I give up trying to keep up with 2020, 2021... It was April last time I posted a blog and I seriously do not know how these months just keep flying past!! We are stuck in what feels like a never-ending pandemic bubble but yet I am losing months at a time!!!
And to be honest, I am no closer, probably further from any goals now than I was in April when I posted last about pivoting. We did pivot and we did get really back into training with the help of HIIT Basecamp but unfortunately, Covid managed to even take that away from us! When HIIT Basecamp closed we felt so lost, our two favourite gyms had closed in the same year and we had to join our local gym SATS, which we did manage to get into going and enjoyed their group classes but with no community and being able to go back to our studios in October to work hybrid, we quickly stopped going and fell out of any routine we had created.

Getting back into going to the studios to work, even with such a short commute. It was still a feeling of a whole new world we had to get used to! Commuting, socialising, school drop off and pickups was all suddenly a life puzzle again and this meant working out took the usual back seat. And of course added to that the fact that when you return to your work there is always food, Fika, lunches out, bubbles and cake!

Come November, sickness, dark nights and the cold weather plus an added extra of moving to our new home we've not worked out or eaten right for too long! And with no motivation to even fix it!
Then the other day while thinking about the prospects of a New Year around the corner and 2022 hopefully being the beginning of the curves going down and the new normal being able to begin again came the realisation that I turn 39 in March and that means I only have just over a year before my 40th birthday!!! And I want and need to be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40!

So that brings us to the title, how do I prepare for a huge year ahead of me where everything needs to take a back seat, so I can focus on me, my health and my weight? And actually put everything I have learnt and all the grit I know I have to reach my ultimate goals!!!
Then you have the age-old argument I am sure many of us have with ourselves of well don't start now because it's Christmas, you should treat yourself for Christmas and then focus on it all in the New Year, the usual New Year, New Me :) But is that wise? Should you fill up over Christmas, hardly move your body and then come January starve yourself and kill yourself at the gym? Something tells me that isn't the wisest of ideas but still how do you keep that mindset from creeping in?

| But what if you actually mean it :) |
No matter what does happen over December and Christmas, I am very aware of the year I have ahead of myself and the journey I am about to take! Who will I be a year from now? Who knows but I am excited to meet her and to be that little bit selfish on the way...
