Starting Over Again

Hi everyone hope you are well I’m back again for another try. I just completed wk 1 of the C25K this morning. It’s been tough year mentally and I have tried to start over a number of times and failed but this week I made some serious life changes quit my job that was literally killing me with the four hour daily commute and toxic culture I had literally put on 3 stone since I started working there in Jan due to stress. I am determined to really take better care of myself and get healthy for myself and my children they are so happy to have me home with them to do school runs etc. I feel guilty that the other half is carrying the financial burden for now but I had to choose to be well over finance. I’ll keep looking and hopefully get something nearer home more suitable soon until then I’m getting out there one step at a time. Happy Running Love and Light❤️❤️

Good luck! A 4 hour commute is brutal even for a job you like once you get there, wishing you lots of happiness and energy now you're free of it.
