Ok. I know I shouldn’t be saying this right now, but I’m in class and have been meaning to write a blog for so long it’s not even funny. So I’ve decided to get onto that now, because I’ve got a very interesting couple of weeks/months coming up. Exams (and I find this incredible, because it’s gone so fast) are just around the corner. Literally. The second half of my studying journey is almost at an end, and I’m about to take on the epic task of completing not only my mocks, but my school exams, my CIBTAC exams and the mammoth CIDESCO exam, which is going to take up a WHOLE DAY. Probably around 7 hours to be exact. And so that means, if I pass (and I’m not failing, failure isn’t an option!) I’ll not only be qualified for aesthetics (beauty…in layman’s terms) but I’ll also be qualified for body massage, electrolysis, body electricals, and figure analysis. Woah. My head spins sometimes when I think about how quickly this is all passing. But onwards and upwards I go…I’m taking a 94% average along with me so….here goes. Watch this space!
I’ve been on so many journey’s recently. I sometimes laugh at how different my life is now, compared to what it was only 3 years ago. I have amazing friends. Some of them have been with me for a long time, some knew me even before I finished University. Others I have known for less, but have impacted my life in such a way I honestly could not imagine my life differently. I love all the differences we each have, but that we can all be together and enjoy each other’s company so much. I feel amazingly loved, I feel as though this is how life should be, and it’s so strange that this has all come into fruition since taking my first steps to lose weight for real. The support that I get from everyone – my personal trainer, my tutors, my class-mates (who are only class mates in name, I consider them my friends just as much as the next person), my family, my friends (old and new), my son (even though he doesn’t know it) and of course Michael, my amazing partner and my best friend. My partner in crime, and not just in crime, in everything. I could not imagine taking on the gigantic task of losing…wait…what is it I have to lose again? Oh hang on…I think it’s about 60 kilograms. That’s a whole person. BUT…I have to stop myself there. Because thinking of it that way is more destructive that constructive. Because the good news is, since I stepped on the scales that day in the doctors office, I have lost a grand total of 12 of those kilograms (8kg since starting up with Sheta). And it feels freaking amazingly good. I did it. I did it the right way, and I did it myself. I ate well (reasonably…hey…birthday’s don’t count!), I pushed myself even when I didn’t want to and I went to the gym and worked my arse off (literally…it’s shrinking). Oh and did I mention I’ve also lost 45 cm from my body? It’s true…almost HALF A METRE has disappeared from my body. It feels even better to write that.
Mike has done fabulously. I love how positive he always is. This week he gained a kilo, but does that set him back. Noooo. Does he want to pack it all in and eat a double down? No way. He puts a smile on his face, he picks himself up, and he works even harder. I bet you, the next time I write another blog, he will have lost huge amounts of weight. I’ll even bet on numbers. I’m going to say that he will have lost at least a kilogram. At least. I’ll bet he’ll even lose 2. I am so proud of him. I can’t even begin to describe how proud I am of him. And how grateful I am that I have him with me on this journey. I literally am the luckiest woman on earth. Hopefully he knows that, but if he doesn’t (and I’m sure he will read this) he should know how amazing he is and that everyone thinks so.
So, I’ve got a long way to go. This isn’t going to be over any time soon. In fact, it’s not going to be over in my lifetime I would imagine. But I’m still glad I’m doing it.
Wish me luck for my exams guys…it’s going to be madness for the next couple of months! As always, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting and loving us both. We are always blown away by the love we receive from all of you.
Until next time,

P.S – Somebody at my course stole my lunch today. They stole my SOUP. Seriously…I have enough trouble staying on track with my eating without someone getting hungry and stealing my lunch! It was pea and ham and I was really looking forward to it. Sometimes the mentality of people amazes me. So if the news comes on and you hear about a “soup related murder”…that may (or may not) have been me!
P.P.S – I’m huuuuuungry!
