Brains, Brawn and Bamboo

No quote this time. Or for a while. I’m taking a break from Bodyspace.

Eight months in since I started going to the gym and I’m 170 Pounds, or 12.2 Stone. That’s one pound down from the beginning of May. Worse, it’s only two pounds heavier than when I started eight months ago.

Two pounds in eight months. That’s not progress.

I’m moving house very soon, and that combined with my job location shifting dramatically means I am not willing to spend time on the internet or gym…just yet. I need to go into hibernation. Catch my breath. Regroup. Need to get back into a routine and plan a way forward so that I actually make serious progress and not just gain/lose 1 pound every couple of months. Figure out what it is I want to be; what I’m willing to give, and give up.

I’ll still browse the site whenever I can. I’ll check out peoples pages, leave comments when I think it necessary, etc. But I wont be updating my Bodyspace page for a while. Not until I feel I’m worthy of doing so. Not until I have something to show for my efforts.

Thanks to those who’ve left comments. You haven’t been many, but you are greatly appreciated, and your interjections always brought a smile to my face, knowing that, when so many of the people in my life consider me weird and obsessed, you understood why, and urged me on.

I’ll be back. Stronger. Wiser. Better prepared than ever before. But I need time.

Train hard, my friends. The blood, sweat and tears you shed is fuel for your journey. Burn it and blaze brightly so that the very stars are eclipsed by your accomplishments, so that the heavens quake before the might of man and the wonder of woman.

I will join you on my return…
