HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
It has been a crazy busy few months. I mean, my life in general is ridiculously crazy at the best of times but it feels as if now things are starting to settle back into their own routines.
That being said, a lot has happened in terms of my diet, lifestyle, training etc.
The most difficult part has been getting back into the grind. I realised this as I scoffed down two cupcakes today at work and then felt ridiculously sick.
Part of this craziness at the end of last year also meant that I got burnt out – seriously burnt out. I just needed to have a break from everything. I didn’t really get the opportunity to go away, but just being at home and focusing on stuff around the house was awesome.
We’ve been productive enough to have a lot of work done around the house which is giving us both an exciting vibe and helping plan things for the future. It gives you perspective, and something to look forward to and plan towards. I’ll add some images soon.
I’ve had three injuries in the last four months, so that has stifled my training and the fact that I had a heap of job interviews meant I was also totally focused on these processes and hoping I portrayed myself in the best possible light, every.single.time. It’s a difficult time – I’m waiting to find out if I was successful for one of these jobs that will hopefully, probably, likely, take me back to my roots and give me peace, finally. Once that is done, then I know that training will be easier, because I will be able to focus entirely on it again. I’m looking at getting into some crossfit also, to give me that high intensity, anaerobic touch that my workouts are lacking. And as for food…./sigh…I totally neglected that too. There is no time like yesterday to get that back on track.
So in general, trying to keep my life in order and blog became difficult. I wanted to write, I truly wanted to, but I just couldn’t pick myself up to do it. The heat as well – my god….the heat in SEQLD lately is horrific. We’ve had multiple heat waves and no aircon at the back of the house….which we were going to buy one, until we were told by the electrician that we are on one phase power, and should be on three, and that our total usage is like 40kw, and our aircon in the guest area alone used 22, not including all the other standby appliances that use the power. Our house was at serious risk of catching fire, if the wrong circumstances, i.e lightning, summer storm and bad wind all happened all at once…
So fixing this issue in the house has been a priority, and when that’s done, and the new aircon is installed, then blogging from my room, study or main lounge room will be a piece of cake.
I will consider dropping back my post schedule though temporarily, to at least two posts a week. It will lengthen my posting schedule and give me time to sit down and write quality content until everything else in my life is back to balance. My issue has always been that I don’t want to have an ad-ridden blog that takes you to a million other pages before you get to mine.
So, hopefully the update is sufficient for now. I will be back to Tuesday and Saturday postings for the next couple of months.
Until then. XO
That Fitology Life
