Stand Up to Cancer

Hello so today it’s the 1st of November and I’ve decided to do the 100 squat challenge for whole month of November. Ste’s decided he can’t do the 100 squat challenge, due to being on the older side of middle aged and obtaining football injuries almost every week he plays. He thought it will be safer if he started on the floor. He will be doing 100 sit ups a day but it’s the taking part that counts kids! Speaking of kids by some miracle both kids have decided to join in with this, which I am genuinely shocked and proud in equal measures.

To help with my squat challenge I’ve invested in a clicker to help me count. I’ve done this in hindsight that on completion of the challenge I can also be available for crowd counting, working on the doors in bars and nightclubs (preferably the latter).

I’ve also decided that I will write a short ‘Daily Dosage’ blog every day for the whole of November. Don’t worry this won’t all be about sit ups and squats (as that would be really dull) but little snippets just generally what ever pops up in my mind (think this highlights the lack of planning on my behalf as per usual). I’ve done this because hopefully it will give me some consistency in just writing a bit each day, something I’m not particularly good at and don’t really have any excuses for.

Why am I doing this? Well because for quite a while now I’ve been pondering WHY? WHY did I start my blog in the first place? WHY do I overshare personal thoughts and experiences? That WHY still hasn’t changed 6 years down the line.
WHY I do it is because I genuinely want my experiences to help others. Share knowledge, symptoms, treatment, emotions, warning signs all in the most light hearted and honest way I can. Showing others, cancer is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, we can still live happy and fulfilling lives while facing sometimes incurable cancers. However, that’s not to say we don’t want to stand up to cancer, in fact I’d love to theoretically knock the sh1t out of it. Hopefully one day we won’t have to. Hopefully one day in the not-too-distant future there will be a cure for all cancers. In the mean time I’m not planning on going anywhere soon.
So, here’s to completing my DAY 1 of writing and squat challenge. Did I do it all in one go, NO but the end result was still the same just little chunks at a time. Well done me.

See you tomorrow x
