Transformations

The most exciting thing about the end of a year, for me anyways, is all the potential a new year holds. You never know where life is going to take you, and that is both exhilarating and terrifying. I mean, take a look at me last Christmas.

That girl has no idea how much she's about to change! 2010 hasn't been the most fantabulous year of my life, but as it draws to a close I find myself looking at all the positives this year has had. There's been a lot of healing and building up strength, emotionally, mentally and physically. I've got a cute little apartment with a great flatmate in an awesome part of the city. I've discovered how truly incredible my friends here are. And I'm becoming more and more secure in myself.

But aside from that, this year I've also undergone a pretty amazing physical transformation. Since I started keeping track in March, I've lost 13kg. It hasn't been through any sort of gimmick diet or any of that bullshit. It's all been from regular exercise and eating sensibly. I've discovered a love of physical activity that I never would have imagined I had. Whatever the struggles and set backs of 2010, the transformation I've undergone this year shows that I won.

I still have a ways to go. I am currently 14kg away from my goal weight, which is no small feat. This time last year it wouldn't have even seemed possible, but now I know this is a goal that is well within my ability to reach. Whatever 2011 has in store for me - and I know it's going to be a tough year - I am going to kick some ass!
