Timing ⏱


I’ve thought long and hard about this blog, started typing then started over. 

I wanted talk about time.... ⏱

It goes so fast, I mean already we are in May.. soon to be June, 3 weeks into the Bali challenge and times not stopping for anyone! 

Time is something so precious and yet is something often used as a way out.

I’m a prime example of not having enough time, or at least saying I don’t. And I wanted to break it down... show how my time was spent and how it could be improved, but instead:

I want to emphasis on timing.. 

When things happen and how it affects us...

There have been some times in my life when things have been bad. 

I hit some serious low points...

One thing consistant at all of those times was my support.. my family were amazing, but an unexpected friendship formed at just the right TIME

Aaron

Aaron is my age, we played in the same rugby team. Aaron was, well different. He was a lads lad and wouldn’t think twice about abusing someone. 

He was a complete joker, he would happily call me a fat bastard and stand there with a huge grin on his face.

We weren’t enemies but we were far from close. 

Yet when shit got tough, this boisterous joker stepped up. He turned up to my place late one night. And he wouldn’t go until he knew everything.

Since that day, I consider him my best friend. We don’t talk every day. We don’t talk every week. There have been whole months we haven’t spoke. In fact one time he fucked off to Australia for a whole year without me. But still checked in from time to time with the occassional facetime. 

But I know that when I need him, he will be there!

So how does this fit in with timing? 

Remember last week? When to be honest I was a mess... 

I hadn’t spoken to Aaron, he didn’t know how I was feeling. Yet he tagged me in this...

Something so simple and something he knew nothing about yet his timing impeccable!!

My family support has been amazing, but this simple post came at a time I needed something to help me through. 

Knowing he recognised my hard work, was something that made me evaluate my mindset, made me believe in myself and remember everythingI have I earn’t. If I want something, I have to work for it. But at least I knew my efforts are being recognised! 

I’m forever grateful for his friendship and thankful for his support.

Remember
When time is so precious
No certainty's it will last
Live for today
As it will move so fast

Weekly Round Up

So its been 1 week of the Bali 3.0 Reading through the JSAM page there has been some fantastic starts!  Personally I set my self a target to lose 30lbs over the 12 weeks. Now anyone following JSA will know that weighing yourself is something of less importance and instead using measurements and pictures to monitor progress. However for someone being so obese the numbers really matter. I started this challenge weighing an average of 408.5lbs. I say average as I weigh every day and then work out the weeks average. This is for mainly reasons that James talks about. The body alters weight hourly based on water intake, food eaten etc.  So doing it daily gives me a truer reflection on current weight, although still never going to be completely accurate. This week I averaged 403.7lbs, almost 5lbs weight lose.  I did also take body measurements and I have lost around 13.5 inches over those measurements. Sounds good right?!  Damn right its fucking good! I have worked my ass o...

A time to quit...

It has to be said that this week has been the toughest yet! I have struggled on many levels whichhas resulted in my weekly average increasing by 0.5lbs. Is it time to throw in the towel? For many of years I have tried dieting of all forms. And after a week like this I would have given up, hit self destruct and spiralled back to my old ways.  Maybe its time give up.. maybe I have rode the wave and its time to get off. I don’t fuc*ing think so! Today was a lightbulb moment 💡 After feeling shit about how my daily weights had averaged out I took this little beaut for a walk to see the swans 🦢 While out she had a little trip and wanted to be carried back to the car. I carried her for less than 600 fitbit steps.... But had to change her from arm to arm several times, lift her up as she was falling down and my back ached all the way back to the car. 24.5 x 3.5 + 4.25 = 90 Florence weighs 24.5lbs Last November I was carrying 3.5 Florences and an added extra everywhere I went Not just 600...
