What I wish my collection was actually worth, why I didn't keep them in a folder when I was younger and not in my pocket with an elastic band round I do not know....

Low carb meals can be quick, easy and look nice. While also be filling if you know how to add volume and protein

My "birthday cake"

What I'm listening to right now 🤓

New flavour alert, not mine but my brothers but yea damn.

Birthday treat, you don't have to eat the whole damn container, balance and moderation for the win long term. Yea I just tracked it and worked into my kcals.

I don't Believe a lot of people actually FEAR fat loss.

I think they fear finally getting leaner… and realising there isn’t as much muscle underneath as they hoped.

That was part of the challenge here.

His goal was clear: lose the body fat, but don’t end up looking skinny.

So the answer wasn’t simply “eat less and move more.” We needed to keep training productive, retain as much muscle as possible and actually teach him what we were doing along the way.

Now the feedback isn’t just that he looks different it’s

“I feel optimistic and proud”

And he wants to understand every small detail.

That’s the bit I fu***ng love.

Because a good transformation shouldn’t leave you lighter and terrified of gaining weight again.

It should leave you understanding your body better, more confident in what you’re doing and proud of what you’ve built.

If you know someone who wants to get leaner but is worried about ending up skinny, SHARE this with them.

Comment or DM me "PHASE" for the guide to help you know what Phase you should be in and the next steps.

A tale of two halves this week.

From man down with man flu to group hikes on the weekend, it’s been a strange one.

The week definitely didn’t start how I wanted it to. Coming down with a cold/flu when it’s this hot feels both criminal and completely out of place.

But I gave myself permission to rest.

Don’t think for a second that meant my standards dropped.

This is something I actually struggle with. I’ve always attached a bit of guilt or shame to resting. I want to be “busy”, and when I’m not, there’s still that part of me that thinks I’m being lazy or slacking off.

Which, realistically, is a load of bo****ks.

Resting when you need it isn’t lowering your standards. Sometimes it’s part of maintaining them.

Copious amounts of medication, supplements and actual rest later, I started feeling human again.

Friday was about regrouping and getting the plan in place for next week.

Saturday I was Bob the Builder.

Sunday morning was our quarterly group walk — and obviously I had to stop and pet every animal possible along the way.

Last weekend involved Turkish food with a friend for his birthday and seeing The Odyssey for the third time… second time in IMAX.

Then I dug out the old Pokémon cards to show my brother what we somehow managed to collect when we were younger.

Pure nostalgia.

The week ended a hell of a lot better than it began.

There’s probably a lesson somewhere in there about not letting a bad few days bleed into everything else, having the resilience to reset, and being able to rest without convincing yourself you’re falling behind.

Take from it what you will.

I’m not here to preach.

Just sharing the story as I go.
