#midyearresolution

They say, Summer bodies are made in Winter. Well, today I started building! Not just a Summer body but a Summer kind of lifestyle … that looks good not just in time for Summer but all year round, just trying to be the very best out of all the seasons you know? Cause Summer is my ultimate season of the year & in our part of the world there’s little not to love about it!

When I dreamt up this mid year resolution, I had this idea that I would do my very best to fit my work outs in during Tye’s nap … I also realised that seemed really ambitious, considering how clingy he can be + how this “growing up” thing can mess with his day to day routine. Well , today … IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! Which was an amazing start to our journey + he woke after a shower + lunch prep! After we all ate lunch together it was then time to get Relly from school … & then things went down hill from there pretty fast. All afternoon he was a clingy nightmare, not even a bubble bath could save me from this one. I had a sink filled with dishes, the house was almost completely upside down + I had planned for my uncle visiting from Fiji, to come round & catch up with my parents whilst dropping something off for me. It was quite the first world problem having a dishwasher but a wicked clinger of a baby stopping me from even loading it! What a problem I thought I’d never endure in my parents house growing up, cause they never had a dishwasher til I got one for my mum for mother’s day after Relly was born! ha . Any who, my parents came home + the house was still a mess … & they helped straighten all the kinks out around the house, while I also put the boys through their afternoon paces of showers + dinner & all that other mum stuff.

But after a killer afternoon with clinger baby of the year, I was so thankful that I had the opportunity to work out earlier + that I took it!! As painful as it was for me to try do things around the house all afternoon & fail miserably, clingy Tye really put into perspective what mattered most + what I placed my importance on. Sure, my mum came home + was appalled at the sight on the house … but at the end of the day, for once I placed more value on me + my health rather than all those little things that get in the way & can take up so much space + importance in my day & my life. It’s so stupid, but getting all those little things done + being on top of everything all the time , or constantly striving to be, takes up way too much space in my life. It stresses me out, it takes away time + moments that could be so special because I’m obsessing over this useless little tasks. Those little things can wait, if it means I’m placing value in myself by working at being the very best I can be.

Hello again,

It’s been a while hasn’t it? Totally my fault I know, although I did state in my first post that I might be an erratic blogger. 

I don’t know how widespread the concept of the mid-year resolution is, but I’ll make one right now anyway. For the remainder of 2015 I’ll ensure that at the very least I’ll be uploading a post once a month. A rather low-hanging objective I admit, but any ambitious plans I have will have to wait until 2016. So from next week onwards keep your eyes observant.

Enjoy your weekends.

Before the end of this year I will:

- tone my body

- travel more

- get signed with a model agency

- get involved with making music
