Back to Basics

So over a year has passed since I last wrote on here, to be honest I dont think anyone even reads it but its a place to put my thoughts and reflect.

My weights increased and I am back at 430ish lbs and miserable! My coat doesnt fit, my chino’s are tight and I refuse to buy anything new.

I started the recent JSA challenge and currently finishing week 4, nope maybe 5! Arghhhhh what ever its almost the end of the week! 

Anyway, I digress

I’ve been back tracking food properly since the start of this challenge and started a 10 day tune up that Jamie Alderton which really engaged me! So I bit the bullet and jumped on board his santa shred challenge.

6 weeks of working along side Jamie and only a week in I can already see the impact its having. He’s really got me to look inside myself from a mental prospective, writing daily jingle journals and taking time to reflect.

With this and the help from JSA coach chat with Sinead Quinn, previous winner and PT for JSA she prompted me to think of the basics, nutrition and movement.

She challenged me to walk 20 minutes, three times in one week. I’ve done that this week already and will continue to push myself for a higher step count than usual.

Its all about the basics, not over complicating shit and then making wanky excuses!

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

JSA Support

So after a few weeks of feeling stagnent I got stuck in the process feeling deflated and like a failure I put out a lengthy post in the JSA group and the to be quite honest the support was fantastic From this one status a couple of people’s comments stood out and made me reflect Mike Redden pointed out - my progess regressed and although I have gained wait I am not where I started I’ve maintained at least a 40lb loss!  Neil Pollock mentioned - comparison is the thief of joy... he then pointed out that this isnt just comparing ourselves to others but also comparing ourself to.... ourselves! The one thing I struggled was how I had progressed last time round How I dropped so much weight last time Now Instead of focusing on what happened before, its about how I can improve this time Its very different circumstances this time around!  Then this comment popped up  Moira hs been how one can only explain as FUCKING INCREDIBLE Moira created an accountabilty spreadsheet, something for me to chec
