It’s been 275 days…
Hey it’s been a while, and when I say a while I mean a WHILE. It’s been 275 days to be precise since we last spoke (nearly a whole flipping year Alice! Note to self don’t let that happen again) but I mean who is counting? Why don’t I very quickly bring you up to speed.
One beautiful sunset, one night over the past 275 days...
The past 275 days have been filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. Lots of questioning, self reflection and healing. Lots of days riddled with anxieties, self doubts and sleepless nights. Panic attacks and what has felt like lots of steps back and a really hard month of April.
It has also been filled with endless gym visits, a new found love for yoga and the start of a very exciting challenge (did someone mention a marathon in 2025?).
Some fabulous holidays and incredible memories that will last a lifetime. So many books have been read, my journal has been filled with so many thoughts, brain dumps, scrapbook pages and emotions both joyful and sad.
A 26 birthday came and went, I kept on top of my luxurious monthly nail appointments for the ever so important self care. Regular physio check-ins to keep my body on track after the years of stress.
Taking care of me has been somewhat of a priority for once and I am proud of that. Looking after both my physical well-being alongside my mental health in the last 275 days has become more important than ever. I’ve gone back to therapy, something that took me a long time to admit I needed again.
Running has now become a part of my new normal and I am enjoying each step I take.
Changing my mindset and approach to fitness and working out has been one of the main takeaways from the last 275 days. Training in order to love my body and feel strong, as though I can take on anything. Not to fit a certain size of clothing, look a certain way in photos or see a number on the scales. Working out because it’s fun and makes me feel fabulous is definitely the way forward. It’s taking me years to heal my relationship with exercise and my body but the last 275 days have been quite the start to the next chapter of that story. I feel like I might be slowly turning a corner?
There is probably way more to say if I am honest but I think that might have brought you up to speed a little? (it has taken me about two weeks to write this post so the procrastination must stop!). Long and short of it is you’ve not missed much! I am ready to get back to sharing life with you, going through the highs and lows together! Bring on the second half of 2024! Let’s make them the best months yet! ❤️
