Back after 3 weeks

[FigureEight]

So, things got massively derailed due to a death in the family (my little nephew). And as much everything seems a lot less relevant now, conversely I'm inspired to make the most of my life, which includes getting fit. I am back into my jeans for the first time since Christmas, which feels good. Haven't yet stepped on the scale - don't expect that it will have moved too much, but I'm happy that clothes are fitting better and people have noticed that I look better. If I keep going with the "eating better and exercising more" plan, I should notice a real difference by mid-summer.

Anyway, look forward to getting back into things here. Congrats to everyone who has seen improvements and positive energy to anyone who needs some extra motivation!

So sorry to hear of your recent family bereavement, my thoughts are with you all.

Sometimes it takes an awful life event that enables us to take stock of our lives and decide the future is going to be different. I do admire your stance and determination to change your life and  I know you will do it. 

We only get one go at living this life and for me it's about  living it the best way I can. I look forward to catching up.

Take care

😇

The loss of a child is always the hardest.  So impressed that you are planning to take that as inspiration.  What a lovely way of remembering him.  Be kind to yourself and take it gently.
