The last three days have been a hive of activity and happenings - some good and some not so good. It's amazing what life manages to throw at us, when we think that we couldn't possibly handle any more, and how we find the strength and tenacity to just bear it and keep on going . . . I am SO stressed right now that it's not even remotely amusing anymore . . .
Briefly, re training, my body was so sore and exhausted after Friday, that I had Saturday and Sunday off training - making allowances for the fact that I worked a very strenuous job for seven hours constantly on the go Saturday night, and that Sunday was a huge day re physical labour; so getting a different kind of 'cardio' in at least. Unbelievable that only three days of training took so much out of me - and that I didn't grit my teeth and stubbornly force my battered body to do what my head wanted it to be doing re training.
This week is the LAST week that I can afford to take to get my body back on track and on a schedule. I need to be getting up again early - 4am, and going to bed before 10-11pm. Getting back into it is always the hardest, definitely, but once my body falls back into routine, then it should be ok.
I'm also going to be returning to full-time study soon, on top of my several part-time jobs and preparation for competition, so I HAVE to be all set, disciplined and structured, managing my time to perfection!
It's time to give life a good kick in the balls and show it that I can handle whatever it throws at me, that I WILL stand under onslaught, and if it wants to test me, I WILL come out victorious, no matter what!
