Ten days in Serbia meant I didn't play football at all or squash obviously. I also abandoned my (very) basic daily routine of a few push-ups etc and every day I had between three and five brandies for breakfast, then spent the rest of the day throwing back beers until I stumbled into bed.
Back in Portugal, sober at last, taking stock. The difference to my body is palpable, almost frightening how quickly it's changed - maybe it's my age? - dunno how visible it is but just generally feel kinda looser all over, eight pack has become a six pack etc
Just in time for the beach, great. I guess it's gonna take me ages to get back to what I think of as normal. Football Monday evening will be the first step.
Funny how much this kind of thing affects your confidence, happiness... or maybe it's not funny, probably it's totally obvious, but you get used to looking and feeling a certain way and you think that's "you" and, on a level below thinking, you assume it will stay like that. Although that said, all the time I was away I was conscious that I was sort of letting myself slide, just trying not to think about it.
None of the above is to say I am/was super fit or anything, certainly not muscular/, but I don't like to have bits that wobble or aren't tight and my aim is to get rid of all such.
