The results are in...



James has the tough task of going through what are some amazing transformations to pick his winner(s)


This was my first challenge and despite what the outcome is I am a winner.. 


I was always going win.


Thats a bold statement to make isn’t it?! 


Calling myself a winner when so many others have done incredibly well. 


But hear me out...


My weight is something I had come to terms with and accepted the fact I was overweight. 


I was a happy go lucky person, I’d laugh with friends. Confident and generally happy how I was.. or so I thought. 


I started my journey back in November, stumbled across James’s podcasts and then took to JSA.


This challenge has given me a target.. something to focus my attention on and a reason to learn and educate myself.


Overcoming so many fears during the past 12 weeks and managing to complete so many NSV along the way. 


But the main reason I am a winner is that only last week I considered the fact I may not actually hit my bali goal.


I may actually fail.


And for the first time ever the thought of failing didn’t get to me. 


Reason being is that when I look in the mirror I now no longer look in disgust.

I look and see so many changes, I see a work in progress.  


My mindset is something that has changed and improved so much in the past 12 weeks. 


I’ve learn’t that its ok to be on a journey and not already be at my finish point. 


James’s platform is a barrage of knowledge backed up by an outstanding community of like minded people that are happy to help. 


But the thing I take away from James the most is that no one is perfect, and its ok not to be. 


The added bonus... I hit my Bali goal! 31.5lbs lost

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

10,000 steps

Anyone entering into a new lifestyle of tracking food naturally tend to start counting steps.  They go hand in hand We get fitness watches, step counters and debate the best accuracy between fitbit and iWatch There seems to be this daily target of 10,000 steps  We all aim for it... but why? I understand it brings with it a level of effort required to get to that benchmark but for some this requires way more energy than others For example.. Diren Kartel, pioneer of #neatup247 will do 10,000 steps in his sleep!  Watch his stories and he is on the move ALL the time Doing a informative video - he bounces about Cooking - he dances Meeting a friend - he walks Grabbing a coffee - he walks From experience.. my normal daily steps was averaging 2000/3000 at a push aiming for 10,000 would be over 3x my normal movement Would I be able to lift 3x my deadlift PB without prior training? One thing I picked up from James Clear - Atomic Habits is that forming a habit is about 1% at a time ...

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...
