So......after exercising like an obsessed maniac for most of my life, since college made me sit still on a chair for what seemed like 3 years straight I seemed to of lost my training mojo....It didn't help when I found out through functional testing at college that I have adrenal fatigue syndrome-this is where you knock your cortisol out of its normal rhythm through hard training, strict dieting, stress or toxins and this can make you feel exhausted every single morning and also hypothyroid ( although this is not yet recognized by all health care systems it can actually lead to diabetes ).
So, under the guidance of my Nutritional Therapist, the amazing Jo Gamble(I don't take my own advice well!) I got the correct supplements to re-balance my systems, took the lifestyle & nutrition advice & tried to rejoin the wonderful world of weight training....but I couldn't...a day here and a day there all I could manage ( I had to join and cancel about 6 gyms in the last 2 years) with a multitude of old injuries rearing their ugly heads and a still defunked energy system that triggered depression I thought my fitness days were over...massive sob...
...Enter YOGA ....wow....bloody awesome...not only are my injuries loosening up...prob due to tightness from doing weights for years but there was an emotional release which was no doubt causing some energetic blockages too...in a beautiful studio in town by the mailbox sits the wonderfully zen realm of Yogasweat...the deal...20 days for £20....wow wow wow...needless to say I'm going every day where possible...I resisted yoga for ages due to my passion for weights ( and because it can be bloody hard ) even though my practitioner told me to go 3 years ago (see.... that's how I know you lot don't always listen even if you have paid for the advise!)
Anyway I'm really hoping me and yoga are going to hit it off in a big way and spend much more time together....to be continued...need to sleep...hot yoga at 11am!
