This is life and this is my crazy life...

As I walked my daughter to school this morning I realised something - it’s January 12th 2015 and I am turning 30 this year argh…! I've made a decision that this is a new year with a new start. Firstly, I’ve decided to quit smoking, today is the first day and it's going well so far. I also decided I want to shift the four stone that I have put on over the past 8 years so it's back to healthy eating and being more active. I'm trying to complete 10,000 steps in a day and some days it’s really easy where as other days it can be hard to motivate myself. In order to give my liver a bit of a detox I've been taking part in the dry January too. I only really have a drink on a Saturday night but I do binge drink and over Christmas I definitely drank more than just a Saturday night so. Definitely time for a change! I’ve just completed my second weekend without a drink and can already feel the difference. I’ve been so much more productive and was up, awake and ready for the day at 8am Sunday morning to take my daughter swimming. I really enjoyed this time together which leads me onto my last thing - coming of anti-depressants. I have been on and off them for 10 years. A whole decade! Coming off them hasn’t been a quick and un rational decision, I have spoken endlessly about my reasons why and have spent the past 4months weaning myself slowly off them but as I walked my daughter to school as I mentioned before, something popped into my head. Am I setting myself up for a fall? Then on the way back home I answered myself, I quite possibly am. However this is the year I am going to take control and if I fail and fall I shall get back up and try again because this is life and this is my crazy life….
