I'm still here.....


I'm still here, still plodding along.
Haven't gained any more weight since I got back from Sydney - currently sitting on about 112kg.
And I'm happy about the not gaining part.... can't say I'm that thrilled with the not losing part, but until I get my head back to where it needs to be - that will just have to do!!
Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up, I have no intention of ever giving up and going back to that 162kg slob that I used to be!
It seems like a lifetime ago, yet some days it seems like just yesterday!  
Weird huh?
I've had a few emails recently from people with words of encouragement, words of advice, some words of concern about my noticeable absence....
But I'm here to tell you that I'm good.
In fact I'm doing really really well!!
But the fact of the matter is, is that this blog and my website in general are no longer major parts of my life.
I don't feel the need to come in and bleat on about my day, however boring or exciting it may have been.
I have an amazing daughter, a wonderful family, some fantastic friends, and a great job.
I'm happy with where I am at right now.
I'm enjoying life, getting out with my girlfriends, meeting new people, doing new things.
I'm trying to be the best mum that I can be when I have Rhian here with me, and I'm really enjoying her more and more each day.
She is at such a gorgeous age....
Just the other day she put her little handbag over her arm and informed me that she was "going to work mummy"
And off out the door she toddled, walked to the car, walked back again, and then told me that she was going to the shop instead!
Came back with some "lollies" (stones) for me, then she was off again to another shop....
Too cute!!
She had me in fits of laughter!!!!
She is my world, and I would do anything for her....
Which is why I am thinking of stepping outside my comfort zone and taking up an amazing offer that I have been given....
A friend of mine has bought a house that he is currently renovating.
He has suggested that I rent it from him, paying a minimal rent, on the condition that he can renovate around me.
It would give me the chance to save some serious money, and in turn enable me to buy my own home much much sooner than I could have ever dreamed of!!!
I really like my little unit that I am renting now, but it is expensive, and although it is manageable, money is rather tight, and at the end of the day - it's not MINE!
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm thinking about it, and will look at it more seriously after Christmas.
Things are busy at work, which is good - cos it keeps me focused.
When I have Rhian, it is all about her, we do things together, we have fun...
When I don't have Rhian, it is all about me!
I hang with my girlfriends, I go out for dinner and drinks, and I even go out pubbing and clubbing.
I'm having a blast and I'm happy.
Truly, honestly happy.
So with that in mind..... I'm completely fine with letting this blog go for a bit.
I'm not closing it, or ceasing to write updates, but I can tell you now that the updates will be even more scarce than what they have been now.
I'll be back to blow my trumpet when I need to, and vent or rant when I want to, but for now..... it's just gonna have a rest!
No dramas, no hassles, just a rest....
