Better late than never..


So this should have been posted last week

To be totally honest I forgot

I joined JSA after finding James’ podcast and hearing what he had to say

Along with the accessibility of his app, the trip he provided layla was what reeled me in

I wanted a bit of that.. I hear Bali is rather fetching

I was convinced Stuart Cooke was going to win the challenge that was running and I thought.. 
That could be me
I could do with a holiday

I assumed that being my size, sticking to CFD and using a training program from JSA I was sure to lose massive amounts of weight and could be a contender

Sounds easy doesnt it

To be honest if I had done that religiously I think it could be the case

But life isn't that way! 

Curve ball

It has a habit of throwing up changes
Things we need to overcome

So far I’m 18lbs down during the challenge but to be honest Ive learnt something more valuable than the extra 12lb I was hoping to have lost by now! 

Resiliance is what wins

Knowing that shit got real

Not throwing in the towel

The last winner Sinead is who has taught me this

She showed that to win in life you have to keep going.. keep moving forward and adapting to what changes before us

She inspired thousands to persue their journey and helps them along the way

Sinead grafted over several challenges and came out victorious

Check her out on instagram... @ihatecardio134_jsa

Her physical transformation is incredible.. yet her psychological transformation is mind blowing

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...
