On motivation...

I believe there is a cold sneaking up on me. Well, haha nasty virus, I plan to choke you out before you get me in your death-hold headlock! Little do you know that I actually take care of my body, feed it appropriately, take vitamins and rest as much as I can. It may have taken years to learn this should-have-been-obvious lesson, but I've got it now!

The one thing about studying for this nutrition diploma is you learn a whole lot about how we mistreat our bodies. I can't believe the beating I put my own through. And yet, resilient it was and is and here I sit healthier than when I was in my 20s. May my 40s be better still. :)


Worked out yesterday. Trained Back and Biceps. I admit that I often have a hard time pushing myself that extra bit necessary for change. And even when I think I am lifting heavy and doing everything right, I don't feel like I've worked hard enough. Well, yesterday felt pretty good actually. I could only do one set of 21s in the end as my arms simply gave in. And I knew my back had been sufficiently worked when I decided to finally go home. Today, my stiffness tells me I did good.

This, this, I will need to motivate me for the next year: the knowledge that I can do this each day and I will see results. I WILL see results.

And for that extra smidgeon of motivation, new members and trainers at the gym... Recently we've had a much more serious training crew coming in, and a few at the competitive stage. I love it.

The universe is a-talking.
