Let's talk Recovery in 2024.

We all fall off the wagon for various reasons, and we can all beat ourselves up for it.

In 2021 something happened in my life which destroyed my mental health and confidence. Over the following 2 years it took my physical and emotional health.

After a heart scare in late 2023 I used the last 2 months to get myself in a place mentally to address my health.

On 27th Dec 2023 I took the first step back on track.

Now you may say that getting back on track mid Christmas is a bad idea and your setting yourself up to fail. I disagree and here's why;

1. I was in the right place mentally to start. Kicking the can down the road would impact that positive mindset and make it unlikely I would start.

2. The period in-between Christmas and New Year is often without structure or meaning for most people. It's a perfect opportunity to start something new.

3. You can start to improve health after the Christmas blow out, even if you are having a big celebration New Year. Even knocking 0.5lbs off is a big incentive to carry on after New Year.

By 31st Dec 2023 I'd lost 1.8lb. New Year's Day is my birthday. I celebrated. Today I had "gained" 1.1lb. I know that is mostly water retention from the alcohol and sugar, and I'll lose it within the next week.

The main takeaway is that in that dead space across Christmas I lost 0.9lb. I'm proud of that! If I can do that across Christmas I can do it in 2024.

Of course, recovery also means setbacks and lapses. I know I have to acknowledge when these happen but not let them define me or derail me.

If you want to join me on the journey I have one virtual coaching space available.
