2016. My personal review and wrap up -

This post is for purely selfish reasons.

To document and remember my year, so that I can process it and look back over the highlights. Pretty sure only myself and my Dad will read it (Mum’s got no idea about tech of any sort).

But if you are a sticky beak (like me), then feel free to check it out. 🙂

By the way, at the beginning of 2016 I chose a word for my year.

My word for 2016 was FUN.

I think I nailed it.

Back on track – One month online challenge

(including my own back on track journey)

I fell in love with fitness again, lost a couple of kgs and just basically found my groove again after feeling stuck for about 12 months or so.

I have some (embarrassing) before and after pics of myself, but I think I will include them in a full blog post to come about the How, What and Why of how I found my fitness and health mojo again.

Let me know if you would be interested to see that personal post?

Got a website make-over

You are reading it now !! The home page can be seen HERE.

I’m not gonna lie, I HATED it at first. I even stopped blogging for a while.

But I made some changes (still more to go) and its growing on me. I started blogging again recently

What sucked?

– aka What can I improve on next year?

Honestly, some stuff sucked. But its New Years Eve as I am typing this and I couldn’t be stuffed focussing on those things right now.

I might come back and include them later (maybe).

What’s planned for my 2017?

Healthy Happy Habits – online coaching program starting soon
First steps to (intermittent) Fasting – So PUMPED about this new online coaching program
Intro to fitness – Face to face sessions – I feel like there is a huge gap in the market right now. Most fitness classes seem so hard core and scary.
Bali holiday
House renovations
More blogging, more stories, more case studies
More FB live videos
Port Douglas holiday
More hiking / bush walks
More fun
Less Worrying about if its perfect enough

New coaching program coming soon – PUMPED about this one

A couple of last points..

Going back over the highlights of the year has given me such a boost. I might have only remembered some worries and troubles otherwise. I highly recommend you try it, even if its simply in pen and paper.
Thank goodness for Facebook. My memory is not what it used to be. Looking over my FB photos was a great way to recall the good times.
