Hi All,
Sorry for the lack of updates and interaction on my behalf. So here is my update following the last 1 month.
So 4 weeks ago I went on my annual race trip with the lads. And let's just say all Clean rules went out the window. Beers, takeaways, meals, no exercise were the order of the day... and at the time I enjoyed it TBH...
Then the following week (3 weeks ago) I felt like crap... and got it very difficult to get back into the swing of the good habits I formed and the old bad habits kicked in again.
2 weeks ago I was turning 50. I had a huge 50th (i like to celebrate these things) with 100 guests and it was brilliant... but it lasted a few days... and again the bad habits took over.
10 days ago, I had just had enough... I started again. A reset. And now I feel sooo much better. Signed up to a Local Personal Trainer. Back on the good habits... and how I know it feels different this time is... I went out for a night with the lads on Saturday but took it easy. Still enjoyed my night. Had used Marks Banking system so planned it right.... and then the following morning went to Gym and did a very difficult 1 hour kettle bell class and felt great afterwards.
So guys to close.... For me the principles and habits that has given us in this group are invaluable. Mark has always said its Progress over Perfection. And to use a Rocky Quote... its not about how many times u get hit, its about getting back up again and keep going (something like that) I plan to do dry November and first week of December but even after that, I never want thosebad habits to come back, but remember that if they do, we know how to reset.
