there. Instead I find ways to be productive with my free time….which lead me to my very own website. A place to write about what I want to write about, post some of my creative creations and a place to publicise my bookkeeping company. With five children, I needed something just for me. I hope that you will enjoy my blogs and maybe get a little inspiration of your own.
