It’s finally getting closer to the end of my nine month deployment and things are starting to be planned and prepared for our return back home to Australia.
For me, this triggered the start of my own personal preparation. What you have to understand is that our life over here is completely controlled, in every aspect of the word. So returning back home takes a little getting used to in the beginning because it’s like going from fifth gear into reverse. Where possible I want to make that transition as easy as possible on myself.
To make the transition that little bit easier I’m starting to plan my leave and what I’m going to do on it. Initially I was going to go away to a Cleanse & Detox Retreat, but now I just want to go home and stay home. So that’s exactly what I’m doing for six glorious weeks post-deployment.
I also want to continue on with my health and fitness lifestyle. Being back at home I’ll have more control over my training and nutrition so I’m taking things to the next level. My training’s all taken care of. I’m meeting Eric Cressey face to face whilst I’m visiting NYC. Once he’s given me the once over he’ll create my next new training program to take away with me and return back home with.
As for my nutrition, I’m ready for a change and want to try different things to see how my body responds to them. Michelle Nazaroff will be helping me out initially until I’ve got that aspect under control.
I’ve also looked into classes on the weekend. Jason Clark from Committed Training personally runs Boot Camp classes at Kangaroo Point on Saturdays. If I want different, I have to be prepared to do different so that what I’m doing.
From the time I get home I have exactly twelve weeks until my 40th Birthday. So my present to myself will be my ultimate health and fitness. I’m half way there already and once I get home I’ll finish the job, once and for all.
So that’s what’s next.
