I may have been a bit hasty in instantly setting up a b log upon reaching the following conclusion, but having extolled the virtues of blogging to someone already today it seemed a natural thing to do.
I am not as fit as I think I am. This really hit home tonight.
I never assumed I was a super athlete but I always assumed I had better conditioning than the average guy on the street and now I’m not so sure this is the case.
I lost a fair amount of weight last year but 2008 has not progressed in the way I had hoped. I remember saying at the end of December that this would be the year I really step things up but things have gone completely the other way. I’ve started smoking considerably more than I used to (and when reflecting previously I thought I should cut down) and my diet has deteriorated.
I won’t go into the specifics just not but this blog has been set up as a motivator to myself. I have come back from kickboxing tonight feeling slightly fitter, albeit with a turned ankle and a sense if self-dissatisfaction. Around this time next month I’ll be heading to Glastonbury and I imagine by body will take a bit of a pasting over that weekend. So the initial aim is to get into the sort of shape where even after three days of narcotics I won’t be in too much worse shape than as I sit here know.
Action plan tomorrow. I need to ice my ankle.
