Well this is it, Im advancing into the world of Bloggers, a new and scary place filled with....well what is it filled with, people's random thoughts, or do people actually sit around and plan what they are going to say each day? I don't know, but lets suffice it to say that I intend to try and blog (nope that still sounds so wrong to me)...I intend to contribute to my page each day or as often as I can actually be bothered/can get to it. Now before you all get excited I have to admit Im not much of a fan of the 'have to do' anything so I can't promise that everyday will be every day. Ok randomly getting off track so will try to post each day, for now Im probably going to be focusing a lot on my "new me" plan, so I guess I should tell you who the devil I am....
My real name is Kelly, but I'll also sometimes be using my Magickal name "Lady Rohanna Ravenswing" in this blog. I can already see some of your eyes rolling at the term "Magickal" but hang in there you might actually enjoy learning about Paganism. Yep that's right I said Paganism, I'm a Pagan High Priestess. Ill sign off with Lady Rohanna Ravenswing When I am discussing Paganism and as Kelly or just Ro when Im talking about my more private life. I decided to start a blog as I have been through some major changes in my life recently and I wanted to document the next step.
You see Last year I was diagnosed with cervical CIN#3 cancer (sorry guys probably a little bit on the TMI scale) which I have had an operation for and am still under treatment for. After that my husband was hospitalised with a burst cyst in his throat which could have killed him or paralized him and he had to be flown by flying dr - 200km to the bigger hospital where he was for a week. Then I was diagnosed this year with a Pheochromocytoma, a Pheo is a tumour of the adrenal gland and is often life threatening if not lethal. It took approx 3 years for it to be diagnosed from the beginning of symptoms. I required medication for 2 months and risky surgery in order to have an adrenaectomy to remove the tumour. I recieved my first clearance yesterday!
However before all this hit my husband and I were both fit and slim and although we have both put on some weight from a lot of time spent "resting and recovering", the Pheo had caused me to gain weight and instead of a size 8-10 weight of 55-60kg I was a size 14 and weighing 77 kg. I also have other aspects of my life that I am so not happy with and in order to make a start - as of Monday 19th July I am taking the first step on transforming the old person into a new person.
So I thought, they tell you in all the weight loss groups etc that you should make yourself accountable....so thats what the blog is in aid of...by recording my food intake, my exercise/kilojouile output, my thoughts plus progress in other parts of my life I am making myself accountable to you, the blog readers....there are some people out there arent there? .........ah but thats the glory of a blog you can choose to remain blissfully unaware of the fact that no one is reading your blog ...in fact no one cares less....lol....... But Im going to pretend that you dear reader are there and so ....guess what? You get the chance to come along for the ride!
