Rivers to Cross

This started out as a post, but, I’ve decided it needs page status…

My lifestyle is so much different to how it used to be. Exercise, food, state of mind, self belief and confidence, it’s all good in the hood!

I’ve had a few ‘adhoc’ mental goals that I’ve been focusing on, but, as the weeks go by, I’m realising that I need to be a bit more structured about it. I’ve given it some thought, I’m by no means totally clear, so I thought I’d share them with you to see what you think. Are you ready?

I have two categories, Personal and Health & Fitness, those with a line through I’ve achieved so far. Yes, I know some of them are funny and personal but hey, I’m being real and I’m being honest. I know that some of you reading this struggle with these things too. Here goes:
