In this blog I have decided to take part in a 28 day summer challenge

For the first time since 2022, I've started running. Not very far and not very fast. But I ran and im absolutely chuffed with myself for it. But before we get into that, I probably need to rewind a little as a lot has changed since my last blog and physical change is also starting to become visible now. Firstly, my weekly weigh in on Monday took me past 20kg lost since 5th Feb. I sort of took this for granted until I picked up a 20kg weight in the gym and thought, "bloody hel

So today marks 3 months since I took my first Mounjaro jab. In this blog I will look at progress, what worked well, what didnt and everything in between. I think its best to start with the reason I began taking mounjaro and thats weightloss. Monday is my weigh day each week and every single week ive seen a loss on the scales. A consistency I've not seen since I first got fit in my early 20s. My total weight loss is now 16.4kg in 3 months. Im fairly happy with this but it only

This blog looks at consistent habit both good and bad that have been formed over a 3 year period. It then looks at the effects of mounjaro on both weight loss and mental positivity.

This weeks blog looks at the change onto the 5mg mounjaro and some changes I made in the supermarket for my GLP1 diet

Other than sliced and deep fried potatoes, I've never ate so much veg on a daily basis. Let alone enjoyed filling my face with green stuff like broccoli and green beans. Mentally, I don't recognise myself and I hope I wont recognise myself physically soon enough. This month I even started back at the gym. Yes, I will say that again. I went to the gym. Not once. Not twice. But multiple times. You can cancel that missing person report, I've not been abducted, honestly, it's sti

As I've moved my way through February, I cant help but feel mentally positive. I'm enjoying the new job I started in January, the whole team and culture has been great and finally for the first time in years the KGs on the scales are in decline. Not only is the weight coming down but my whole thought process about food has changed. Again, I'm aware that I'm only a few weeks in but I can only write about what I'm experiencing. Wind the clocks back several months and the securi

Its finally here.... Eeeek! This was a rather large box for what I expected to be a small pen containing around 2.5ml of fluid. There was a degree of nerves and anticipation when unboxing my order. I had no idea what to expect but in hindsight, any nerves surrounding the new journey were somewhat unjustified. My first order contained the following, 1 Mounjaro quickpen 1 info guide 1 needle bin 100 small needles 100 anti bacterial wipes. This package arrived on the 4th Februar

I'm dying inside of shame as I write this post but the condition I've got myself into is horrendous, made worse by my short ass 5ft 7" stature. My physique currently resembles that of a South Park character, although I haven't yet had the audacity to convince people I'm big boned. Throughout this journey I may share the "before" photos, when I have some respectable progress or "after" pictures. Then again, I may not have the balls to do that. But for the time being, my xxl cl

I’ve spent a lot of time recently reflecting on the past few years. Since 2020, I’ve experienced some exceptionally high highs followed by a barrage incredibly low lows. To say the the most recent 4 years have been challenging would be an understatement. I’ve never suffered with mental health before and have always been proud of my mental resilience and “worry about it when its worth worrying about” philosophy, however I found myself battling my own mind and didn’t even know
