Brand spanking new year...

I have never been happier to welcome a brand spanking new year. I had a fantastic Christmas and new year (first sober one in forever) filled spending time with family and friends and enjoying myself, I do hope all of you had a great time!

Now here we are.. I really did go into the start of this year with a positive attitude and Jesus Christ its working for me!

Right now I feel great! After two months off work sick I am finally back YAY. I came back on Monday this week 7.1.19 and so far I am absolutely loving it, its so nice to see my friends and my clients. I have only seen a few clients so far but they've been happy to see me and I've been mega happy to see them! Being back at work has given me a purpose again, a reason to get up in the morning and a reason to actually get dressed (seriously I was going to the Drs in my pjs). I'm making phone calls, doing paperwork and of course drinking way to much black coffee but I feel like a pretty normal human being again.

Now of course pain doesn't just disappear but I am learning to manage better, a combination of different pain meds really helps to keep most of the pain at bay from morning until afternoon which is a big help. I'm starting to become more active again and I think that's had a massive improvement on my pain and my fatigue don't get me wrong I'm still tired and unfortunately there isn't a lot that can be done to help fatigue but at least right now its not crippling fatigue keeping me in bed.

As its a brand new year obviously I am back on the slimming world bandwagon... I have been totally on plan since new years day and I'm so bloody proud of myself and I'm enjoying myself again. I am my own number one fan right now for being so good considering I still have a mountain of Christmas choccy to devour but not yet, maybe when I've lost a stone or two. I purchased a beautiful food diary all made for slimming world its been helping me keep track of the food I'm eating and I do use an Instagram to post daily food and other bits. So far so good and I really hope it stays this way and I will keep you updated!

The end of last year ms was a shit to me and I let it take over! I tried to think positive but the pain and fatigue stopped me! But not anymore! I know there will be bad days/weeks/months but just because it has hold over my body doesn't mean it has to have control over my mind. I am determined to carry on this year just how I started.

With a positive mindset!
