Mid Bali Moment...


As we near the middle of Bali, the buzz maybe fading away...

I watched in on the end of Bali 2. And there were some amazing transformations and major buzz about the challenge.

I also noticed that there were a fair few people had dropped out for numerous reasons.

Am I going to pull out? Will I compete the challnge? 

My progress over weeks 3, 4 and 5 weren’t whatI was expecting. However there was a time I would have gone back to old habbits, given up. 

This time I have stuck to the process, asked for advice from the group and big boss man. And pushed on through.... 

Going into week 6, my weight is down and training is going well.. 

Im pushing PB’s on the weight front and smashing cardio I never dreamed I would take part in. 

Only today I actually entertained a spin bike... I mean what the actual fuck! 20 minutes of cycling at a decent intensity before being put through my paces in the pool! 

The support is immense

Since starting this journey, I thought people would think its just a phase. It would pass after a couple of weeks. 

6 months since starting the process I’m still going. I’ve made new habits and a massive part of this is the support I’m getting. 

JSAM group is amazing, complete strangers showing ample amounts of support and encouragement. 

But also I have past friends, ex coaches all encouraging and offering support with training. The last three weeks have seen offers from an old collegue, an old rugby coach, and a childhood friend that I hadnt seen in years really. 

This means the world and a reason I havent thrown in the towel...

Here’s to the rest of Bali 3.0, heres to a new lifestyle...

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

10,000 steps

Anyone entering into a new lifestyle of tracking food naturally tend to start counting steps.  They go hand in hand We get fitness watches, step counters and debate the best accuracy between fitbit and iWatch There seems to be this daily target of 10,000 steps  We all aim for it... but why? I understand it brings with it a level of effort required to get to that benchmark but for some this requires way more energy than others For example.. Diren Kartel, pioneer of #neatup247 will do 10,000 steps in his sleep!  Watch his stories and he is on the move ALL the time Doing a informative video - he bounces about Cooking - he dances Meeting a friend - he walks Grabbing a coffee - he walks From experience.. my normal daily steps was averaging 2000/3000 at a push aiming for 10,000 would be over 3x my normal movement Would I be able to lift 3x my deadlift PB without prior training? One thing I picked up from James Clear - Atomic Habits is that forming a habit is about 1% at a time ...

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...
