The great news is that whatever shape you have been in before,you can get back to your best levels once again. All that hard work in the past won’t go amiss, and if you apply yourself, using tried and tested techniques, you’re going to get there again and this time you won’t feel like leaving it go. You will be better mentally prepared, and you’re going to expect roadblocks along the way too, i can assure you there will be. You will get around them and through them if you stay consistent and 80% of the time, are in good form and you have a very good structure in your training, eating and sleeping, that’s all it takes.
Expect negative comments and use them to fuel your anger when it comes to having great workouts and proving everyone wrong. Learning to use negatives as a positive force can be very valuable, instead of letting them crush you in the past. If someone has a go at me now, it only adds to my motivation and i usually thank those for doing it. It’s a great state of mind to be in and you can get there too, very soon if you adopt some simple principles.
Just had my last workout before christmas and feel great, have a great christmas!

Hi All, I have done 1hour 10mins on my bike, Oh My God! could’nt breathe, not blaming my asthma, blaming my lung capacity, or rather the lack of it. Still was better coming back and the wind was against me too. Will be better 2mo now, will get better all the time, cant believe how unfit I am, even more determined now. Could’nt wait until Sunday so have started. Been over to c my granddaughter, though I’d walked into ToysRus, no room to stand, still she was beaming and had to show me how everything worked, and I was permitted to take a video of her, she is such a Diva. Cant imagine who would have a go at you Ke, but that is the attitude I am goin to employ from now on. MUSCLE MEMORY! Thats what mine are now. Andrew goin to c the match in the Ship 2mo, he has text you last week, he had no reply, asked me if you have changed your number. Enjoy the rest of xmas all. will post 2mo. Jean
well done Jeany.You lucky git dont think i’ll be on the track for a while this bloody rain keeps turning in to ice under foot!!!!!!!!!!!! cant belive how easy it was to ride on the snow than ice!!!!!! well done again.xxxx
Hi Cyril, well was goin to go this morning, but my husband came back from the beach with the dog and said it was freezing and icy. So I went at 1.45 to 3pm, it had defrosted by then, surprised at how many people were out walking their dogs Will either walk or cycle depending on the roads 2mo. Rugby on in the afternoon, so will b in the morning early as I have to go up to the Diplomat hotel to c my mum, she is staying there. Hope ur day has gone well, will post to mo. Thanx Cyril, I was chuffed I did it. Jean x
Hi guys, walked the dog for 50mins, decided that it was so nice, not a breath of wind, so took my bike back down the country park for 40mins. Just had my breakfast and am goin to meet my mum now. Have a good day, enjoy the match. Post 2mo. Jean
ice must be a good 4/5″s on the bloody track.dont think i’ll be up there any time soon 🙁 so will have to go on the road where its safer or just keep doing the TG…..
excellent efforts jean, just make sure you take it easy, and most of the ice has now gone thank god, the black ice hung around much longer than expected. You will soon feel much better!

Better being careful with the ice than having an accident, been for a good run today at 7am and everything now fine out there in burry port, can’t speak for where you are?
thing is Ker the track runs through and alongside a Forrest and people are moaning they cant get to the top walking cos of the ice.Its been cold up there when it is sunny 🙂 dont think its going to thaw for a good while and we have more snow towards the end of the week.Been on the road but its not the same as the track!!!!!! wouldn’t be so bad if the sun got at it but we aint haveing much of the dam thing up here.Arrrrrrr 🙂 so will just have to keep ploding on with the old TG for now…..:-)
very frustrating for you cyril, this icey period over xmas has been a nightmare for everyone, glad you’re still working inside though!
very frustrating to right dude.Cant belive it was safer on the snow than ice.But there again as you say i’m lucky that i have the TG so i can do something.But when Mia was ill those few days (well nearly a week) and you said be carefull cos it will be hard at 1st and it was.I’ve been away from the track for a good while now and teh road aint the same.Well not with my bike it aint lol,lol,lol.
Hi Cyril, dont know if it is just me, but I prefer the roads, only just getting used to the track. But will do both, just walked today, u will think that I am thick, but been wondering why my chest is so tight and burning, could fry an egg on it, well been cycling and walking and taking my pumps and guess what, both my pumps were empty, dont know how long I have been taking empty pumps, so breathing not too clever. Taking new ones now, had them in the cupbard I am a daft mare. what is a TG?
done eaxctly the same with the pumps Jean 🙂 TG is my total gym sling the word total gym up on tube and they show vids of what you can do on it.Best thing and most i’ve had out of any fittness fady things 🙂 but i use the lowest level on it but do loads of reps.Dont want the big muscle look long but lean i’m after,lol,lol,lol.
could do with something in the house as the weather set to get alot colder this week, only thing I have is a Reebok Stepper and dont think I can do that yet. Pleased I am not the only daft mare, where my pumps are concerned. Am sure you will achieve the long and lean look Cyril, what do u think about all of us meeting up in 12 weeks if pos, will give us a bit of incentive to do well. May not be pos, dont know where we all are. My son has just rang asking if we want the baby for the night, think they afre after a LIE IN in the morning. He know’s I wont say no. Must go and get her now, we still have xmas presents she hasnt seen yet, under the tree. Post 2mo. Jean
try and bring the reps down to 8-10 and increase the intensity, this will give you serious benefits cyril trust me, it might amaze you how much and you won’t bulk up!
no TG today 1st tidy ride to the end of the track and back nice 5 miler.Now the bad bit BLOODY FROZE!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st it rained then hail’d and to finish it off cold wind with some of the bloody biggest flakes of snow i’d seen in yrs 🙂 my feet/hands are still iching and i’ve showered and been in the warm for about an hr now!!!!!! 🙂 i was like a snow man on a bike coming down the bliming road lol,lol,lol,lol.
5 miler great! all your efforts are appreciated, nothing is a waste of time and dont let anyone tell you otherwise, when have you done this well in the week before new year in the past?!!!! No snow all day so far but hope i dont speak too soon!
Well done Cyril, you must have been freezing, but bet you felt great after you did it tho and the bath or shower after is brill. I did a bit of a workout indoors 2day, I did one this morning but cant really count that, I misunderstood Keri, Doh. Anyway the one this afternoon was better, did sweat a bit. If weather bad 2mo I will do the same again and I may try my stepper, get it out from under the bed. Pleased with my eating today considering, well done for today, and keep it up. Jean
