Life Changes

I am at that point in my life where everything comes at once and needs to be done yesterday.  


Being a 40something marriage is one of them.  


It was a leap year this year so I spied my chance to ask my better half to marry me... surprisingly he said "why not", oh my goodness he meant it! 


This was followed by a need to formalise our wills and now an added worry every morning when we part ways that I believe we both need to be careful because we are not married yet.  This craziness results in the morning ritual of me telling him to "be careful".... he commutes into the city of London on his velo.

With the urgency to marry I am now embarking on a well needed controlled healthy eating regime, no girl wants to look frumpy in what ever wedding attire she chooses. 


The plan initially is to get back into my nice skinny combats within 3 months  without having to bust a blood vessel in the process.  



So what else... a return to my own velo commute in the mornings and an ambition to run 10k again by August, neither of these two challenges are difficult to me, I enjoy them when I slip on the lycra... its just convincing myself that my bum doesn't look too big that people will gawp as I pass.  I am proud of my journey in this area as I mastered the psychology at the weekend and did a short 3km jog round my local park in the sun.  Unfortunately sickness the past two days has prevailed and the lycra has remained in the wash basket and clean clothes pile.  I am promising myself with the use of the prescribed drugs by the end of the week I will be back in full endorphin flow.


These life changes need to be maintained and by talking about them here I see a positive influence on their maintenance. I think the marriage bit is already on the cards so no help needed there.


Next time I return I will have released the athlete in me and turned my back on the Lindt Sea Salt flavoured dark chocolate.... I wish myself luck ;)
