Resolutions

I started this year with a bid to get fit and healthy Loosing at least a stone -that to me is wealthy So, to a gym, swimming pool or zumba ..do I lumber Absolutely NOT - let’s be radical and try Army Fit.. High intensity training - don’t be soft - don’t be a t.. I’ve not down experience for a while But this, making my muscles ache makes me smile No fancy equipment, just mats, weights, ropes, tyres and balls Which although bones achy - helped me walk talk Six weeks in -then disaster struck I felt I was at the bottom of a 6 Nations rugby ruck A simple sprint at the end of the training session Was an unbelievable lesson Of how sport can sometimes not be good for you.. Bang went my achilles in my heel Which started the unfortunate medical wheel Although I tried going to work the next day After driving, trying to concentrate, I did have to say I’m temporarily giving in..I’m in real pain Work have been great I and they recognised I am in real state Scans and X rays lead to crutches, bandages, a boot and pain medication And now sitting with my leg raised on the sofa - that is my new and boring station. However, I have to try and be positive- firstly the pain relief has got to go It’s making me sick and head slow Then I will begin to think clearly And go to the Physio - and learn exercises that I will hold onto dearly I’m down but not out And although my aim was to be lean- I might for now have to carry on being stout Until of course in time I will return to being healthy I will again think stealthy Of a new way of being fit and mentally wealthy.
