Keep on keeping on..and on and on

I meant to blog straight after the retreat while everything was fresh in my mind…but duty called…well work actually and before I knew it I was on a plane again – this time to the Mount!

I was just saying to Cush earlier today I haven’t felt so fantastically calm, centred and just absolutely bloody amazing as when I came back from the retreat – what a testament to location and all the amazing people on the retreat – those that helped put it together and those that contributed by taking part – I feel very grateful to have been there with all of you and now just to find a way to bottle that feeling and carry with it me always!! : ) 

So have decided to keep on keeping on with the next challenge – I had a bit of a shock with my frame size changing from med to small – so whilst at the end of this challenge I am 12kg lighter I discovered I have another 12kg to go!  So really need to kick start my weight loss again as its been taking a ‘mender’ downwards of late – think I’ve got a bit slack too. 

Time also to fess up – I had a few wines while I was away too but not feeling guilty at al l- just really felt like it and the next day I knew the following truths:

  1. I will have to work extra hard to work off those calories or accept a slight gain this week but its not the end of the world
  2. Whilst not ‘hung-over’ per say I do believe I felt the effects of this for two whole days afterwards….hmmm mental note to self to not do that again for a bit! : )

 So just really need to get back into my ‘retreat’ headspace!

 

Ciao for now xo
