YESTERDAY WAS A PROGRESSIVE 4KM. Easy as that.

Today = first abs blaster in 18 months, something I was previously doing 4 times a week!

And here’s the first one. Decided to track training tonight. With first hour analysing the game from Sunday... the rest of the session failed to really push me. However positives are over 7k covered and 600 calories burnt. Tommorrow I’m aiming for abs, legs and more cardio! #cardio #fitspo #inspo #inspiration #health #fitness #diet #motivation #motivated #fit #healthy #musclegain

Day 14 One year ago today, is just got home from the hospital. In August 2015, I ruptured my ACL playing football. Football was and still remains to be possibly my only focus. I was lucky to play for my country, and at a great standard throughout my playing career. I have worked in football since the age of 18 and still do now 6 years down the line. I finally got my operation in February 2017 after what felt like the longest year and a half waiting. I was told I could possibly never play again, every single day I work at trying to get back out on that field. I'm fitter, stronger and healthier. I'm running personal bests, lifting personal bests and am more committed than ever. My last challenge is psychological, telling myself I am strong enough to play again, and ridding the worry of it going again. I have never worked harder than this for something in my life. And I'm nearly there.

Day 13 & it's a forced rest day! Gym car park was full, roads too icy to head out later. Light Core and arms session done but doesn't feel enough. Feeling horrendous for not training today, I should be enjoying the rest, but it's playing on my mind missing a vital session in the plan. The weather is going to be against me this week, but will have to push through. But for tonight? I may have to indulge in a snack!

So I'm not waiting until tomorrow. DAY 12. Premature progression post, I've increased my calorie intake and am training hard every single day. I'm less than two weeks into a 6 week programme that I have tailored myself. Challenging myself further and seeing daily benefits. Potentially the best thing I have ever done and I'm still only at the beginning. Just to add - I got another 2mile PB today!

ALL I GOTS TO SAY IS ... IM SO EXCITED TO SHARE TOMORROWS PROGRESSION PICTURE.

YO! 10-6PM at the Nattional Football Centre working today. In -1 degrees weather, freezing and stiff! Straight home- straight to the gym and smashed a 2Mile PB. Quick ab session now, early bed and back to work 8AM. Cardio is on POINT this week. Excited for my Week 3 picture update!

The focus for me the first two weeks has been ensuring I am training right on the foods I am eating. Next week I will be blogging more about the foods I am consuming.

Replacing my sins with goals 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

Each training session ends with a thorough stretching regime. It is absolutely paramount to keep my body in tact to allow myself to challenge myself each day. I take 20 minutes a day to ensure I stretch out each part of my body. Using a foam roller where possible. Stronger and flexible muscles allow me to complete exercises each and every day with minimal stiffness.

Managed 4.5 miles today. Home. Brits 2018. Sleep. Same again tomorrow.

Day 6 This week I have managed 22 miles, gym every day and only one small cheat which consisted of sweet and half a lager. There is still some way to go but I'm happy with the first week. The hardest thing is getting used to it, and making sure I am eating the correct foods at the correct times. And, ensuring I don't forget to take vitamin supplements every day! 1 week down 5 weeks to go. 💪🏼
