It's been about 6 months or so since my last visit to my blog and I have decided to kick start it back up again.
This morning I woke up and decided enough was enough (I know it's not the first time you've heard me say this) however enough is enough for now...........
After suffering with a few illnesses over the last few weeks/couple of months and also after being diagnosed with Diabetes (just on the borders of being a Diabetic but still enough to shock me), I decided that it's time for me to take control of my own life, afterall if I don't, who can right?
After my last batch of illnesses, what with anxiety, stress and ear ache, I got up this morning thinking that I need to really do something about addressing these issues, not only mentally and spiritually, which I am on the right path way for but need to step it up but also physically in terms of watching what I eat, how much I eat and also starting some sort of fitness programme.
So, after waking up at 6am, brushing my teeth and calling in for my morning skype meditation session, I got the impulse to go swimming (it's been about a month since I last went swimming). I packed all my clothes etc and made my packed lunch and went to head out of the door and couldn't find my goggles. I searched high and low but nothing. I couldn't go swimming without my goggles because I was having issues with my eyes so couldn't risk going 'eye naked' however this did not deter me.
I took off my swimming suite, put on my tracksuit, grabbed a bottle of water and headed out of the door for a walk at 7am. I walked around the neighbourhood for 30 minutes, got back home at 7.30am and did some floor exercises for a further 15 minutes including some stretches before heading for the shower. IT FELT SO GOOD. Not simply the fact that I did some exercise, but simply that I didn't give in at the first hurdle.
Breakfast consisted of a whey protein shake mixed with water, soya milk and a banana which was yummy (pictures will come tonight when I get home).
Lunch was lentil rice and salad.
So for now this is DAY 1 and I will keep you posted on my progress both in terms of food, health, fitness and wonderful new recipes so keep tuned in.
