A Year of Firsts.....

I am going to blow my own Trumpet a little here :) So please excuse me while I do
HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see on the 28th of June 2011 I decided to change my life. I was 86+kg, I smoked, I couldn't walk up my own drive way without being extremely puffed out and I was self conscious and unhappy.

That day I gave up a 22 year habit, and started Tae Kwon Do lol I knocked 2 birds down with 1 stone because I not only gave up smoking but I thought to myself  (it doesn't matter what everyone thinks when they see me running round breathless) it only matters that I do it because I new I needed to do one thing to replace the other.

12 months later and I am proud to say that I have become someone the old me would have like to be. I have completed 3x 5km Walks, Round 1 of Michelle Bridges 12wbt, lost 19kg to date, I compete in Tae Kwon Do Tournaments, I have walked 25km for fun and I am learning to run...

 Oh and there is so much more to come... I am competing in an international Tae Kwon Do Tournament in Sydney in September and I am doing The Tough Guy Tough Girl challenge in Rotorua in August with a heap of new Friends and I am 3 weeks into Round 2 of my next 12wbt.

 And as for my Self Esteem- Well she is allot happier these days, She looks in the Mirror and remembers that she is a Goddess, all she needed to do was take a good hard look at herself and believe :)
