Got to get my fitness back up.  I had about 3 months or so away from it from September.  I got caught in the holiday - catch up at work - long days - holiday - catch up - long days cycle.  Before and after each holiday I was doing 12 hour days, starting at 5am some days.   

I started back before Christmas and was working hard, combat, spin, balance classes but then in January it all stopped.

Don't get me wrong, there were holidays before, during and after, a v busy period for both.  A holiday of a lifetime, in fact, to Spain.  I know, I know, who has a 'holiday of a lifetime' in Spain?  It's only down the road.  But truly, it was the best trip ever.   

Anyway, that was then and this is now.  I will never ever work myself like that again.  If I get through this, I'm going to be kind to myself.   But first, I've got to get as strong as possible.
