Afternoon all, The Bomb Here, How did I get that Nickname oww Yes I ran a Spartan with a group of guys from A group called the Brotherhood. Hard to believe this was 2019, something I will never forget, What made me put this again was me looking at the photos the other day, seeing myself and just how big i really was, and to push myself round, Ok James did most the pushing but not to see I had a real problem with my weight and Health until 2024 when I got told had Type 2, and now for the last few months I have managed to take control of my eating and Drinking and have dropped in weight so much that my trousers fall down without a belt. I lost so much time, but its now all about moving forwards, The Nick name makes me smile as well as makes me push harder now.

When this seem like things are overwhelming and the negative Nancy's come out to play while the self pity monster has her play with the mind Sometimes the best Medicine is to find your quiet space and Reflect on what you have achieved over your life time Get a pen and paper and brain dump Then go through the list at pick out your top 3 achievements I find if I have a picture or something that I can associate my achievements with then put these achievements right in front of your face I have my biggest achievement on my phone so as soon as I open up my phone I see it and I'm grateful for how far I have come, so i see them every day knowing that i can push yourself to be the better version of yourself

While journaling this morning I was writing about the shadows I've spent my life under. I quickly flicked onto Facebook to find this picture. Perfectly timed! It is now my phone background.

Health: This is my biggest focus this week. Healthy eating plan in place for the week. No mid-week drinking. Multiple workouts including weight training and cardio. Aiming for 6 training days Between Monday and Sunday. And will achieve this as it planned in. PD: Effective morning routine and every day. None negotiable. Evening routine too. Mobile down! Career: catch up after week off work. Launch new annual review process. Effectively planning my week. Take a breath...properly plan and don't just jump into chaos. Relationships: Focus is my son this week. On the days I have him. I booked a week away with just me and him I October. Really looking forwards to that. Fun: Getting back into my training and feeling good from living good. Let's go!

Last day if our family holiday today. Been an amazing opportunity to connect with family and partners. Also been a great opportunity to embrace an effective morning routine despite eating and drinking loads. A daily morning activity, practising mindfulness through meditation and have gratitude has really helped set me up for the day. Back to work Monday. I'm ready to rumble. Let's go! ❤️
