Guy fawkes night comes with a weather warning this year with many fireworks shows already called off. Everyone imagines these to be some kind of “cosy” night out, everyone hugging each other with sheepskin coats on and eating hot dogs. I can’t quite remember any of that going on myself in my past and perhaps it only exists in those corny american family films, are they corny or sickly? Whichever word is appropriate i think!!!

Anyway, how’s your week gone? Have you showed up this week for your workouts and done well? If you have, you should be proud of yourself that you are battling through the dark, wet nights and are literally changing your body for the better.

The economic climate dictates that there are less christmas parties going on this year, and in past years, some of you would have given december up completely when it comes to your health and fitness. You would have said “that’s enough for this year” and you were going to give it a good go in january!!!

Then you would feel absolutely dreadful in january and decide there and then that you wouldn’t let the same thing happen next year!!

Well here we are again, and the decision is again, are you going to have a good 7 weeks up to christmas or are you going to throw the towel in as soon as you see those sickening marks and spencer adverts for christmas, usually by Take That and Twiggy (i know some of you love take that so sorry but i find them sickening!!).

So by my reckoning and the lack of christmas parties around, you have less distraction this year and you should be really motivated to power into  december like you’ve never done before! Don’t forget one of the posts i made this week, for every week off you have, it takes 1-2 weeks to get back where you were so i can’t emphasise enough it really is to keep to your commitments most of you will have made at the beginning of 2010!!! January seems a long way off doesn’t it?

After all, wasn’t this the year you were REALLY going to keep it up all year long?!!! To those of you who have, you have my greatest respect and well done to you. Feeling good should feel pretty natural to you right now!!

Have a great weekend and get fired up to get outside the weekend, it can liberating to do workouts in the rain and you will feel great after you’ve had your bath or shower. Guy fawkes night and the last interruption before christmas, lets get on a mission and start upping your workouts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
