How to fall flat on your face...more than once!

  And yes, of course, I mean that both metaphorically and physically.


Metaphorically

Some times I find it easier to be me than at other times.  This past month or so, I've not being doing a very good job (deliberately being ambiguous about just how long...definitely no need to be specific).  I've no sense of routine or achievement at the moment and I've fallen off a few bandwagons.

For one, I appear to have re-found my love of marshmallows - but to be fair on myself, there is no Marshmallows Anonymous to give the me the support I need when I hit a weak patch.  I have managed to go 3 days without buying or eating any (who am I trying to kid, I don't think I've ever bought a pack and not eaten them, so there really was no need to list 'buying' and 'eating' separately as they are one and the same in this instance.

I've also not been as strict with my food as I should be - but am now paying the price.  Thankfully I hit a 'whatthehellamIdoing' moment this evening, so shall start afresh tomorrow.
And for numerous reasons my routine of going to the gym has been patchy.  This week I was booked into a heap of classes, but unfortunately I woke up last Saturday with a stinking cold and I haven't managed to shift it at all this week.  This has meant that I haven't gone to the gym this past week and I feel poop because of it.

Work - I need to be very disciplined to get on with my job as I work from home.  I think I've managed to clock about 9.5hrs this week and that in itself speaks volumes (guess who's going to be putting in hours over the weekend!?).


Physically


Before my cold arrived, I managed to go to the gym a couple of times.  A week past Thursday I ran on the treadmill for a bit before joining my TRX class.  Admittedly, it's been a wee while since I've gone along to the TRX class...and I was rubbish...really, really rubbish.  Unfortunately, due to lack of upper body strength and a momentary lap of focus...I fell flat on my face.  However, I am quite a determined person (when I set my mind to it) so I got up (yes, of course I was yabbering on the whole time) and tried again...only to fall at the same hurdle and down I went!

So, are there any lessons to be noted from this chapter of my life?

Yes there are...and that is that some chapters need to be shorter than others...here's hoping this is one of them.  (And it could be beneficial to learn how to fall on ones face in a slightly quieter manner...especially when in a gym, surrounded by lots of people).
