Well 2013 is here
December 2012 went quickly for me mainly because 3 out of the four weeks I was off work and 2 of them weeks I was doing IV treatment in hospital and at home.
Anyway this is all finished and the fitness has progressed nicely. Although I admit I have not been to the gym for the past week (As its been the festive period) I am now getting back on the gym wagon starting tonight.
My chest feels good even if I do still feel a little phlegm on my chest (Which I will clear tonight i hope at the gym and doing exercise at home) and im ready to carry on shifting the nasty stuff by going to the gym and doing all my usual tablets and treatments etc etc.
My body feels nearly back to where it used to be if still a little lighter and unfitter than before but its the best its felt in years.
Now I need to recover the week ive had off in the gym by hitting it hard. At least 3 times a week and i do feel like that week missed at the gym was not a good idea as its made me feel guilty not going but I know I have the motivation to claw anything lost back and progress more.
So tonight the work continues on a improved physical me and a better trained me in time for tough mudder 2013.
I have not given up on doing it even if others have.
At least even if i have to crawl over the line I can say I done something ive never done before and im a fitter better person for it.
I had alot of time to think about things in hospital and my overall conclusion was that im not consistant with the things i must do to keep myself healthy and because of this im not exactly helping myself or my future.
So why am I lacking in consistency? Im just being lazy simple as that although sometimes things have tested me previously
So this year my resolution (Even though I dont really belive in them) is to be more consistant with myself when it comes to eatting, tablets, fitness, treatments and generally making sure I do not forget to do things and stop thinking "Oh I just cannot be bothered.
In life in general I find it boring to be consistant doing the same things day in day out but when it comes to my health I haave come to realise its the one area where being boring and being consistant it vitally important for my life
And plus I hate being nagged or pestered to see if im doing things or if ive done something so by being consistant these questions wont bug me no more because I will already have the answer for them
YES I HAVE
DONT WORRY ALREADY DONE
and my favourite soon to be answer
YEP ITS DONE
The key to my success is myself and these last few weeks of treatment and exercise have shown what I can become again and I like the old me that ive rediscovered and would like to see the old me return
After all sometimes bad things are boring.
Im finding it much easier to be a fitter me than i was a poorly me and I like that feeling
You could say its a drug and I want to be addicted to better, good, okay, more and more
Not "oh no not again, yeah I cant im ill"
I hate saying "no, i cant, or im not able to"
I Like to say YES
So 2013 for me is all about the yes I can, consistency is my friend not boredom and yes is the best word in the dictionary or I hope it is for me in the future.
So heres to the gym, fitness, fun, new me (but its just the old me but improved), keeping my goals in my sight and enjoying things a little more.
Ive missed alot in the last 12 months because ive been ill but the end of the year with a little motivation showed me an uphill trend.
Hills are hard to climb but I like a challenge and I will be better for it
Put it this way
Can you the person who is reading this blog do 45 minutes on a cross trainer sports programme?
I CAN
And how many people (Normal or with illness) Say that?
Soon I hope to be able to say
I can do an hour on the cross trainer, and swim xx lengths in the pool and run 3 miles (Thats my aim) without stopping like I used to be able to
Right now im not at my happiest but happiness doesnt come from doing nothing it comes from hard work.
Like they say work hard, play hard. That may sound corny but its true. No one becomes a better person by doing nothing.
Im not looking for muscle or anything impossible just something I know I can do time and time again and over the last few weeks you could say getting better in hospital and being able to do what I like at the gym I found my MOJO.
Whats your plans for the year?
Good luck to all who have goals and to those who dont make some, its better to try at something than do nothing at all
