It is coming up to nearly two years since I started my blog and my love for it is a strong as the moment I hit publish on my first post which now seems like a lifetime ago!
Blogging has bought me so many wonderful opportunities and I never in a million years thought it would be something that I could turn into a job and I am absolutely over the moon that my little pipe dream has become a reality.
The only downside to staring this journey has been my ever increasing waistline!
All my time and energy are being engulfed by my family and my blog and my passion for exercise has fallen to the wayside and been replaced with a far more sedentary lifestyle.
I was always a five times a week girl when it came to training in the gym and this would always be a priority, which in turn managed to keep my love for food under control.
In the past two years I have managed to gain a considerable amount of weight that has been really getting me down…yet apart from some sporadic training I have done little about it.
With the New Year started I have decided that with some organisation and getting my butt out of bed they little earlier in the morning I have the ability to give just as much effort to losing weight as I do to my blog and I’m feeling really positive about the changes I have been making.
Last year I attempted to get my old self back by tracking my progress on here.
This was an epic fail so this time I am going to put less pressure on myself, throw away the scales and just get back to a healthier and happier new me.
Wish me luck X
Good luck! I want to do the same this year too, already signed up at the gym at work š
Good luck to you too, hope you start to see the changes soon x
I’ve never read a post that connects blogging with weight gain but, for me, it is most definitely related! I think spending too much time on facebook is the culprit, it somehow makes you want to eat a lot of chocolate! š I started this year on a health drive but the last few days haven’t gone too well, oops. It is about mindset and motivation though. Wishing you lots of luck for a healthier and happier you. Polly xx
Wishing you lots of luck too Polly!
I know exactly how you feel and I had a bit of a blip this weekend too.
I just need to learn to move on from they rather than just carry on eating! X
I can relate to what you wrote. This hits home!
So nice to hear I’m not the only one feeling this!
How do you maintain balance or try?
Good luck, I know what you mean as I too enjoy sitting down and actually writing rather than all the exercise.
It is a really hard one x
