Day – Over 100 day challenge successful.

So since Sunday night my guts have been rotten, bad indian meal I put it down to. Why you ask well had prawn bhuna. Which boomed out of me for the next 24 hrs . Meaning I was in no fit state to be creative. 

Therefore I wave the white flag of defeat and sadly retire from the challenge and declare GGN the victor.

But thats not all despite all things I have over the last 3yrs got steadily worse at going training,  why well work, family commitments and finding the once clear path no longer so.

Here was the final kick though.

I don’t like letting people down and Kyoshi is one I do not like to let down, so tonight I informed him via text. This weekend I will speak to him.

So I am now Ronin.
