365 Days of Fitness

365 Days of Fitness

So this year I am going to do a post for every day of my fitness journey. The past few years my understanding of fitness and life has grown. This year I am giving myself a different goal to motivate myself to keep pushing on! I have always set motivational and fitness targets but nothing public. I want people to see me this year and go “If she can so can I!”. Don’t get me wrong I know I am no fitness goddess but I am going to show you this year the power and determination I have to make me the best version of myself.

Today is day number one, 1st of January 2017. The last place a lot of people want to be after New Year's Eve is in the gym but not me! Best way to start the year is how you wish to go on. Today i woke up to my nieces jumping on the bed wanting breakfast. Before even turning over I started coughing my lungs up. For the past few days I have had a horrendous cough. I have kept working and teaching classes, generally feeling well until I get that dreadful tickle in my throat… Today I was all dressed and ready to hit the gym before my family stopped and asked what I was doing. As much as I wanted to start the new year as I wished to go on I had forgotten one of the main reasons I hit the gym. To keep myself healthy! Not giving my body time to recover by working out was doing the exact opposite of this.

So here I am, at home on the sofa with hot lemon, writing fitness plans and trying to push passed this cough. I need to remember that as much as I want my 365 days of fitness to be a workout every day my body doesn’t work like that. It needs time to heal, grow and recover. Heres hoping I feel better tomorrow and I will be back in work on Tuesday powering it out!

Hope you are with me and making every day this year count!!
