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 through!

Refusing to give in, I dug deep. I broke it down to smaller targets

And I fucking made it!

In fact, I had sweated so much I made it impossible tonput myself through weights due to my T-shirt looking like I had entered some dodgy Ibiza wet t-shirt comp!

I certainly wasn’t winning that, but I had already conquered my mind!

Anything is possible, we just have to be prepared to push our way through. Find a way to get the job done

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...

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...

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...

A Journey... Again!
