Ok, well I’m not exactly Buzz Lightyear and I’m not a flying toy but the sentiment seems to embrace how I feel today.
I have achieved so much this year – which is coincidentally my one year gym anniversary, go me! – that I cannot believe I am the same person. I started this journey overweight, unfit, unhappy and feeling, above anything else, old and fat, as if life was passing me by.
I was lucky enough to join the Gym and have been given so much help, advice, support and encouragement that I sit here today feeling as if I can conquer the world. Not only have I lost most of the weight (OK there is still about 7lbs to go – or not depending if I have my practical head on!) but I feel as if I have been given another life. There is just so much out there to do, to achieve, to see, to conquer, that there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things I want.
I am studying hard for my PT exams and looking forward to my NLP course with Richard Bandler in May and every day I think of new business ideas, opportunities, directions I want to go in. Spending time with my daughter is always liberating, its fascinating to get a 21-year-old perspective on things and I really must schedule a complete wardrobe revamp with her, I need to update my look to better reflect the person I am becoming not the person I was.
Life just feels amazing today and I love every bit of it. Yes there are challenges and set backs but if we didn’t experience the dark how would we see the stars?!
I love who I am becoming and rather than fear the future I am embracing it wholeheartedly. If this is what good diet, exercise, friends and challenges can feel like someone should bottle it, they would make a fortune and the gyms would all be packed ALL the time!
If I could give one piece of advice to the me last year (or to anyone struggling with that first step) just go for it. Yes its scary and yes its hard but each one of the tiny steps you take along the way will build into a complete journey that will take you, truly, to infinity and beyond…..!
