It feels like ages since I wrote a post here, even though it’s only been a week. I’ve missed it. A week is too long to wait. I was meaning to write everyday to get into the habit, and hopefully improve along the way, though this week I haven’t written at all. It has been a disappointing week I’m afraid. I’ve been feeling a tad achy and weak, with a slight sick feeling in my bones (if that makes any sense at all?). Luckily it was a deload week at the gym so I was planning to go light anyway, but because I wasn’t feeling right and had a case of burnt out, I decided to take the week off – my first day off since starting the gym nearly 6 months ago.
So why hasn’t it gone well this week? Not feeling right, no gym, an utter mess of my space due to clothes and a ton of other bits and bobs I’ve been trying to sort out and sell, and a few slight lapses of my routine and it all goes to pot. Lessons learnt: Little things matter! Go to fucking bed on time – no matter what! Note to self: Whatever you want to do at night you can do in the morning. Without structure and routine, me and my plans are a mess. I’ve made a few tweaks to my routine to try and fix this, but weekends are the worst as I haven’t got the structure I get from having work in the evenings. A messy environment = a messy head – at least for me it is. The sooner I can sell all my unwanted belongings the better. I would just give it all to charity but unfortunately I need the damn money – I’m saving for some hospital scans (but that’s for another post).
Next week I plan on writing a mid-week post. I also need to focus more and concentrate on routine, times, organisation, and tidiness. As well as getting back to the gym as normal, putting in the work, and pushing through any plateaus of motivation.
