People doing well should be encouraged and appreciated at the moment. There is more than enough bad news in the media pretty much all the time. Some people like bad news and thrive on negativity. With the spending review of the government coming out tomorrow, there will be a lot of edgy people out there.
So it may not be fashionable at the moment, but lets try and concentrate on the good things going on and whatever bad things come, let’s promise to work our way through them as best we can.
Jean for instance, is on a roll to say the least and seems to be gathering fresh new momentum every day. This is a perfect situation for jean, as when you have momentum, you will always feel fitter, lighter and more eager to take on more and more challenges, which will automatically bring further gains.
As we discuss regularly, its not a matter of doing more and more training in terms of minutes and hours, its about keeping the quality of your training very high and making sure your body gets used to very good performances, results in being in great physical condition.
The only thing that can stop almost constant progress is negativity. If we listen to people who are always negative, then we become negative and the emphasis then is never to even attempt anything positive, because the risks are then too “negative”, there is too much of “what if it goes wrong, or what if it doesn’t work” type of talk.
If we associate with more positive people, attempting meaningful things in life becomes the norm and second nature. Its this type of atmosphere and environment we really need and can thrive in. The talk then becomes of whats really possible in life and the rewards of attempting big things in your life.
How many times do we talk about on here about positive things? Every single day is the answer because this is the only way to go, the only option available and the only way to end up truly fulfilled and happy.
You have many different choices over the week, the month and year and those moments when you are faced with tougher decisions that directly affect your health are the critical ones. Staying and getting into shape is never as easy as A,B,C, but if you face all the difficult choices in a highly positive manner, the chances of your getting and staying there will be very high.
Will start posting more workout schedules from tomorrow so see what you think?
Hi Guys, went for a run this morning, 35mins, it was better than last time, and I walked 45mins this evening. I think losing half a stone has helped, not aching as much as b4, eating good. Cycling 2mo, when then weather gets bad I will be doing indoor workouts, looking forward to the next half stone, getting easier already in as much as my back and legs arnt so painful as they were a couple of weeks ago. I think staying positive is very important, but its like you say Keri, difficult when you are living with someone who’s cup is alway half empty, learning to ignore it tho. Going out Fri with girls, so will have to save some calories so that I can have a few drinks.
your mindset is all important and feel sorry for all those troops and mod workers-42000 who lost their jobs today.
Tomorrow is the big one, but its important to try and work your way thru it, even if you strongly disagree with the cuts which most people do i suppose. many people say that they have to have cuts, but they dont say that when it affects them.
I am in the private sector of course but hope it isnt as bad as they for the public sector tomorrow, hate to see anyone who loses their job, bad for everyone.
chin up and keep all positive jean, and your success proves what u can do!!!
I think we have to have cuts, BUT, why does Cameron have to do it in 5 years, 10 to 15 is more realistic. Not sooo hard for everyone. I dont think that we are goin to take this lying down, there will be problems in the new year, look at FRANCE, and they are only putting the retirement age up 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!
the french are a joke, we will have to work till at least 67 and we havent made any fuss! agreed, when these cuts affect them, its only THEN will they protest, so interesting times ahead after osbornes speech!
