I was struggling. Actually until two months ago, I was. What changed? I got a fairly decent job; I woke up one day and said to myself- “I am a Single Mum! Deal with it!!”

Not as simple as that.. I realised that if I did not get in shape, I was reducing my chances of being around for my daughter. What a wake up call that was.

I now play badminton at least thrice a week. How do I do that? I spend double the money I used to on child care. I can ill afford it, but hey I really do have to do this. My bouts of self pity and loneliness were increasing. It has definitely taken a back seat since I started playing.

I don’t think I am ready to sign of on this goal as yet….
