Evolution

It took me a while to figure out what to say. I sat looking at a blank page trying to equate my last year since I've made a post on here.

Life changed. I evolved....I got strong I got weak I got fat I got fit and fat-ish again.

Around this time last year I was coming to the end of a three month stint of diet and training. This year I've actually started around this time. Although I've already started out injured since I joined the gym and then had a minor surgery which placed 12 stitches in my back and apparently my shoulder has decided to give up on me already so no upper body training for a few weeks. But I've been trying to eat a lot better even though I have access to all the pizza you'd ever want.

Instead, I've decided to get back to being a bit fitter and concentrating on just my legs. It's only taken me ten years but I can finally fully squat without my hips screaming for me to stop.

I start each session with getting my legs warmed up and stretched before I jump into either a heavy session, sprints or both. Oh dear good god does it hurt! It's like when I first started out at the gym and was on that constant chest and tris, back and bi's rota. Except 1000 times more painful. But for once my legs are actually staying fit since I've retired from competitive sports.

So I think I'm going to carry this trend on for a while as in my heart I desperately want to get back on the field. But I'll settle for a ripped version of myself to be honest. I've set a goal and my shoulder is definitely stopping me from reaching it at the moment but I'm hoping to have it fixed by the new year with any luck.

As for my posts, I shall try and keep it a bit more consistent as opposed to year long absences.
