Hey guys, I just want to take the opportunity to thank to you all.

 

Personally, 2014 has been a pretty gruelling year for me. Getting the new Gymnation site up and running has meant a lot of work, often with not much to show for it. It's also meant that I haven't been as attentive to the community as I'd have liked. So my apologies if I should have replied to something and haven't - I suspect there are a few of you in that boat.

 

Anyway, the point of this is to say that despite the difficult bits, there's one thing that really stands out this year. That's the amount of loyalty and support from you all.

 

There have been a few times where I've seriously considered throwing in the towel, but (and this is where it gets really soppy!) you guys have been a big part of what kept me going*. I'm embarrassed to have just written that... but it's true.

 

The fact that you've stuck beside Gymnation means a great deal to me. So I just wanted to raise a glass to you all and say, "Cheers, everyone."

 

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year. Onwards and upwards for 2015. :)

 

Andrew

Now moving swiftly away from the soppy, sissy stuff... :P

 

It's Christmas Eve. A PT comes up to a friend of mine in the gym. "So will you be doing something nice tomorrow?" she asks.

"Oh, arms," he says.

 

True story - it just happened tonight. :D

 

 

So what's everyone doing tomorrow? You can interpret that question in the gym sense, or the food sense - however you choose.

Haha I will probably train tomorrow morning (24 hour gyms, they are the future) if my calves can take another Wellington hill walk to get there (ouch).

 

This is probably the first christmas I can remember that I'm not meticulously planning or having vague anxiety about how I'm going to eat my whole body weight in food - because I haven't been doing any restrictive dieting. 

 

I'm excited to see my extended family (20+ estimated), especially cute baby cousins. 

 

Eat the food, drink the drink, and wear sunscreen!

Yes, it is such fun participating in Xmas festivities but sooner or later it is back to the routine.

Thank you Andrew for the T Shirt one of my mates entered us all in the competition and he won, so I am sitting here now in a great Gymnation T shirt.

Merry Xmas everyone, hope you all had a great Xmas, sorry it is a bit late but just getting Xmas day over and done with took its toll of my time.

Anyway hope that you have a great New Year with new targets to achieve!

I start straight into pre contest mode on January 1st so there is my New Years resolution.
