I have committed to going to Everest Base Camp! I have booked to fly out to Kathmandu on Tuesday 17th March 2026 to Start my Everest Base Camp Trek. This gives me 167 Days to prepare myself and my Business for the adventure!
Over the last 2 years I have been on a emotional rollercoaster with my Dad having Dementia and Passing away in February 2025 after the Care Home and mental decline journey of 5 years I feel there is space to focus on change and building some new habits. Its not all negative, I have developed 4 different rehabilitation courses for people to use at home the first been on Plantar Fasciitis Rehabilitation which is available ( CLICK HERE ). I am simplifying my business to be face to face and at home so I can help more people effectively which is starting to expand. Over the last year I have done more trekking and walking outdoors which I have enjoyed immensely and this has reinforced my desire to trek to Everest Base Camp. For me this has been something I have wanted to do for over 20 years but, always put off as the last two years has demonstrated. In the past I have set goals but not always committed fully so had mixed results. I have this conversation with clients daily, what goal, work out a process to get there, habit and behaviour change and then result. Setting the Goal is sometimes the easy bit, but without a plan and action to get there its just a dream!
In 167 days I need to have a business that can run online generating income while I am away, with team support, oh, and the Fitness for the challenge. Simple !
The reality is that I need to be fit enough to trek over 14 days up to 10 hours a day at altitudes where your oxygen carrying capacity is 50%. Strong enough to carry 10kg of personal kit and fit enough to enjoy this unique experience. This is a very personal goal and will require a significant transformation of weight loss and fitness gain.
I ask everyone I work with "what do you want to be able to do post treatment?, be specific?", we work towards.
Turning the camera on myself has been enlightening, addressing what I want to be able to do and enjoy. I know I have got this, I am confident of success.
Training started today and it was hard, only 167 days to go, so everyone counts. The Gym was a challenge, but portion size, was most difficult and enlightening, hate scales already LOL. Water is much easier to drink when its hot, I am a coffee addict.
Business Changes are significant and my face to face clinic in Stratford upon Avon is near capacity, I now focus on 3 areas, Plantar Fasciitis, Back pain, and Knee / replacement pain and issues. If you struggle with any of these book a Free conversation ( CLICK HERE ).
My at home rehabilitation courses are finished and my first course on Plantar Fasciitis Rehabilitation is available ( CLICK HERE ).
I am just pulling all my key knowledge and help together for a book I am finalising Plantar Fasciitis: "Heel your Pain" This has also been a meandering goal which like fitness needs some focus and habits.
Day 1 is always exciting and invigorating, developing habits, processes and ultimately changing take time, in this case 166 days!
