Well what can I say? I am or at least I was a self confessed carbohydrate munching couch potato. Unable to look at myself in the mirror, shop for clothes or actually walk and talk at the same time I knew it was time to change!
The all changing moment happened last April when I was asked to don my ice skates again for the first time in 15 years and play in a charity ice hockey match with my old colleagues the Scottish Ladies Ice Hockey Club. The game was to be a charity match against the current team. Like most people who havn't done much in 15 years I was stuck with the feeling of dread not about stepping back on the ice but, how on earth will I get the gear back on. Back then although never a skinny thing I was for all intents and purposes half my size!!!!! Asking my parents where my kit was, I think I was preying that they had binned it all so I could say sorry I can't play. True to form though the hoarders had it all in their loft. My excuse was now gone.
So thats how it all began, my quest to completely change not only what I looked like but my whole view and perception on life and where my love and passion for exercise and sport was awakened. The rebirth had occured...........the pheonix had risen from the ashes, well she is slowley still rising so I hope you will follow her birth x
