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 check in to daily

If I dont do this, Moira asks why!

Every morning I get a message, something allng the lines of....

Morning, what could you do differently today?

Throughout the day I get a check in message, asking jow I’m getting on and how my steps are going

Moira not only sends encouragements but also ways that I can try to tweak how I’m doing, she asked me to set goals and to make them realistic and achieveable 

One suggestion Moira made was adding a piece of equiptment to step on and off of as a way of increasing steps at home

Something like this....

It just so happens that Moira is so fucking awesome that she went above and beyond 

she asked my address and a day later that exact product turned up! 

How fucking cool!! 

I can’t explain how thankful I am for the support in JSA but also for Moira! She isnt a coach, she isnt someone I know personally

She is simple a great human being!

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...
