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!! 

In fact the tosser just messaged me while writing this!!!! I screenshot it as proof!!

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

Weight-loss Surgery

​ This is difficult writing for a number of reasons. Mainly because by logging into blogging apps it has unearthed my previous blogs. These blogs were at a time I was much happier with my weight. Still very much over weight but very different to where I am in life now!  Never the less I will continue to write and document this process.  My weight has spiralled again, the heaviest I have ever been, and now I intend to do something about it on a more physical basis. In 18 days time I fly to Egypt to have bariatric surgery.  I have decided to document the journey and one day may post it for all to see, This is me, this is my journey

Egypt Day One

So I’m writing this while waiting for the aurgery. Im due to go down at 11:30 local time,  So yeaterday was travel day, we decided to leave home around 1am when our families had gone to bed. This was so as I wasnt to tired to drivining at the scheduled 4am we had planned.  We were at heathrow for 3am and ready to go. The airport was fine a little boring but what do you expect when your 6 hours early for your flight!  Then to Egypt! Even as we came into land the country looked old school. Now once we were picked up, the drive to the hospital was an experience! For a couple of says before coming I had this fear that I may die. If it was going to happen it would be this drive! The roads are crazy! No such thing as lanes or order! Every body just weaves in and out depending how fast your going!  Fortunately we survived! Emad was lovely, he checked us in to the hospital and took us down to the laboratory for blood tests. Then accompanied a porter to take us to our rooms. ...

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...
