Coming home to a message like this makes all the blood, sweat and tears more than worth it :) Ok, here goes, my reason to THANK YOU and give u another insight as to why u two should be so proud of what u do. 4 years ago, exactly 3 and a half weeks after giving birth to my beautiful son, who ironically was 3 and a half weeks early I was struck down with Gillian barre syndrome (gbs) A condition where your nervous system shuts down and ur muscles dont work so ur body shuts down in defence. I was in RUH on a ventilator for 3 weeks (have the scar on my neck to show for it) and then had to learn to walk, dress and hold cutlery again, all the things we take for granted. I couldnt hold my newborn son or cuddle my amazing 2year old daughter. It was the most horrific time of my life. However thanks to my babies I was determined to get better and 6 weeks later I was home after intense physio and shear determination as a mother! So, long story short my physio told me I need to work out to build my muscles back up. This never happened! I was just so pleased to be back with my babies and found looking after them and even waking 500 metres so exhausting there was no way I could exercise on top of this! So years have passed and motherhood has taken full effect that exercise never came to much. I have done Zumba and running but to be honest I can put in as much or as little effort as I like so the results never happened. Then I found you! Each session I have to put in so much effort there is no room for slacking, I sweat enough to fill an ocean and I have never had muscle ache like it! However since joining in October I can feel an amazing difference in myself. My body is stronger (now swinging 12kg!) my fatigue is a lot less and bizarrely I found myself to be a more positive person. My energy is better, I have more patience with my children and can sustain the day so much better. I just want to thank you for this change. I dont want praise or admiration thats not my reason for telling my story, I just want you 2 to know that behind the eyes of many you teach there is a story and a reason for training with you. My reason is you keep me wanting to push to be better as the change in myself means so much. So Kat and Paul I thank you and look forward (ish ;p) to many more sessions and getting stronger with affinity wellbeing! XXX
