Support Network

Whenever I read an athlete or a fitness personality speak about their top tips for success without doubt they always speak about having a support network in place.  Surrounding yourself with people who support your goals, motivate and encourage you.  But its easier said than done I reckon.

Not a day goes by that I don't seem to encounter a jellyfish.  Have you seen Bridget Jones?  You know Bridget's boss in the open few minutes who just stings her with comments and remarks, all disguised as polite enough but the subtext being cheeky as fuck, aka - a Jellyfish!

Well boy and girls, I've had it up to here *my hand is waving above my head* with Jellyfish.  What I choose to do with MY free time is my business and not up for discussion.  Whilst I do appreciate that writing a blog and posting my thoughts on t'internet does welcome comments both good and bad, I'm on the edge and ready to bite back.

How rude would it be for me to say to someone ...

"Jesus, you spend EVERY night in front of the tv sitting on your arse??  You could do with losing a bit of weight don't you think??"

But its perfectly acceptable to make the reverse comments??  Perplexing....  Isn't it a positive thing to have an active lifestyle and a healthy appetite, especially in this day and age of obesity, computer games and eating disorders??  I workout because I love it, it makes me feel good about myself and destresses me from a highly pressured job.  I can honestly say that around 70% of the partners and senior clients I work for all go to the gym or take part in a sport for the same reasons, it keeps you healthy both mentally and physically.

For now I just smile, but its working my last nerve and I fear Mildred may come out in force soon enough.

As usual my weekend was filled with awesome workouts - heavy legs on Friday with Matt, light chest, shoulders & triceps and a sprints session on Saturday with Trev Dog.  But also disastrous nutrition!  And after 4 drinks at a party on Saturday night, I don't recall getting home nor was in any fit state to move further from bed on Sunday pigging out on M&S food and watching tv.  Through my hungover haze I did manage to prepare my food for today so have ate well and did a heavy back & biceps session with Matt this evening.

Oh its a vicious cycle but I have to say regardless of what the scales are saying I feel good (minus the alkie blues) and think I'm looking pretty tight over all.  And how I feel is the most important part!

Love
