My self esteem levels have improved so much so that I now have a hair style, and actually take time to do my hair. Where as before it was throw it up however, and I wouldn't even put a brush to it. I have dyed my hair which compliments my eye colour, and I wear makeup to make my best features shine. I can actually say I'm starting to care about myself and love my body for what it is, be proud of the way I present myself. It must show in my face too, because people are actually smiling back at me. I'm smiling from the inside for the first time in my life.
Family life has been great, everyone is happier and healthier. It was so great today to go see my children participate in the school sports carnival. In previous years my daughter didn't want to go but this year she was keen. It's such a good thing to see her so happy in school, we have had our fair share of finding the right school for her. Today she excelled and ran third in her race, what a champion. My son ran his race we found out today that he runs sideways, but that OK great effort for a little pre-schooler. I couldn't have been prouder.
It was so hot and shade was in short supply so I went home and got my canopy for the ladies volunteering for the BBQ fundraiser. When it came time to pack up they offered to take it to my car, I said no I'm walking today thanks. Their jaws dropped and said, "but how are you going to get this home?" Same way I got it here we walked. "What do you do boot camp or something?" said one of the ladies laughing. "Yes I do" I replied. I said thanks for packing it up and off I walked with the canopy in tow and two kids up over the hill and off home.
Now I thought that this was a completely normal thing to do. It hadn't occurred to me until now that the tent weighs 24kg, and those women think I'm nuts! I could do it easy, six months ago maybe not. I came home had a drink and followed with a circuit workout in my back yard. It was the perfect time I had just warmed up carrying the tent home. I am proud to say I can setup a training circuit for myself now.
I have this new saying "Earn your rest" people talk about motivation, and what inspires them to train. I have nothing except this phrase and it works for me. I spend the majority of my days training in the gym, and work at night. I don't really spend that much time with my partner, we are the tag team. He gets home from work on a weekday, I go to work and on weekends we have the days together unless I decide to go to the gym. Which has been the case lately because I have my rest days during the week when I have days of work. So Rod talks about Gym alot and the fact I see Gym more than him. Now Jim has become humanised and we talk about my affair with Jim. I've told him that he too can share Jim but Rod just isn't into that kind of thing. So for now I have Jim all to myself. This week being all about new phrases I have a new one "Gettin' sweaty with Jim" ..... "Yeah Caley's off gettin' sweaty with Jim" My affair with Jim has spread far and wide, and Rod's family must be getting concerned! We think its pretty funny, wait until Rod meets my personal trainer ... Jim! haha (jokes peoples) calm down ..........
