Be a FIREWORK

Okay. Its obvious that its been a bit of a shit time at certain points in my life, but its all about moving forwards and upwards now.
This is why I have thrown myself full pelt into the gym, walking, being healthy and generally getting my life together.
The me before when I was feeling down, depressed, stressed and all the rest of it, well I didn't really help myself too much at times. Lots of dark thoughts, along with drinking too much alcohol, staying up late, being in bed till a ridiculous time, pushing people away... You get the idea.

Something had to give. That something, was me.

I looked at myself in the mirror (mascara under my eyes like a panda) and said:

 'Right girl, get your SHIT together!'

*From that moment, I started to make changes. I started by implementing positive thoughts, smiling more, finding reasons to be happy, reasons to smile and be positive.
*Then, for a happy and clear mind, you need a clean and clear home. That's when I decided we needed to change the layout of the kitchen, living room, dining room & bedroom. Rather than just think it, IT GOT DONE!! We also painted the bedroom.
*As got myself feeling better about myself, I wondered how I could help others. This is when the blog came into action.
* Eating. This is something that I had already been sorting out. However, I was eating at irregular times or not at all ~ I was scared to eat, as all the drugs that were treating me, tore my stomach apart, making me quite often sick. Now, I have 2-3 balanced nutritional meals a day, with fruit or veg as a snack. We have a 'day off' where we choose either fish 'n' chips or crisps & sweets (I just work extra hard at the gym!)
* Exercise. Started off really, really slow. By walking around the houses on our estate, then the local park (increasing the distance over time) and now I am sweating it out at the gym - weights, cardio, mat work and a cheeky sauna.
* Drinking. I wasn't meant to drink, with my condition or the tablets! However, I did. I still drink a hell of a lot of... WATER!! 
I do go out but not that often (sometimes not for over 3 months) I'm also a bit of a lightweight now. I know... What a party animal!!
My weekends now are spent at the gym, walking, watching movies and cooking a good home cooked meal.

In return for changing my mind set, my lifestyle, my whole attitude to life... MY LIFE, I am now starting to reap the awards. I'm in remission, I am getting a better body, I am happier, my family and friends are happier around me.

Why write this whole post?
