Always be a work in progress #Boobday

I’ve been caught reflecting on myself, exploring hidden depths to inspect the work in progress of me.

Being a work in progress is a funny thing.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Turning 35 was the end of an incredibly painful year and I was so very, very low. I can barely believe the change in me since then or the progress I have made in the last year, but finding this picture left me reflecting again. This was taken almost mid way between birthdays. It’s very easy for me to look at it and see the physical imperfections. Or that should say my perceived imperfections

But that’s not what #Boobday is about!

I started making healthier choices last november, losing 4.5 stone to date. If you are have read many of my posts you will know that I enjoy running too. It isn’t the physical changes that I see in this picture. Last year I had sallow skin and almost constant panda eyes, spending the majority of my time covered in bulky clothes. The peace that I see in the picture above is my everyday now, the demons are much easier to control at the moment and I enjoy just being at peace.

At peace with myself, and with the world around me.

Perhaps I can be scatty from time to time. Maybe there is a tendency to lose focus on the additional tasks. However, I know that the important things are taken care of.

I wonder what progress I will make over the next year.

I’ve got many things to look forward to, goals to achieve and an enthusiasm I never had in my twenties. Exploring my kinks, meeting new people and remembering to nurture not just my children, but myself as well!
