The Long Road to Recovery Make Today Count — Day 9

4 min readMar 9, 2021

Today I woke up with a renewed sense of confidence and determination, ready to tackle anything the day throws my way. I really wanted to do something to prove to myself that I can and will lose weight, it was someone’s birthday at work and they brought in a bunch of delicious-looking desserts, however, I decided not to test my luck.

Apart from that, I’ve noticed that my old injuries have been causing me a bit of trouble recently, most likely because of the sudden ramp in intensity my body has had to deal with. I did take some pain relievers this time, telling myself that is was mainly because of my injury, but in reality, I also wanted some relief from the muscle soreness. I’ll have to think of an alternative treatment method when these nagging injuries act up again because I don’t want to take the easy route of using analgesics whenever I feel any pain.

Took the photo today right after the workout still gasping a bit for breath, to time poor for reshoot.

I still feel good otherwise, and everything else has been progressing smoothly, but I still feel as though I cheated a little. Oh well. What’s done is done. I’ll just have to be better tomorrow.

My shoulder was a little sore today, not to the point I had to stop but just something to watch, tomorrow I plan do two walks / light jogs and give the bodyweight exercises a break. Again took a while to get into but once in the swing was well worth it, felt good and got sweaty.

Overall a great day today, I will have to ease up a little bit as my 39-year-old body starting to pay a little bit, however, with the graduated approach I have developed for Geo Diet and Geo Life Style I remain confident results will come. Day Nine and feeling not to bad will take that as a win.
