One of the best ways to get going in the last week of july is to train with someone who gets you up to your best levels.
For example, tonight I had someone on holiday I train, so I ended up with someone with a similar fitness level on the weights, and it ended up my best session for a long, long time.
The amazing situation is not only have I had a great workout, I feel totally energised about the week ahead, and my ambitions already seem higher for my four days left in my working week.
You compare this to me simply going home and lazing in front of the television for an hour, the same feeling of energy wouldn’t have been achieved.
If I called in the petrol station for wine, crisps and chocolate, would I really have had an amazing start to the week or not? I think you know the answer to that!!
So following on from yesterday, have you managed to get fired up about your week or are you throwing in the towel?
Are you doom and gloom or are you bullish about your body and your abilities again?
Here’s a thought about things too. Have you noticed how easy it is to be negative about life, your workouts, the economy, the future everything?!!! Its EASY TO DO THAT!!
The people who deserve the greatest rewards are the ones who have hope, the people who tend to want to do things, the people who throw caution to the wind when most people won’t even try. These are the people who deserve to be in great shape, to have great success in their lives and to create a better, healthier life.
This is the time to do it, not tomorrow or next week, there really isn’t time because if you are indeed fired up from reading this, please ACT on it and don’t hang around because im convinced each and every one of you can turn your lives around.
Most people wonder what might have been, give it go right now, get active and you won’t end up like those who always talk a good game!
Let me know how you get on!

Well I have started a controlled eating plan and am doing a bit of the other, wasnt goin to post until I have had a successful week, which would be next monday, but Ke, I cycled yesterday, no big deal, did a bit of interval, and I have jogged 30mins today and I have just come back from the beach with Bud, 45 mins and my back and outer hips are really painful, dont think I should have jogged this am. My question is should I have a day off 2mo? or just do bike?
good work jean, i would bike tomorrow and your hip will hurt if you’re carrying a bit more weight than normal, as you have been away a few times on holidays lately. let me know how you get on
Hi there !!!
Sore hip eh Jean? Think I can beat you there.
Going really well, eating great food, walking and easing myself into workouts, then Sunday arrived!!
Went on the motorbike to Porthcawl for a coffee with the lads. Resisted a cake (they are always eating cake) and making my way back to my bike, I tripped over the front wheel of a Harley Davidson and crashed sideways to the floor, landing full weight on my left hip.
I was in agony!! I really thought I had seriously damaged myself. I’m also sure I heard someone yell “TIMBER” as I went !!
Managed to ride home but I couldn’t sit down without pillows under my hip. Funny thing is there is no bruising. Reckon the fat saved me from serious damage!!!!
Anyway, Jean, not done anything since but got the day off today, so I’m going to walk to the village P.O. to pay a bill and then get my bicycle out of moth balls!! It’s such a lovely day and perhaps I’m safer without an engine on 2 wheels !!!
No weight lost last week but today is a new day. How are you Cyril? Let us know.
Here goes then. (No jokes about tidal waves in Porthcawl last weekend, please.)
Have a good week. Debxx
