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

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 ...

Santa Shred Completed

So 6 weeks have passed and Jamie Alderton’s 6 week santa shred has come to an end.  Now I know I’m not going to be announced as a winner, and I’m cool with that. I overcome fears of posting video’s of me talking to going live to an audience! Although it was only 2 people! 🙈🙈 I finished 3lbs difference to my start weight, however I had slowly increased in weight for the first 5 weeks so this weeks achievements were 7lbs!  I liked Jamie’s style of coaching, his accessibility is second to none and he interacts with anyone who requires it!  I’m hoping to stay in his group and aim to push on with my lifestyle changes! Here’s to another week! 💪🏻💪🏻
