+jLooking good girly!

Had a really good short weights & yoga home workout today, but the pain is so real! 
Trying so hard to focus on the present and not the past! 

This journey is for now, I wasn’t ready to be on it years ago!
Positive note: when I watched the video back for the first time in a long time, I thought to myself “damn, you look GOOD!” 

Yasss! Health coach high! 💚

Yoga is back! 

So happy that my confidence is back with my Yoga practice!
Thanks to that of my Yoga bestie for helping me even when she doesn’t know that she has!
And thanks to yoga for teaching me how to still my mind, how to open my heart, for teaching me how to be brave and how to see light in every dark situation.
And so, the journey continues!

Yoga workshop #2

Excited & anxious all at the same time! This morning I am off to my 2nd Yoga workshop, this time it’s with another of my beautiful Yoga teachers, Denise – @smallworldyogi! 
I really am amazing myself with how far I’ve come on this journey, not just my Yoga journey but my life journey! Thanks to my yoga I am more open to learning new things about myself, my confidence to travel further and go to new places on my own has to be one of the most noticeable things for me! I would never have even dreamt of doing this a year ago! 
From reading that, you might be wondering “travel further, where is she going for this workshop?”

Well, its only just over 6 miles away but its an area I’m not used to driving to and last time me & my yoga bestie attempted to go to Denise’s class, we got lost! 

So, because of that, and because I’ll be on my own, I’ve given myself added pressure and anxiety where it isn’t needed! 

I could ask for my DebbieRahRah to take me but this is something I have to do and I can do it!

Thank you all so much!

Thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday yesterday, you all made it incredibly special! 🎉💕🦄
What an incredible day it was! Waking up with my most precious humans singing to me, showered in wonderful gifts, video calls from Mummy in Cyprus & Daddy in Norfolk, and all the notifications that you beautiful people sent me!
Lunch was spectacular as always, at The Tarro Lounge in Hinckley, gluten free as well, perfect! I think we could have stayed there all day but we were needed back home at The Manor! 
I don’t think we were home more than 30 minutes when the Fugly Manor Madness began! 

Guest arriving after guest, as one left another appeared, it was perfect! 

Even had a mini clubbercise from Kate & Deb (watch out for that video! 😂) 
I say it every year, I feel like the luckiest person alive to have so many amazing people in my life!

Sisters, Brothers, friends & blood, my tribe! I love you all so much & I feel it back! 
Life is amazing, thank you for being a part of it & making it so magical! 

I would love to tag you all in this post but that would be near impossible! Just know that my thank you is to everyone! 😊😚💗

Life lessons

Its those moments, you know the ones that you don’t see an end to? The ones you wish you could just run from, flee the seen and pretend it never happened.

There’s also those times when something really just rubs you up the wrong way, or times that created a chain of unfortunate events.

Do you know what I mean?
Well, take a breath, because these are the moments that are shaping your life. These are the things that make the future you a much stronger person.
There really is a lesson in every situation.

From the smallest thing, to the moment your life changed forever. 

Don’t question “why you” 

Instead try and say “thank you”. If not at the time, I promise you, you’ll be gratful for every lesson in the future.
See the positivity in every situation!
🙏

Spiritual relationships

I love being with those that truly ‘get me’ 

If your in my life, you get me! 

I have never felt more right about my life journey! I’m heading in the right direction, appreciating the bumps along the way and making room for change when change is needed! 

Mind shifts are happening and I couldn’t be happier! 

Spiritual relationships shape my life!
🙏👏💚

My agony weekend *Monday*

Wifey has been such a star all weekend, giving me the strength and courage to eat! 

Look at what she made me today, an open top chicken salad sandwich, with gluten free bread! 
I know it may sound odd that she’s giving me strength and courage to eat, but when you’ve been in as much pain when ur stomach is trying to digest food, sometimes it seems easier to not eat! 
That’s what happened to me 15 years ago! The exact same symptoms, except I didn’t eat for 6 weeks? I was so shocked when they told me I had a stomach ulcer, even though test results were in conclusive! 
I’m still not right but at least I’m eating & its good food! 

I’m not in as much pain as I was either! That’s the best part for me! 

Going to carry on taking it easy, unfortunately that means I haven’t had my endorphin fix since Friday, but I’ll get over it! 
I do still plan on a nice Chi Yoga class on Wednesday then resting again! 

Onwards and Upwards! I have got this, I may not have control over my health but I have control over how I handle it! 
🙏

My agony weekend *Sunday night – Monday morning*

So this was my wonderful evening! Finally got to sleep around 04:30 I think! 🤔😣
Wide awake and haven’t slept at all yet! This is gonna be a long night!

My agony weekend *Sunday*

Ok, so, although I’m feeling better in myself after eating a small plate of Sweet Potato chips cooked with Coconut oil last night, and not feeling too much pain in my stomach after, I’m still not ‘right’!

I’ve just had a lovely shower and got my Comfy clothes on, but as soon as my bra went on, it came straight back off! 

The pain around my stomach (organ, not area 😉) is so bad! 

This is the same symptom I had around 15 years ago when I couldn’t eat for 6 weeks because digesting food was too painful! 

Fingers crossed I’m ok after my dinner today! 

Is this MS, Fibromyalgia or something totally different?
