April really is a crazy month for the weather!! I mean, we have had everything from sunshine to hailstones all in the first week! Anyway, I am still buzzing from my graduation celebrations last week. I finally completed my Masters in Human Nutrition!! Yep, all in the midst of working full time, suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum (excessive nausea, vomiting and dehydration during pregnancy), giving birth to TWINS and adjusting from being a mum of two, to a mum of four!! I can honestly say that towards the end, there were so many setbacks! My computer crashed, so I lot half of the research that I'd started to analyse prior to giving birth and then I was plagued with tendonitis in both wrists and thumbs which brought a halt to my typing. It really was a trying time and I had every opportunity to end things there and just settle for a postgraduate diploma instead of the full masters. But with a lot of grit, determination (and prayers!!), I managed to complete the course.
Lessons learnt
One of the biggest lessons I learnt, was that setbacks are a part of the journey. Whether it's studying, trying to lose weight, or training for a competition - it never is smooth sailing. I found that the determination to get back up again, was focusing on my dream, my vision, my goal. This is something that was echoed in our graduation message, as one of the speakers profoundly said - "don't give up on your dream". So hopefully my experience will inspire you to keep on going.
Now I finally have to get back to working on more fitness video content and more recipes!!! I am taking requests, so let me know what you want to see in the near future, as I have lots of exciting things to share very soon.
xoxo
