Another Exciting Week Finished
Meet Mikey my Personal Trainer, this photo was taken last week Friday so apologies for the lateness in publishing it here its been a mad busy week again one which has left my head spinning for all the right reasons. Mikey is the Personal Trainer part of the GP Exercise Referral Scheme in the local area where I live, we've worked together a couple of times a week for the past eight months, he showed me the way into health and fitness, increased levels of fitness and ways to enhance and reach my own personal goals. This guy is amazingly talented, really knows his stuff and regularly put his money where his mouth is to show results. I am in total awe of his skills, he is a true inspiration not only to me personally but to a great many people I've witnessed him working with who are recovering from illness or disability, I will be forever thankful for the day I was first introduced to him and for my own intuition screaming at me that I should take a leap of faith and trust him. This photo makes me smile lots because we were laughing when a series of them were being taken, its fairly typical of how things went during our training sessions it has to be said, I often wondered what others in the gym must have thought seeing us lifting weights laughing the whole time, its been an absolute riot of a ride and one which I will never ever forget that is for certain.
Ivan turned 12 on Sunday, he was so excited I'd wound him up about his present all month long but absolutely burst when I finally gave him the box to open his new rollerblades. Phil came and took him out skating which he loved and we did the cake late in the evening together as a family which was just lovely. On Monday Ivan tried out for the local cricket team and got accepted, a very special and proud moment indeed.
The rest of the week is a haze of dancing school, tai chi, meditation, more gym sessions and running with cooking in between. Lionel arrived home on Wednesday morning, Harvey has been loving having his big brother back and has barely left his side since then.
Thursday night I started at Kung Fu which I absolutely adored, I definitely think martial arts suit me, not too sure why yet but my gut instinct is to stick with this for now, apart from anything else its working everything internally so on the days themselves I dont feel like I've done much at all but later and the following day I'm completely floored as internal muscles react to being worked so hard.
Tomorrow is my big eye hospital appointment, I've waited patiently for this for quite some time now, the day is finally going to have arrived when I wake up in the morning, to be not registered legally blind or severely sight impaired for the first time in my life is going to be quite something, not too sure how I will float down from the ceiling from this one although I've known for a while my eyesight has increased by quite a bit, the last time I had a test two years ago and subsequent years I was >1/60 (20/1200) [1.8], can not wait for the official results tomorrow. Better get some sleep now before I start working myself up and can't sleep at all, I'm that excited.
It also has to be noted that over the last four weeks I've met some really incredible people, one in particular has an amazingly magical aura, good friends for a long time to come I am sure.
Now for sleep …….. will do an update with results the minute I get home tomorrow evening.
