After last nights post I went to bed positive, happy, eager to start on my journey of what I'm considering as the first 6 months of the rest of my life. I am also happy to report that the very same positivity stayed with me today which is excellent, although I'm slightly fearful that the positivity and momentum that has brought me to the writing this second post will be short lived. However, I cannot think like that as if I have come to learn anything about myself over the last year or so, it is definitely that i thrive off of momentum, as soon as the momentum is gone, so too is my commitment to whatever it is that has just lost said momentum. But, I have also realised that this is because of my frame of mind. There are two states of mind that I have noticed cause me to loose momentum, the first being negativity and the second being letting myself take breaks way too easily, letting myself off the gym for one week, which becomes two, which becomes three, which becomes "I really need to start going to the gym more". So, it follows that in order to keep this going for the next 6 months, my frame of mind is key, no negativity, no breaks, only success and positivity, I simply have to enjoy the ride.
So what did I do today to advance on my goals? Today I went to the gym, planned the next 3 months of gruelling college work with my assessor and ate reasonably well. I had a few cigarettes, but I have now finished all of the 'fags' I had and shall be making every effort to vape instead. That should be very easy, it tastes nice, no foul feeling in the throat, no awful smell or taste, In fact it's hard to see why I haven't made the switch completely already! As for the Gym, I didn't do all of my lifts that I should do on a Monday, but I was short on time, worked hard at what I did do and hey, at least I made it there! It's all too easy to say "I don't feel like the gym tonight", but success is never easy, I highly doubt that Bill Gates ever said "I can't be asked with building Windows today, lets nap and watch Adventure Time instead", so it may be hard, but it's what needs to be done if I want to really lean down by the time I hit the beach in sunny sunny September! As for the eating, I made myself lunch, the same tuna baguette that I always have, and ate dinner at the local Weather Spoons whilst having a couple of drinks with my friends. 14oz Angus Rump with chips and peas, a touch over my calorie limit, but my thieving friends took some chips so I'm sure I'm somewhere around the mark! Today has definitely been a step in the right direction! But let's not get ahead of ourselves here tomorrow is a new day. Night random people reading my little blog, until tomorrow!
