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 steps on a fitbit to the car.

A moment of realisation

I have come to far, it’s been too long and too much of a slog to go back to those ways. 

My understanding is so much different.

Its not reset thats required, its structure and routine. 

This week I have lived on a whim. No work, no structure to my day, no thought for whats going in my body.

With the increase in energy expenditure also came increased income.

As James Smith would say...

Its all about the balance sheet.. mine doesn’t need an accountant

It needs organisation

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...
