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

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...
