This fat chick's gotta get fit!!

18.

 My loves, I have something to share with you...

 First of all I'm listening to You Me At Six - Room To Breathe and I can't believe how different they look and kinda sound! I like it though. Weird how I loved this band back in the day and it's been years since I've heard their stuff, thanks Kerrang for playing them on the radio a bunch of times today :) I'm also listening to a bit of We Are The Ocean, now I've never listened to these before and I kinda like the sound of them, not overly fussed though to be fair. 

 Right then, as you can see by the title of this blog, I've got to get fit!! After talking to my work colleague/friend Audrey (hi Audrey if you're reading this) on Monday and Tuesday I have decided to enter the Run For All 10K in Hull on the 14th June 2015...I know what you are thinking, I won't do it but please, please believe in me, please support me. I've told 4 people so far and the reactions weren't fantastic, in fact the words I have received have been "you need to get training and dieting now then". I am fully aware that I have never ran before, I'm fully aware that I don't particularly like walking, basically I know I'm lazy BUT this doesn't mean that I won't do it, whether I run it, walk it or even crawl my way through it I will be doing this.

 I have 8 months to get ready for this. I want to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease and seen as no one agrees with my head shaving idea this seems like a prime opportunity to do something positive for MND. And I'm also wanting to do this for my own health, June 14th gives me a goal to lose some weight so that I don't carry on disliking what I see in the mirror and continue this path of convincing myself I can't participate in stuff because of how I look, because I worry so much about how other people see me. 

 I will be receiving MND sponsorship forms for people to sponsor me on if any of you kind folk would like too. I've never been sponsored for something before so I don't really know when I start writing peoples names and amounts down, I'm guessing nearer the time? 

 So loves what do you think? I don't want to let you down, I don't want to let my Dad down and I don't want to let myself down so I'm doing it and I hope I have all of your support and encouragement. By the way if 10K seems like nothing to you then that's fine but like I said I'm pretty darn lazy so it's a big deal to me. 


Please join me, we can get a little team together to kick MND right in the goonies!! 

Much love
Beth xx

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
