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

Gravity....

Its time again for Wednesday wisdoms This week I am looking at our relationship wkth the earth! I’m not talkjg about Greta Thunberg and Eco friendly products!! I’m talking about the effect gravity has on us and what we call weight Throughout my weightloss journey I have focused on what the scales say. There was a time I would get caught up on what it said and whether I have lost weight or not. However this has changed How? Well for one I weigh every day, fiest thing in the morning I log each days weights and then I take an average each sunday and compare that to the previous weeks average Why? I do this because I understand that weight changes several times thriughout the day based on so many factors Water retention Bowel movements When I last ate Etc So if I only weigh once a week there is a chance it could be affected by by any one of these factors Here’s an example... Monday I weigh 436 and then the following Monday I weighed 437 So I gained 1lbs right??  WRONG !! Because I took an

Boredom

This week I have been off work for almost two weeks and to be honest I am fucking bored My intentions were to use the time to get back in the gym, something I was struggling with previously My thinking was to go during the day when others are working as its not as busy and I can start to remember why I liked going without the anxiety I create about being there However the national lockdown kicked in, so instead I had two weeks at home and my plans changed and I didnt adapt!  The over powering thought of cupboards full of food while I am counting calories and trying to avoid it all This was emphasised by boredom!!  Having nothing substantial to occupy  my mind led to me struggling! Picking on foods I wouldnt of been ofherwised worried about and needing to reach out for support The mind is a powerful thing and it seems that mine needs to be occupied in order to stop me reaching for food!

Daddies day delight

Always time for Dad... Sometimes I to remind myself if that! Today I have adored, woken by my kids. Breakfast out as a family and then visiting loved ones Even taking a trip to the local cremitorium to lay flowers for those no longer with us With all that said and done I had to remind myself to take the time for me. Getting to the gym andhitting that work out Turned out to be a really good session.. plenty ofsweat, and tears Thats right.... tears!  During my slog on the treadmill I doubted myself, I had forgotten my Why!  I was ready to give up, walk away and make an excuse. But the I remembered... I’ve commited to something, I promised myself to create a better me. To work hard and be proudof my achievements!  So how did I pull myself through? I’ve recently set myself a target, not a weightloss target but something to achieve!  I’m going to do a super sprint triathlon 400m of swimming, 10km of cycling and then 2.5km of running All in one go, at one event This pushed me on, dragged me
