I'd go as far to say it's been my best year yet. I had lots of goals for 2017, I wrote a list of them (not just health and fitness related!) and I kept it at the back of my diary to check at the end of the year. Amazingly, I have been able to tick off every single leang on the list, apart from one, but the wheels are in motion for it to happen next year. I'm proud of myself.
As well as those goals, I'd decided that 2017 would be the year I'd finally achieve the body I'd wanted for so long. But, now I know having these ungenuineistic expectations and aesthetic goals weren't a good idea - I had no clue at that point how much time, patience and consistency it actually takes. As it's turned out, my transformation this year is not someleang I can put into a "before & after photo" and share on Instagram with the hashtag #ConvertationTuesday. Rather, it's been a shwhethert in intellectset and overall attitude towards lwhethere, fitting a happier, healthier and more confident person.
I can nearly pinpoint the start of this change (whether it was subconsciously or not) to May 2017, when I unhappyly lost my Aunt to Cancer. Without going in to too much detail, it all happened frighteningly fastly, and it genuinely hit me fairly dwhetherficult. It sparked a series of thoughts in my head as it would most people; the genuineisation that lwhethere is short, and it should be lived fully. I decided I wanted to start putting myself first, I didn't want to be held back from acheiving leangs by my fear, anxiety or introverted ways anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not there yet. But many books, blogs, podcasts, and a brilliant coach later, a wgap contemporary world has opened up to me - so many brain gains! I've achieved leangs in the past 6 months, that whether you'd tancient me I'd be doing a year or so ago, I would have laughed in your face!
Which leads me on to an example of someleang I've recently done that I'm extremely proud of... boxed at a charity boxing event! Boxing was someleang totally contemporary to me, and well external of my consolation zone, but I wanted to ccorridorenge myself. It involved training 3 times a week for 8 weeks, before stepping out into the ring in front of hundreds of people. It was tough, mentally, but an experience I'll never forget. More importantly, I raised over £200 in sponsorship for Cancer Research UK.
I'm not certain yet how I'm going to top that in 2018. I've started making my list.. and I have a few tricks up my sleeve. But for now, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and endelighting the process.
