WHAT IS THE BEST AND WORST PART OF TRAINING ????

Wello Everyone

Good morning, its Friday the 14th of Feb, are you feeling the Love...........???? :-)

 have to laugh ;)

I have had a few Facebook messages, asking me what is the best and worst part of training...... ummm how do I answer this, lets start with this example...... you have the most amazing dress to wear to the part of all parties, however you are just two inches too wide for it to fit perfectly, do you 1) try and take it to a tailors to have it altered 2) try a crash diet only for it to fail after the first hour of seeing a slice of fresh double chocolate cake 3) visit your plastic surgeon and pay the price that would kill even a millionaire???  That's what training is like, that old bloody cliché of no pain no gain still comes up.

However it does not need to be painful, remember LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICE....... you are what you think, you are what you eat and you are how you live your life.

I am sure you all know what its like after you have taken a long brisk walk on a cold fresh morning, on you return and opening your home door, that feeling hitting your face fresh pumping blood, that feeling of being alive, feeling good, well that's the first start.... feeling alive.

Lets get the worst part of training out of the way first.....I am not going to lie, well I could and say training is awesome, and its simply amazing as I scoff another piece of chocolate cake.... well the truth is, just like anything in life you get out what you put in, don't expect to look like Cindy Crawford whilst doing one sit up and having a protein shake...

TRAINING IS HARD HARD I COULD SWEAR BUT AS THE TEARS ROLL DOWN MY EYES AT TIMES, AND I SEE THE "YOU ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES LEFT" THOSE 5 MINUTES LITERALLY FEEL LIKE 18 HOURS..... but just as you think and feel you cant any more, that is the precise point when you are at your strongest..... believe it people, the its the strongest point, for the simple ability to feel pain, means you can go another 10 more minutes and if you can do another 10 minutes you can do 12 and so on.  However when you are tired and you don't have an Olympic Team Manager behind you and or a full support system, the motivation to go that bit extra is then all down to self.  Self reliance is a must, however for me the,

WORST OF THE WORST  part of training:

1) GETTING UP AT 04:15AM IN THE DARK & COLD & OR JUST SIMPLY GETTING UP
 
(Find a strategy that works for you, I use Music as a motivation, my iPhone's alarm is set to P!nk's #Try)

2) ULTIMATE WORST:   ICE BATHS F%&*.......

(Again Find a strategy that works for you, I use 'being a mother', as a good start, that short sharp breath / blow strategy when going into child birth - use that strategy)

How true is this ......

BEST OF THE BEST part of training:

1) HAVING THE ABILITY TO GET UP AT 04:15AM KNOWING I HAVE LEGS TO WALK, A BODY THAT WORKS AND GRATITUDE FOR EVERYTHIG IN MY LIFE
 
(My son Bastian and Music spur me on)

2) ULTIMATE BEST:   THE FEELING WHEN YOUR SKIN RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER AN ICE ICE BATH & KNOWING YOU HAVE MADE IT & ARE EVEN FITTER THAN YOU WERE 2 HOURS AGO.

(How do I celebrate that: A simple strategy - "The universe/world does not owe me anything, rather I owe it gratitude for giving me the ability to be alive and to live and love - JHW"

Those sum up my BEST and WORST parts of training, remember in life its all about choice, #CHOICE, if you open up to choice, and accept that your life is in your own hands, no matter how difficult it is, you have the choice to sink down into a black hole or to get up and go for it; I always choice the latter.

Right that's me for the time being, next blog post will be a write up on Clothing.
