Gym fear?

Only a few weeks ago I started the latest JSA challenge and really focused on weight training

I wrote about gym fear and the anxieties it caused just thinking about going to a gym

I would sit in the car park for upto an hour

Sometimes I would then leave

Now we are week 11 of Bali 3.0 and I have changed so much

I’m down in weight.. rocking clothes I never thought I would and generally happier in my life

Except one thing!

I miss going to the gym!!!

Yep, thats right! The guy that had extreme gym fear is missing the gym

A change in job means I leave the house at 6am and return around 7pm

After spening time with the kids, then doing the after dinner chores I find its time for bed

Now I find I am missing doing my weights program

In attempt yo make time for the gym I have looked at 24 hour gyms locally and turns out there isan anytime fitness right on my door step

Equipment looks amazing and I will be able to get a session in before work

Yet the thought of changing gym makes me extremely anxious

Getting to the point

I guess regardless how confident we become we still have things that make us uncertain

As long as we are persistant in our approach we can overcome our anxieties

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. ...

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...
