It's Christmas eve today, so I thought I'd take the time to reflect on the year very briefly and talk a little about next year's mission.
2012... This time last year I was facing up to the fact that I really needed to do something about my weight. I did that but have recently slipped back due to an amazing holiday in Mexico. I wouldn't change this year, with the exception of one very sad event, so I have decided to be pleased with the overall weight loss and the fun times I had, and aim to do the same next year!!
The sad news was the passing of my Grandma. We all miss her terribly, and I am sure more so now it is Christmas. I miss her particularly for all the little things - not having our whittering chats every week, her sage advice, her boundless enthusiasm and support in everything I did. I still find myself wanting to tell her things (am often to found chattering to thin air in the vain hope she will hear) I think losing her and seeing what a good, kind, determined and yet humble and selfless lady she was to everyone, has had a profound impact on my thinking. I am determined that my own self doubt and fear will no longer have the upper hand in my decision making process. I wish I could thank her for everything she was to me.
So next year then. I will be putting health (back and body) first, and will be losing 20kg. (Don't panic, I will still be in healthy weight range) I have given up the gym, to be replaced with daily dog walks, cycling, and horse riding on a more regular basis. I want to do some jumping lessons after normal lessons. I will be going Euro camping, to several exciting weddings and Matt will be 30!!
So thank you for reading this year - more updates to follow, but in the meantime I wish everyone a happy Christmas and a joyous new year.
