SOLD! Settled. So long 3977.

This build.  This house.  It was really something.

And now it's someone else's to love.  They have the keys.  We've moved.  Out, but not quite moved on.

This house.  It changed us.  It brought us so much more that we'd hoped.

Seems fitting to close off this blog with one final post.

This house.  I'll let you go now.  It's time for the next chapter.

Destination: next

We love LOVE this house.  It's been life changing in so many unexpected ways.

We lost weight living here.

We got married living here.

We started to run living here.

We found our community living here.

And now it's time for another change.

After almost 5 awesome years in this beautiful home, it's time for us to downsize our home and garden so we can continue to upsize our lives.

We're going to miss this place.  A lot.

The new owners will be getting a magnificently built home loaded with upgrades that we lovingly selected.  

We'll be on the market in the coming months as we prepare to build Destination: next.

Back yard paradise

Our amazing landscaper, Andy, came back today to finish off the last few things (including lights - I can't wait until it gets dark to see it all lit up).  So here's some better images (sorry Mum) of his masterpiece;

Committment

Those who play along at home will remember that I had back surgery on November 3 - almost 3 months ago - and in that time things have changed A LOT in the orange house.

In these last 12 weeks, Loz and I have between us lost a total of 28kg and have gone from complete couch potatoes to a minimum of an hour exercise each day.  We also used to eat complete garbage, with 3 (and I'm embarrassed to say sometimes more) take-away dinners each week. AND we used to buy our lunch every work day - sometimes brekky too.

We feel SO amazingly healthy and full of energy now, and while Loz has reached his goal weight, I still have another 8, maybe 10 kilo to leave behind.

So...(and this is pretty confronting for me to post here on my house blog) ...I have signed up & committed to Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation program, or 12WBT.

I am 100% committed to reaching my goals, but they don't just involve weight loss.  For me (us) this will reinforce the good habits we now have, and make sure we keep them for life.
I know this program will take hard work, but I am DETERMINED to see it through & give my back the best chance of a full recovery - by carrying around less of me!


If you want to follow my 12 week journey, you can find me over here.  We're currently in pre-season mode, with kick off in two weeks.  There's still time to join in you want to do something for yourself that could well turn out to be amazing.

Take care,
Reinsey, Raelene, RDub, whatever I'm called these days :)
