New look, New focus

The past few years have been difficult for me… Losing my first love, my hero; my Dad.  Losing my biggest inspiration, the one who just has so much love and positivity; my NaNa.  I have felt like a lost puppy, I have given up.  I have stopped caring about myself, and my health.  The only things that are keeping me going right now are my two boys, and my business that I have started up again.

While I was stressed for my Dad being in and out of hospitals, I decided to fight back against the stress and get shredded with INSANITY.  I was unstoppable, I consistently woke up everyday at 6:00am to do my hour workout.  I was careful about the food that I was putting into my body. And I was healthy and happy.

Since my Dad has passed, I have completely given up.  I don’t get excited about much anymore.  I have let stress take over and consume me.  I am an emotional eater, I have not done a full workout video. I got lost.

My husband surprised me with tickets to Shauntervention in Toronto, in May this year.  It was such an amazing experience!! The only problem was, I couldn’t help but cry a few times when I was there.  I had hoped to be in the great shape I used to be when I went.  But I wasn’t, I didn’t feel good about myself, and it just made me disappointed in myself. 

Well, it is time for me to snap out of it!! My Dad and NaNa would not want me to be this miserable lump! No one is going to be able to do it for me, I need to want to change.  Time to take back control of my life.  Time to start doing the things I enjoy; blogging, decorating the house, knitting, sewing, and working on myself!!

I would like to shift the focus of my blog to all things health, but there will still be brag posts when I do a DIY project that I am proud of.  I can’t wait to be proud again!! 

Time to get happy again!  I feel like I have way too many of these type of posts! Sorry!

And since I find posts are boring without photos…
