A late night entry tonight - so just before I retire to blissful sleep (please!) it is time to update our blog.
We met with the DWP today, and I feel we are so close to getting things going. So much comes down to funding - and anyone trying to set up a business can understand the frustration that we are going through. We have the concept, we have the need, research shows the outcomes we should achieve.
I am busy adjusting the 13 week program down to a 9 week program, which probably covers the need of the Job Centre better than the long one. We have got a contact at the Commissioners and we have emailed them directly asking for a meeting - which is probably unusual but what can we lose?
Personally, I have found a local parkrun which I will join on a Saturday. Timing on that is great because I can then move onto a local bootcamp session in a different venue on the same day. I preach the benefits of exercise and fitness, but my own lethargy is dragging me down. I need to push myself as I expect people to push on the course. Massive part is accountability. Even on the course it will be easier because people will be following all the participants. When, as I am at the moment, you are on your own, it can be very easy to fall into not pushing yourself to the maximum. Or even, sometimes, to do the very minimum. I need to find a way of being accountable before the programs start.
