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

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. ...

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...
