Life: It’s a Funny Ole Thing

You just gotta roll with the punches.

Well, what an interesting few weeks.

Full of ups and downs. An emotional rollercoaster if you will.

The month started with me, upbeat and fully motivated ready to take my health, fitness and writing to the next level — or at least give it a damn good go.

The first week was great.

Clean, healthy diet. Hit the gym multiple times, two boxing sessions on top of that and I was feeling good about my writing.

Things were on the up.

But that was short lived.

For, midway through week two I gave into temptation. My biggest weakness.

Beer!

Oh, how I love a nice cold beer. Pure bliss.

Upon returning home from a hard boxing session, midweek, I was greeted in my lounge by some friends of ours, that had called in for a catch-up.

And, as I was brought up well, I figured it would be bad manners not to accept the friendly gesture of a cool, refreshing beverage. Kindly offered to me on my arrival.

And that was that.

My health and fitness goals took a hit.
