Another bad nights sleep and I wake up yet again dripping in sweat, I am not sure why because the room is cold and I am actually cold but sweating my kitties off. It takes me a bit to get up but I get to the gym and complete 40 minutes fasted cardio on the treadmill followed by a little abs routine (must make sure I do abs every day).

Off to work and I over cook my porridge in the microwave and it explodes everywhere. Not happy at all. Back at my desk trying to calm down with a coffee and Phil (who is 1 foot taller than me) still has ‘tude’. So is firmly put in his place, but then Gary (who is my lunchtime walking partner) also displays some attitude problems by displaying clear support for Phil. So both were told to go away in a non polite or professional manner and the Niki Mood board was changed to 100% total rage. This was all achieved by 8:55am.

The morning was fairly busy but at lunchtime we managed to get out in the sun for our usual walk this time without Phil making any dwarf comments, instead he mentioned frequently how stinky everywhere was (like Gary and I couldn’t smell it) as the farmers had clearly been muck spreading. Back to work and the afternoon played out as normal, Phil misbehaving and making me swear when I am trying not to and Gary quietly encouraging Phil and then denying all knowledge.

The day in total was an odd day for me and it kind of threw me off my routine. I went to the stables and then took myself off home to just relax. I spent the evening going through my new workouts and checking the movements out on YouTube and saving some videos so that I know what I am doing. I setup a new timetable on my motivation board noting what muscle groups are being worked on which days and when I will be exercising the horse. I have updated my motivation board and will show you once it is complete with some photos I have ordered that are due to be delivered soon.

All in all today has tested me, its been random but also another example of listening to your body, staying relaxed and going with your gut instincts. I am learning to trust myself and not be afraid to. Tomorrow I will be refreshed and ready to push on again – nothing will defeat me.
