A quick catch up....

I havent written in a while, well its been a few months.
Alot has happened since i last wrote, Where do i start....
Well this year I am a student it sounds strange being 30 years old and saying i am a student.
I am going to tafe, i completed cert 3 in fitness and next week i start cert 4 in fitness, by the end of the year i will be a fully qualified personal trainer.
I still have a long way to go in my own fitness journey but im still heading in the right direction, at the moment my weight loss has stalled again and i have a injury, i fractured my right foot so at the moment i am on crutches and have to wear a moon boot which makes me feel so miserable because there is so much i cant do. Im actully missing my cardio workouts.
Im worried that im going ot gain weight or lose the strength i had in my leg before i fractured my foot, I am sticking to my healthy eating although i have slipped up a couple times and ate junk, im going back to my completely clean eating. As you would know if you have read my previous posts i am a emotional eater and i have a really bad habit of turning to junk food for comfort, I am working really hard on stopping the nasty cycle and i am slowly winning the battle with my thoughts.
I am still going to the gym and am doing upper body weights because i cant train legs, for cardio I have been doing boxing, that helps keep my mind a little bit more sane.
In may my husband and I went to Melbourne for a adoption information night, we were told after the information session that we have to wait another 3 years before we can apply to adopt, I have to be 5 years cancerfree, I was shattered when we got told. I dont know why we were invited to go if we have to wait another 3 years, I feel like my body has let me down again.
So after we wait another 3 years we are aloud to apply for adoption, then we will go on a list for 2 years with no guarantee of getting a child. Im not sure if Rob & I will get the chance to be parents.
At the moment I am going through more health problems, this time its my heart, I ended up in the emergency ward at the hospital Friday night due to my heart, it felt like i was having a heart attack, they arent sure what happened but my Dr has sent me to see a cardiologist (heart specialist) to get some tests done to see if they can find out whats going on with it, Hopefully its nothing serious.

I turned 30 in march and a friend asked me what do i want to achieve in the next year, I had to have a think about it and here is a few that i came up with:
I want to go to the snow, ive never been.
I want to see something ive never seen.
I want to pass my fitness course and become a personal trainer so I can help other people change their lives.
I want to continue on my fitness journey and make myself proud.
I want to do the Eureka Tower climb again, I have 4 months to go till the Eureka Tower climb and i want to be able to do it so hopefully my foot heals and my heart is nothing that will stop me.
I want to get under 100kgs by my next birthday.
Anyway i better be off now, I will write once a week from now on.
Thank you to my readers who have emailed me.
Love Always
