The beginning

Well Ithought I would give this blogging a go.....

This is a place about me and my journey in making me the best I can be... its time for me now to get my life where I want it to be.... I want to have time for me, I wonder if that is being selfish or wrong but I just feel its something I need to do.

My family is wonderful my kids are my life I am such a very proud mum my hubby is supportive and loving I am indeed very blessed.

I am now 32 kilos lighter than when i started this journey 2 years ago... it hasnt been easy but its for life this is me now and that isn't going to change I love my riding, boxing and just anything that is exercise. I would love to be able to run but my body just doesn't like it so I do what I can enough for the pink tris.

But my love is cycling... I just love its freedom, just pedalling away pushing yourself hard climbing those hills is just something I so enjoy... without realising coming down a hill I have been known to burst into song..... its just magic. I live in such a beautiful valley the country roads are just so good to ride along there is some traffic but it isn't too bad.

The next stage is riding longer distances I would love to feel confident enough to participate in the brisbane to gold coast ride or to get to south bank one saturday morning and do the 32 k ride along the river.... I dream of having a road bike now I know I could handle it, just need time to work out how I can get one.... there are so many other things need doing around here first....but I will get that bike one day. For now my hybrid gives me life and freedom.....

I suppose I could keep blogging here for ages... I will come back and do more because hbc to me now is something that isn't giving me what I want.... I feel so isolated from the girls.. they all meet up so often now and I just can't get there... so I am lost.. Good news though is a local lady Linda wants to ride with me so we are going to work on that, hopefully good weather tomorrow and we shall have our first ride.. together ....

Thanks for a good friend in Bekkles who said for me to start a blog. so she can keep track of me and my rides..... hope you enjoy my efforst Bek as I enjoy yours... happy reading..
