The start of something new........

So, today I booked myself on a L2 gym instructor course and then a L3 Personal Trainer course and I actually cannot wait to get started in the new year.

I've only ever had two jobs since I was 16, and both of them have been working in restaurants. In both of these jobs I have worked my way up to manager level. As time is getting on I've decided I need a change as I'm getting a bit fed up, and the kids are at an age where I don't have to do EVERYTHING for them. Although they are only 6, so I still have to cook I guess, and remind my son to change his socks at least once a week!

Anyways, I've always been interested and enjoyed sport and exercise. But what with work and kids, I just never seemed to find the time and I've been thinking about doing it for a long time now. Especially since joining a running group just over a year ago. I was nervous about joining the group, but it's also one of the best things I've done and I've made some friends along the way. So I've done something about it..............

When I was at school we all had to do some work experience. I arranged to to mine at a leisure centre, as I fancied working in one. In what capacity I wasn't sure, but it interested me. The day before I was due to start I got appendicitis. So it never happened.......
It wasn't until I booked my course today that I wondered if I hadn't have got ill would I be working in the industry I'm in now. But, on the other side of the coin I probably wouldn't have met my hubby and have my gorgeous kids. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. So here's to the future........whatever it brings..........

My Week....again!

This is the second time I'm gonna try and write this! The first time I wrote it all out and before I could post it I got distracted by my kids and deleted it!!
So here we go......

It's not been a particularly eventful week. But it's been the first full week of normality since the kids went back to school. Peter and I even managed to have the same days off and spend some time together (whilst the kids were at school).

My Wednesday night running group restarted and I was dreading it. For no other reason than I'd majorly overstuffed during the crimbo period! But considering that, I felt really good and did better than I thought I might. I still ached on Thursday though! But it's a start. I've also said I will compete in two 5k runs in Feb. So more reason to put more effort in to my running!

That's about it really... Not much else to report.

Oh and we managed to sort out our garage at long bloody last AND de-mice it!! Yes we had mice in the garage, actually caught 5 altogether! But that's for another blog!!!
