Since I last blogged, I've been working so hard on my 'New Year's Resolution' - that is, to NEVER diet again and it seems to be working well! I'm about the same size...I think, but I'm much happier, less controlling and generally much more at peace with myself.
Through dumping my forty-year-old diet mentality, I've learned such a lot about myself. It's such a relief not to worry about what I eat and I've stopped being concerned about how others judge me on my weight. I mean, who cares really? If that's truly what some people do, then let it be their preoccupation, not mine.
I'm happily busy enjoying life and practising my 'free' ice skating routine for my entry into 'The British Adult Championships', which will be held this June, at Sheffield. I'm entering as 'pre-bronze' level, in the 50 plus section.
Here is my video....but I must stress that the wonderful first skater is my coach and her interpretation of my programme at my level, not hers. She is such a brilliant skater and would be leaping and jumping all over the place but sadly, for my benefit, her wings were a bit clipped. The second skater is me, wearing half of my costume. The song is 'In the Mood', by Glen Miller.
I watched the film, 'The Glen Miller Story', at Christmas and this costume is a replica of what some of the characters were wearing in the movie, so thanks very much E-Bay.
It was such a great idea to film both of us, as I will be able to compare both routines and hopefully improve my timing and posture. I've still got such a lot or work to do but I really can't wait. I hope you enjoy my little skate :-)
