ITS BEEN A YEAR!!
In that time I have managed to put back on 20 kilos, but hey I am still 20 kilos lighter than when I started so hey its got to be all good right??
I am entered in the auckland marathon now, just for the 12k traverse and I find myself incredibly unfit, it has been a real struggle to get back into it, to get myself motivated again, but I am doing my best.
I have started with small steps, my first goal is to walk virginia st without feeling like I am quite literally going to die, I have walked it 3 times this week, and it has not gotten easier yet, but I will persevere, if my calves hold up for long enough. The biggest struggle is finding time to exercise and being able to make a million excuses as to why I can’t, virginia st is 10 minutes out of my life and a damn good workout taking into account the ridiculous steepness of it!!! It is a minute from my house and my kids can do it with me, so it takes away any excuses, there simply are none.
Today I ventured down to the stadium and managed two kms walking with 800m of running and a few bar push ups which I thought was pretty bloody good, and I ran the stairs on the way out, I did have to sit for a minute or two after that though.
So I am back, I am once again committed and we shall see how far it takes me, this is battle that will never end but I figure as long as I don’t ever let it overtake me again, it will be all good!!
