I Went Away for a While…

Posted on the 27 April 2012 by Thesecretlifeofjen

Wow… where did the last two months go?

Yep, you might have guessed it – my absence means that I not only dropped out of the blogging world, but the ‘fitness/health/generally looking after myself’ world too.  Yes, life gets in the way; but that’s not how I want it to be.  I want it to be part of my life, a part that I don’t have think about, a part that comes naturally to me.  Perhaps this will never be the case, but I can hope, and try my very best to make it routine.

So what’s news?
- I went to Tasmania for a week for a wedding: It was great to go to a wedding so close to my own – got some ideas about what I do (and don’t) want at our wedding.  I also had great intentions in terms of exercise and took my joggers, but it was a complete fail.  I went for one walk. One!
- I started work.  Part time at this stage, which means I should have no excuses about exercise.  Even so, it has been pretty tiring.  I am a bit out of my comfort zone, which is great, but also challenging.  So I clearly need to work out what will work best for me: a.m./p.m.?
- I have been ‘sucking it up’ and starting the wedding planning process:  I will share soon, bit by bit 

 Our wedding is in Sydney which means I have been doing the trip up and back a fair bit (also interfering with my routine).
- Over the last two months, I have gained about a kilo, and my body fat has increased about 1%

And what’s ahead?
- The countdown is on. 4.5 months: eeeep!  To the wedding that is 
- It’s time to get back to routine – goals, plan, do, etc etc!
- Weight lifting, barefoot running, here I am
- Bodymedia, you will be my friend; Sugar you are not my friend.

May goals to come soon!  And a wedding update
