Latest rant

So I had a mental breakdown on Monday feeling like I never get to do things for myself but just for the rest of my family and that got me thinking - what would I do if I had the time and a stark reality hit me.

I left home at 18 (1990)started nursing for 3 1/2 years my life was studying nursing, once qualified I worked a few years then on top of working full time I started to study for my 4 year degree course online, which during that time I got married and eventually moved to California and finished my degree, so i had a year off in the USA in which i studied and applied for my nursing license, and during my free time I did a theater production of Oliver and did tap classes. By now it was 2002 I got a job, had a baby, kept working, baby grew up, wanted to do activities I took him and ended up doing all this "mandatory" volunteering.

So that is me up to date and if I say pretty pathetic.

I have basically done nothing for myself except earn a living.

What would I like to do - I have no flipping idea. I like to cook but am too fat to eat, so there is a problem.

Any suggestions to my dilemma will be very welcome!!

Last big rehearsal

So today was the last big rehearsal and to be honest i am so glad mainly because we as a family are just so tired, it will be so nice to have Nathaniel back to his cheery self after being able to rest properly and go to bed on time for a change and eat some healthy meals!!

He has I think enjoyed the process but understands the need for a break!

He has little mermaid in 3 weeks, after that who knows where his stage career will head!!

So no complaining lots of smiles and 3 more shows!!

here goes!

Skinny thinking

So facebook is terrible for games but every so often you find something interesting, I am finding out and following Laura Katleman-Prue and her idea about skinny thinking,

today is day 1 of her 91 day plan to get everyone "skinny thinking" so here goes!

Today you have to focus on at least 5 minutes of exercise Freedom is possible.

I also managed to get back on track with boot camp after family responsibilities stopped me from going last wednesday and Friday, luckily the leader is kind and does not shame me for not going!! Those push ups were extra hard today!

I am also going to try and do at least 30 mins strength and yoga on the wii to get my balance better!!

Happy Monday!!
