I am going through lots of journeys at the moment and one of them is my day job. People have been made redundant and we are going through a massive restructure. Believe it or not I am a part qualified accountant (story as to why I am only part qualified will be shared another time) but suffice to say it's a far cry from being creative. So by the time I get home from commuting into London, I can be pretty much done in. Which has been the pattern of late. So much so that I was completely and utterly exhausted and came down with a throat infection. A week at home sleeping and because I can never get away from it at the moment, working in between sleeps, has helped me get back to normal. It's a pattern of mine that I need to break. I exhaust myself which in turn forces me to rest.
I have lots of other things going on right now that are taking up my creative time, and I won't bore you with them, but instead I wanted to share something positive. I am not sure if you recall this post whereby I declared my intention to lose weight. Well I am delighted to say that since Christmas I have lost 2 stone!!! YUP! 28lbs of me has gone and boy am I feeling so much better. And I have decided to be brave and share a picture that was taken of me just before Christmas. It's hideous and really made me want to lose weight. And when I look at it, it spurs me on to keep going.
And here is me now, taken with me being 2 stone lighter! Look, I have a chin and a jawline! Amazing.....I knew it was in there somewhere!
I still want to lose more weight and will keep on this journey. The good news is that I am cooking up some really tasty dishes which I promise to share. I will be the guinea pig and if I think they are good I will share them.
Well thank you for stopping by and not giving up on me. I am not going to beat myself up for the lack of blogging and creativity, but instead do what I can to rectify it.
Have a lovely Wednesday and I will leave you with this quote that I have just found.....enjoy xx

Your blog post is a 'sign' for me...to re-embrace weightwatchers or at least their stratedy's...I lost a stone and a half last year after my buba was born and lost 1 1/2 stone, I felt brilliant! Now I've allowed 10 lbs to creep back on :0(....so I'm going to do something about it!!! Inspired by you!!
girlie....keep going!! xxx
Aww thanks Ciara, that means so much to me. It's hard and some days (like Monday) I ate far too many bad things, but hey, I am human. Good luck with the weight loss and thanks again for taking the time to comment, it means a lot :) xx
