Falling off the Wagon
It happens to all of us at one time or another, we fall off the wagon. I know I’ve been there myself. I’ll talk about that more in future posts about how I’ve started and stopped. It even happened here on this webpage. I got started and created the page. It took me hours and hours to learn about WordPress and how to put the page together. I got the bare bones up and tried out some themes.
I remember distinctly when I got my first gallery put together. It was at the end of a long day of trying to figure out how things functioned. Different things I did changed the way the presentation looked and it was frustrating. But I persevered. Such a great feeling.

A number of years ago I joined 24 Hour Fitness and have been going there ever since. I paid a large upfront sum which included supplements and 5 personal training sessions and a gym membership for 3 years. After that I have paid for a yearly membership.
Water, Life Source
Water is one of the most important part of our daily lives. Your body needs water to survive.
It is part of the rule of three, 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Your body might exceed those time limits but it is a good, easy to remember guideline. Needless to say water is essential to your survival. Related: Filtered Water Workout Motivation Part 3
“Oh bloody hell (in a very polished British accent) this rut again; why does the universe Despise me?” “Can’t I catch a break or is my luck so tragic, that falling off the wagon has happened to me for the second time” These are the thoughts, fuelled by anger that the motivational rookie first experiences after falling off the wagon for the second time. After, some time spent wallowing away in self-pity, a period of isolation arrives where the rookie ponders upon their next big move. This decision could make or break them, it could change their lives for the better or it could render months of their hard work; sacrifice and growth redundant.
After a tremendous amount of time spent on pondering; this humongous, life altering decision, the rookie finally comes to the most logical conclusion that, they will make it their life’s mission to get back on this wagon and do whatever it takes to stay on it. This time around, they note down every moment that lead them to fall off the wagon twice. After noting down these moments, they then ponder on where it all went downhill and what they need to do differently this time around. A realisation happens or more of an aha moment, that with staying motivated and maintaining a new and healthy lifestyle, change is imperative and necessary. In order to make something a habit, one must make it exciting to live by and therefore one will enjoy living that way. The key aspect in staying motivated is to enjoy living in a such a way.

Italian not Greek
People who know me know that I’m of Italian origin. Others see my last name and recognize that I’m Italian not Greek.

There are a couple of reasons why I chose to use Greek as the theme.
