Hello!! I’m back :-)

I started writing my blog Living Life by Sharon Templeton back in July 2013 and really enjoyed sharing my ramblings and life’s experiences with you all!

However, I got side tracked along the way, with running my own business, spending time with my family, and social commitments. I'm sure some of you can relate to this! You know its funny, I talked about achieving balance between life and work only a few blogs ago, and then I got so caught up with everything that I lost my own balance!

Where does the time go?! Seriously, it’s just been Christmas and now Easter eggs are out. I really shouldn't sound so surprised; I swear I say that every year!!

Anyway, what I really wanted to share with you is that now the festive season is over, and if you're anything like me, you want to get back on track. I've made myself a promise that I will be posting a weekly blog, so if I don’t be sure to give me a little nudge! Leave a comment!

Did you start eating healthier and exercising last year? How good did you feel?

Sometimes life just catches you in its whirlwind and can make it very difficult to get to the gym. Or maybe, there are social functions you need to attend and before you know it, you’ve had a few wines or perhaps overeaten and now you're worried your diet is out the window! Hey, we've all been there. The best advice I can give you is don't beat yourself up.

If you have a blowout, start eating well again the next morning. I could say you should go to your social functions and drink soda water with a slice of fresh lemon, but hey lets face it, a nice cold glass of bubbles or a good red is a great way to treat yourself and get some release from our hectic lives! I'm not saying you have to drink to have a good time and neither way is wrong, but the reality is for some of us, its much nicer having a balance in life and still enjoying yourself at the same time.

I wonder what this week will entail.

  1. Thanks for sharing Sharon and love your words. I am working on making 2014 all about rekindling my social life after a hectic 2013 and finding a balance again. Not as easy as it sounds but will get there. Thanks for reminding us we are human for wanting this and it is okay to not take tupperware everywhere ! xx

  4. Great blog Sharon, I myself am trying to live a more balanced life. I joined the gym earlier this year, and while I'm yet to see any big changes, I certainly feel a lot better, and a whole lot less guilty about that extra glass of red after dinner ;) Balance is the key! xx

  8. It's so refreshing reading your blog Sharon. You are a grounded, real women with realistic goals and balance in life! For me I am unable to diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle for longer than a week and I feel guilty when I see all these healthy, fit women with amazing photos of themselves daily at the gym, but unfortunately I'm unable to do that with such limited time on my hands. I just love reading your blogs and realizing that I'm not the only one struggling with life balances! I look forward to your next blog.
