So I thought I’d just keep everyone up to speed with my life back in the UK. I’ve been back now for about 8 weeks, have moved to Brentwood (thanks Lisa!), am back at work, and in the past 2 weeks have been inspired to achieve what I really want in life. My original plan had been to return to university to gain enough credit points to start next year on a masters in critical care. It was a sensible plan, I figured it would be quite interesting….am I boring you yet? Well by the time I was due to start it was boring me! In that time I had also re-joined the gym and was enjoying being back in a fitness routine, a week ago I built up the courage to speak to someone called Anita Albrecht. How little did I know this was going to potentially change my life. I know that sounds dramatic but right now thats how I feel. I immediately felt comfortable talking to her about the troubles I have had over the past few years, she seemed to know exactly where I was coming from. We set up a one to one training program for the next 3 months and completely revamped my diet and nutrition. One week later I can’t stop smiling, I have so much energy I am bouncing off the walls, my body already feels stronger (although today my leg muscles are screaming at me!) and I know this is the way forward.
It has also re-ignited my passion for health and fitness, combining this with my desire to learn I have decided to start some short courses in sport nutrition and sport psychology. So I cancelled my courses in coronary care and physiology of the unwell adult (yawn!) and signed up for sport nutrition. How did I know this was the right move? I haven’t stopped grinning and bouncing around since!
I have also started to write a book, hopefully something to inspire and motivate people who find themselves where I was a year or so ago. It’s in the very early stages but again, something I am very excited about.
So, having dreaded my return to the doom and gloom of the UK, things couldn’t be better!!!!
Thanks to everyone for their continued support and understanding through the ups and downs of the past 30 years!!!!
