oooowwwwiiiieee
That was my 1st thought when I got up this morning. I had every intention of feeling gratitude for the day that I had ahead of me.. so I turned my “oooowwwwiiiiieee” into a “thank you” when I took a few more steps. Went to the gym, did my workout, got home, had my breakfast and went to work…. my abs are now killing me. It’s like I’ve been sitting at my desk for too long, and every time I stand up I stretch out muscles swimming in lactic acid from the workout last night!
BUT… it’s a great feeling. Gets me thinking that in a few weeks of work outs like that, my figure will improve, my tummy will deflate a bit… I’ll feel firmer and less jiggly when I walk. So it’s all good!
Got a text off my taekwon-do instructor yesterday. He’s over in Sardinia (Italy) at the European Championships. I couldnt go this year because of injuries (and… eeehhhmmm… extreme laziness and lack of training!). Ireland now has 3 (I think) European Champions after the competition, and 2 of them were from his club! His club brought home around 10 European medals and he was delighted. He was so pumped, it got me missing the sport. Now that I’ve started doing some exercise in the evening, it might help me feel less tired after work…. and I may get the energy to make the hour trip up to his club on Wednesday and Friday nights for training.
I woke up this morning with a wish…… a dream…. one that I can realise with alot of hard work. I want to be a World Champion… I know…. I know…. seems a bit far fetched. BUT I already have 1 Worlds gold from last summer, but it was a team one. I would love to get an individual gold medal. The next Worlds are on in Canada in 2 years time. If I get my butt in gear, I could start my sparring training again next week, with a short term goal of getting placed in Nationals this October…….
You know what….. I have the power to do whatever I want. Having these goals in my mind will really help my weightloss. When I get to my goal weight, I’ll be able to fight in a lighter weight catagory… and I’ve beaten girls in this category in the regional competitions (they lump all us girls into one category regardless of weights because of small numbers).
I can feel the excitement coming on again. Renewed focus.
Right so…. off to read some blogs. Hope yer all having a great Tuesday!

You sound really inspired this morning and it is rubbing off on me. You can do anything you set your mind to. Always keep your goal in the front of your mind and know that it will take hard work to get there. Once you reach it the reward will be sweet.
You have the power! Go, incredible Champion, go!
No limits in dreams. They will come true when you work hard and see stars in the sky while you sweat and struggle and keep on going on.
WOOHOO!! you can totally do it, look at how energized and focused you are just THINKING about it, you will win that title in no time
Wow!! A Gold medal!! You go for it, girl!!!
If you can dream it, you can do it! My grandmother once told me to always dream in color, never dream in black and white and that’s what you are doing! Go for it
