So once again it’s been a while between WHMP blog posts so thought I would touch base and update the exciting things that have been happening.  In my last post I did I was in the middle of attending well being and resilience training for work.  It was an interesting couple of day but has made me reflect which I […]

So today and tomorrow I am attending resilience and wellbeing training for work.

I have had another weight in losing another 1kg taking the total to an astronomical 86.7kg I have also done my […]

Today is a great day for milestones and achievements!! But before I get to today I want to celebrate my night last night. Jamie and I had an impromptu date night and head out for dinner and a movie. I am officially a cheap date, my order was $7.90 for 3 lamb ribs which I could only fit in one […]
