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!

Gravity....

Its time again for Wednesday wisdoms This week I am looking at our relationship wkth the earth! I’m not talkjg about Greta Thunberg and Eco friendly products!! I’m talking about the effect gravity has on us and what we call weight Throughout my weightloss journey I have focused on what the scales say. There was a time I would get caught up on what it said and whether I have lost weight or not. However this has changed How? Well for one I weigh every day, fiest thing in the morning I log each days weights and then I take an average each sunday and compare that to the previous weeks average Why? I do this because I understand that weight changes several times thriughout the day based on so many factors Water retention Bowel movements When I last ate Etc So if I only weigh once a week there is a chance it could be affected by by any one of these factors Here’s an example... Monday I weigh 436 and then the following Monday I weighed 437 So I gained 1lbs right??  WRONG !! Because I took an

Boredom

This week I have been off work for almost two weeks and to be honest I am fucking bored My intentions were to use the time to get back in the gym, something I was struggling with previously My thinking was to go during the day when others are working as its not as busy and I can start to remember why I liked going without the anxiety I create about being there However the national lockdown kicked in, so instead I had two weeks at home and my plans changed and I didnt adapt!  The over powering thought of cupboards full of food while I am counting calories and trying to avoid it all This was emphasised by boredom!!  Having nothing substantial to occupy  my mind led to me struggling! Picking on foods I wouldnt of been ofherwised worried about and needing to reach out for support The mind is a powerful thing and it seems that mine needs to be occupied in order to stop me reaching for food!

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
