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

Gravity....

Its time again for Wednesday wisdoms This week I am looking at our relationship wkth the earth! I’m not talkjg about Greta Thunberg and Eco friendly products!! I’m talking about the effect gravity has on us and what we call weight Throughout my weightloss journey I have focused on what the scales say. There was a time I would get caught up on what it said and whether I have lost weight or not. However this has changed How? Well for one I weigh every day, fiest thing in the morning I log each days weights and then I take an average each sunday and compare that to the previous weeks average Why? I do this because I understand that weight changes several times thriughout the day based on so many factors Water retention Bowel movements When I last ate Etc So if I only weigh once a week there is a chance it could be affected by by any one of these factors Here’s an example... Monday I weigh 436 and then the following Monday I weighed 437 So I gained 1lbs right?? WRONG !! Because I took an

Boredom

This week I have been off work for almost two weeks and to be honest I am fucking bored My intentions were to use the time to get back in the gym, something I was struggling with previously My thinking was to go during the day when others are working as its not as busy and I can start to remember why I liked going without the anxiety I create about being there However the national lockdown kicked in, so instead I had two weeks at home and my plans changed and I didnt adapt! The over powering thought of cupboards full of food while I am counting calories and trying to avoid it all This was emphasised by boredom!! Having nothing substantial to occupy my mind led to me struggling! Picking on foods I wouldnt of been ofherwised worried about and needing to reach out for support The mind is a powerful thing and it seems that mine needs to be occupied in order to stop me reaching for food!

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

A Journey... Again!
