Goodbye 2005
Oh dear this is a sad moment when one is sitting at home at 10.30pm on New Years Eve and has decided to do a 2nd update for the day! But hey at least I am going to wake up tomorrow with no regrets and feeling wonderful unlike many others throughout the world who will be waking with hangovers etc!
I wanted to take a moment and reflect on 2005 and what it has meant to me:
1) I have had 2 miscarriages - March and August
2) I lost a nephew at 21 weeks - RIP Sam!
3) One of my best friends daughter passed away in June - RIP Hannah Lou! We miss you and your cheeky smile heaps!
4) Another one of my best friends has been diagnosed with both bowel and liver cancer.
5) I have changed jobs after a lot of discussion and soul searching.
6) I have been a gym "bunny" for just over a year now and still enjoying it.
7) I am 9.9 kilos lighter than I was this time last year.
8) I am now an 80's chick!
9) I have lost a total of 40.3 kilos so far!
10) I am now wearing size 18/20 clothes compared to 26/28 when I started my journey.
Okay I haven't gotten as far as I would liked to have but considering the first 4 things in my list for 2005 I am grateful that I have managed to lose 9.9 kilos and not have gained that plus more! There have been many a hurdle this year - times when I felt like saying "stuff everything" but no I have just kept on plodding on and for that I say THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!! Without you lovely readers and supporters I know I would have given up in 2005! With your love, friendship, support, encouragement, guidance, knowledge and paitence I have continued on with this journey and seen the year through!
It is no secret that I really want to be a mum and am really hoping and praying that I will acheive that goal in 2006 but for whatever reason if that is not to be, then I would love to say that I would like to be another 20 kilos down by this time 2006! Okay we have no idea what hurdles and surprises that 2006 is going to throw to us but we just need to face each day as it comes and live life to the fullest!
Oh before I go, I will share with ya that this is how bored I was tonight - New Years Eve and I was bored - so about 9.15pm I threw on my walking clothes and hit the pavements and did my 5km walk! And as it was getting dark on the way back I even did a fair bit of jogging too!!! And I made it back home in just over 35 mins so am really impressed with the time that I did!
Right its now 10.43pm and I am starting to get sleepy... so I think I will hit the sack now! Nothing happening around here to keep me up until midnight! LOL So on that note HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! I love you all! You gals all rock and never forget that!
Love Karen
