Day 24 – Feeling Poorly :(

Well even though I feel crap at the moment... I’m still hitting the gym every day. I felt a little embarrassed this morning as I handed over my membership card for the reason that I looked like I’d just sobbed my heart out. But it was in fact a sneeze that refused to be free and bug the hell out of my sinuses causing my eyes to water like the Gaza puppet from Spitting Image.

I’ve joked in the past when people have said “God Man your obsessed” but I can’t deny it any longer... I’ve turned into one of those gym nuts. It feels like if I miss a session I’ve failed straight away. I know in my logical man mind that it’s ridiculous but I have so much determination to complete the BFL program that unknowingly it’s turned into an obsession. I also noticed this the other day when I was told by my boss that I should attend a customer’s site in London this week... I nearly had a panic attack because the first thing I thought was... WHAT ABOUT THE GYM?? Luckily I worked out that I could attend on a Thursday so when I get back from London I could drive straight to the gym... that made me happy :)

Another example of my obsessive nature was this morning when I woke up I felt really crap as I had a headache, sore throat, blocked sinuses and a runny nose... I would normally turn my alarm off and not bother with the gym but since I’ve started the BFL program I find that unless I was seriously bed bound I don’t see a reason not to go. So a pint of water and 2 paracetamol’s later I was in the gym working on my chest, shoulders and arms... which turned out to be a very good session.

I was a little bit gutted this morning as well because the top 10 attendee’s table was on display for January so I eagerly search for my name but it wasn’t listed. It then dawned on me that they don’t take the attendance from scanning your membership card at reception but it logs your attendance using the TechnoGym key. I would have been 4th as well with my 21 gym visits. The guy in 1st place clocked up 54 gym visits... that made me feel less obsessed as this fella had issues. So tomorrow I’m going to use my TechnoGym key... just so I can see my name on the board next month.

I think I’ve babbled enough for tonight so I’m hitting the sack early and hopefully wake up feeling a tad better for my cardio session tomorrow.
