This girl can

Who is still keeping up with their ambitious New Years resolutions? We have just past the half way point of the toughest month and I expect many of you have already forgotten you even made those promises to your self. I wonder how many people wrote off the 'party month' of December and justified it with "it's ok I'll be good in January"? My hand is up, I'm guilty. Actually doubly guilty, I have a confession on top of that. I extended my overindulgence through to the second week of the new year, I was still abroad on holiday so what was I supposed to do.

Coming back to the cold with no surplus in my bank account and a little too much surplus around my waste it was time to sort things out. I've set some realistic goals and dug out a thick wooly jumper, my life is on the up. I'm also delighted to say that we have apparently put the most depressing day of the year behind us (it was officially two Mondays ago).

The government have given the country a couple of weeks to get over the shock of returning to work and are now doing their best to encourage us to get active. The extensive campaign for "this girl can" is doing its upmost to encourage all women to go and do some sport. Admittedly it's helped motivate me and I'm pretty sure it's already helped thousands of others who just needed that extra nudge of encouragement.
