But specifically over the last couple months she has really been supportive and encouraging which has been really […]

Today I had my 12 month appointment with the life coach as a part of my surgeons aftercare team. I had a really good appointment and talked through my mental barriers and mental demons that have appeared on my sleeve journey.

Wow what a busy busy stressful day!! My day was supposed to start at 5.20am when my alarm went off to go to my PT session with Anita, however my day instead started at 2am with a bad news email! Today was a big day for me at work with the production of a promotional video for the project I […]

Had a family day at Marion shopping centre and came home at 2pm realised that I hadn’t eaten all day….oopsy! Eventually ended up […]

Saturday morning means one thing…..gym date with my main little guy! Off we went on our little weekly outing together! I was preparing myself more than I normally do, wardrobe wise and I decided to double bag the wind socks!! Lately as I have been pushing myself more I have found the jiggle factor has been really bloody comfortable and […]
