Our university results were posted yesterday. It seems as though I am no longer a student but in that weird limbo-stage of between finishing university, but not having our official graduation ceremony. I earned an Upper Second (2:1) which I am extremely pleased with, as did quite a few other members of my class, so smiles all round! If any of my peers happen to read this, thank you for your contribution to my university experience, I've learned a lot.
I'm slightly disappointed in myself for taking a break with the blog and my healthy lifestyle but right now, I feel as though I am in a good place. I had a gym induction today, followed by a self-motivated workout, which I actually enjoyed and I've been quite successful this week in regards to eating well and keeping hydrated (my weakness!), with lots of fruit!
As I prepared and tucked into my (portion-controlled, very satisfying and not breaded!) chicken and chips, I reflected on my achievements; "I did brilliantly at the gym - I didn't die." "I did it. I perfected the oven chip. Not soggy, so crispy. Why are curly fries sooo good?" "I finished uni, woohoo!" - It's strange to think that this really is the start of the rest of my life. Other important thoughts from today included; "Skinny isn't sexy, healthy is sexy.", "My tattoo looks great!" (*ahem*) and load of other borderline-cringey things like "strive for progress not perfection" and other motivational things that I found on Pinterest.
I've come to realise that if I want to be truly successful, if I want to be the woman that I want to be then this is the right way to go. How else can I tick off my bucket list? See the world? Live a long and fulfilled life, chasing around my future grandchildren? Healthy is the way to be, and I will get there.
