I am taking part in RED January to ...

I’m taking part in RED January 2024, and have set myself a daily movement challenge during one of the toughest months of the year. 

My fitness efforts combined with your support could back movement and mental health projects around the country, so everyone can enjoy the benefits that movement brings. 

Together, we can go the extra mile for others! 

After doing too much working, fostering, personally etc etc for a number of reasons... 

I've experienced burnout... had/have hard challenges with physical and mental health. 

Never underestimate how massively interconnected out body, mind, heart and soul are!

Movement has helped me at my toughest points when I didn't want to... didn't think I could or should... its a fine balance and everyone's story and journey is different. 

I'm thankful for my friend Abi and sister Emily who have helped encourage/support and made Movement at the gym possible. 

Without them I wouldn't have managed it... p.s. I should mentioned I've only done this in the past month. 

Excited on this journey of discovery and increased health and strength... 

As we all know deep down.....

Health is your real wealth right. 

For me family is so massively important to me and at the heart of the reason I do everything... its all for the kids.

We must look after ourselves first too... so we are able to give.

Me and my son have chatted at lengths at this and often say....

Selfish care that's not selfish! 

Repeated that as I spent time at the gym day before yesterday. Forget the never ending to do lists... 

Go enjoy some moments of Movement.....

Pre gym.... walking has Massively helped too.... and bike riding... you see things you don't have time to take in or see when you're driving or busy rushing around. 

Finding joy on the journey. 

I'm excited for this challenge and that it will keep me accountable. I get support and can potentially help others too. You're not alone...
