A week has passed since Tough Mudder was completed!
A day of rain, sun, swearing and teamwork!! Proud of this team and the determination they all showed to get through it!
Pushing through every obstacle and lifting eachother up (physically and mentally).
From those Saturdays spent doing Tough Mudder classes at the gym to the high fives at the finish it was all worth it!
Was it a challenge? Yes. Was it a struggle at times? Yes. Will we do it again? Definitely!
Well done everyone! It was a day to remember!

Diet failed again?
Here are 5 reasons your diet keeps failing.
• Your expectations are unrealistic: Setting unattainable goals can lead to disappointment and derail your progress.
• Unsustainable: Your diet is far too restrictive making it impossible to stick to for a long period of time.
• Lack of support: Those around you need to help. Talk to your friends or partner and explain that they need to help you and how they can do this.
•Lack of education: Not knowing or understanding nutrition basics or how to make healthy food choices can hinder progress.
•Inconsistency: You have been near perfect all week, the weekend hits and you undo all your efforts from the week. Learn how to manage your weekend habits and continue your progress for the whole week.
All these points have answers. Diets do not need to be complicated or very strict. Chances are those posts you are seeing from ‘influencers’ on social media are telling you that you HAVE to do (insert diet of your choice) to get the results you want. Which simply is not true.
Find a diet that works for you, and make steady progress. Don’t go all out and lose the weight for a short period of time before gaining it back.
Getting in shape requires continuous habits, not just a few weeks so don’t rush it.

Being fit and healthy isn’t always easy.
I don’t tend to share personal stuff on here but today I will…Today marks 6 years since I got my life back. After being on dialysis for 18 months, on this day in 2017 one of my best friends gave me something, that no matter what I do, I will never be able to thank them enough.
I’m not going to share the full story, but the point of this post is to say; when you are at your lowest, whether it be physically or mentally, all it takes is something positive to get yourself back on track. For me, I was extremely lucky that I had a friend willing to do something so selfless that it gave me my life back and also happened to be the perfect match.
Hopefully for you it won’t be something as extreme as this.
Maybe all it will take is a little shift in those scales or the feeling of your clothes fitting better, to give yourself that bit of motivation to keep going and reach those goals.
When I left hospital at the start of January 2018 I was underweight, weak and basically starting from scratch. Weights that I had done before I was ill now felt so heavy and having to eat all of the calories, just to put weight back on was a struggle to start with.
Fast forward 6 years and I’m here. Probably the strongest, fittest, and heaviest I have ever been.
I know the struggle to get in shape and can sympathise with anyone who is going through an illness or generally just struggling to get in shape.
If you have made it to the end of this post then thanks for reading. If I can help you with anything just drop me a DM or if you or someone you know is going through kidney troubles I’m more than happy to talk about my experience.
