Workout journey

Hi all

I wanted to write a blog on my journey to a healthy living.

It's been over 4 months since I've had my daughter and for the last few months I've tried to go to the gym as much as I can but as some of you can understand and relate, it is very hard when you have a baby to stick to any sort of routine, weather it is to go to the gym, to eat, return phone calls or remember what day it is..... I could go on. Forgetfulness has been something I’ve mastered since becoming a mother.

Even with the help of my parents and sister, I’ve missed some days in the gym. So I decided to do my work out at home. Unfortunately that didn't work out either as I'm naturally skinny and in order for me to put on a little weight (this is something that I want to do) I have to do weights and be very regular with my eating and training.

To achieve what I have set out for myself I decided to take action and order some weights from Argos (I checked eBay and the best option for me was Argos). From tomorrow I will be writing my own program and aiming to train 5/6 days a week (this is very normal for me as I’ve always been a fit person and have trained most of my life)
I will be posting my transformation and keeping you all updated on my journey to becoming fitter, toned and a size bigger.
I’m a size 6/8, aiming to be a full 8 or even a 10
Currently I weight 8.5 stones (119 pounds)
I look forward to posting pictures and one day sharing my work out program with you.

When is the right time to DATE?

Here I ‘am  ... laying in bed whilst my daughter sleeps next to me, listening to my friends voice note about yet another date she's been on and getting all the ins and outs of her evening..... and I mean ALL the ins and outs..... the nitty gritty details... where he took her, what they spoke about, how good a kisser he was, the size of his.........you get the drift.

She sounds excited, happy, ALIVE. I’ve discussed this with her plenty of times in regards to what I should do and her response has always been to wait until I'm ready, as right now I have allot happening in my life with the divorce and everything else.

So here I ‘am ..... thinking...... OVER THINKING. When is it the best time to date when you've broken up from a long term relationship.... or in my case broke up after 5 years, in a middle of a divorce while being a first time mum to a 4 months old baby.

Is there a too soon period? Or is there a period at all? Is there a right or wrong answer or am I making this into a much bigger issue than it is? And let's say I started dating, am I going to trust again? Am I going to tip toe around every man I meet after what I’ve been put through? Because the last thing I want to be when I get into a relationship is damaged goods.

I have so many questions but not sure who is the right person for me to ask. A person who is single and enjoying life?  Or someone in a relationship? .... My mum?...... ok ok she's definitely not the right person to ask as most likely she'll slap me for even thinking about another man when the one I married fucked right off.

So here's to the ladies out there that's been through a break up (kids or no kids) how long did you wait until you went on a date? Was it hard to trust? Did you ever trust again? Or what was your healing process? Tell me your stories ladies.

I'm not too sure why but I want to be divorced before I even open that door. Then again I’ve never been divorced, so I’m not sure how long the process takes, all I know is, in UK you have to be married at least a year before you can file for divorce. We got married in august 2015. LET THE COUNT DOWN BEGIN.

Plus my daughter takes so much of my time that I don't know when to even find the time to speak with someone....

Anyway, how do people even meet these days? Everyone is on tinder, POF or on some matching sites. ... is this the 2016 dating scene?

On that note.... it's nappy change and feeding time. Until my next blog 💋
