Fighting fit
Me and B for boy spent the whole weekend watching Rocky 1, 2 and haven't watched Rocky 3 yet, but we will. Ok, before you stop reading right at this second, I have to say, those movies are as good now as they were when I was just a little kid. Especially now when I'm looking for ways to stay motivated, the italian stallion, rocky marciano did it for me. I got up from the couch feeling a new sense of motivation. The one thing I admire about people who's job it is to be in peak physical condition, not only for their wellbieng but also because their bodies ar their source of income is that they are perfectly honed for their craft. Each athletes physique is a badge that they belong to a certain elite club. Think aussie rules lithe muscular bodies (and those yummy shorts), runners leg and thigh muscles, swimmers shoulders...how good would it be to be so good at something that it just shows, how good would it be to have your body so perfeclty attuned, so ready for a challenge? I don't know how much sense this makes to anyone else reading this, but its something I've been thinking about since the commonwealth games.
I went to the gym today, walked 5k in 50 minutes, I am pretty pleased with this seeing as I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to do this. I love that feeling of achievement when you complete a difficult workout. I felt so good, so accomplished, I really liked myself. Those new shoes are such a treat, I really love them
Ok, off to bed. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Oooh the Rocky diet! Now there's an idea... great job on the walking workout :)
I always am fascinated by athlete's bodies, too! Maybe because I fight with mine so much that the idea that you can hone your body to the point where it can actually provide a source of income and living is amazing to me. No matter what weight I have been my body is like this opponent that I'm constantly fighting against (usually a losing battle!) I always wonder what it's like to be so in tune with your body that it's your best friend, that you can rely on it enough to actually use it to pay your bills.
