How is the year shaping up for you so far? Have your predictions come true, or did you have to face a curve ball or two?

I had a lot of expectations about 2016 as I felt that the last couple of months of 2015 were quite arduous and difficult to get through and the new year gave me a lot of hope. So I was looking forward to 2016 with a very optimistic view and eagerly awaited the end of 2015. But things haven’t gone all that great for me, mainly health wise.

I had a wonderful new year’s eve and new year’s day but on the 3rd (a Sunday) I felt ill and to be honest I have not completely recovered from that. Seems like a long time ago now but it is still fresh in my mind. I also need to start losing some weight and haven’t gotten round to start doing that other than cutting down on some of my meals during the week and trying to walk a lot more than I used to.

I continued working way too many hours in January that luckily for me hasn’t translated over to February (except for this Monday) that I often felt totally trained both physically and mentally and that isn’t what I expected would happen as well. I feel like 2016 can shape up to be a good year but it hasn’t had the great beginning I was expecting. Only great thing has been the little holiday I got this month and otherwise things have mostly been the same.
