Throwback 2017. Can believe it was 3 years ago since my first shoot.

To get in this shape:
1.Train 5 days a Weeke for 12 weeks
2. 6 days a week cardio towards the end
3. Track all your food including macro split every day for 12 weeks
4. Drink no alcohol for 12 weeks
5. Feel like s**t and really hungry all the time
6. Calorie deficit of 500 calories for 12 weeks.

For this kind of stuff I have average to poor genetics but have a very disciplined mind. Was it worth it? Yes because of what you learn about yourself and the process of dieting. Long term unless you are involved in the fitness sector it's not necessary. I enjoy Ben and Jerry's to much 🍦

Should you train when you are tired? Yesterday I forced myself to go to the gym when I could have quite easily have gone to bed. Here is what I found:
-
⚡ Overtime with training you will learn to listen and understand your body. You can push it some days but other days you'll need to stop.
-
⚡Training when tired can be actually detrimental to progress
-
⚡Sleep is one of the key underlying components of growth and progress although often gets neglected.
-
⚡ If you know you will be tired go in the day time not the evening.

The last month has been an incredibly surreal time I am sure you will all agree. From jumping in the deep end of marathon training to everything being cancelled it is easy to got lost in our own self-isolation bubble especially if we aren't working. Tomorrow I'm going to write down and do some planning on personal and work goals in coming months although Kim and I are expecting in the next 10 days so we might not be doing a great deal other than changing nappies.
-
⚡ Stay active daily
-
⚡ Talk to friends and family thought video or voice call
-
⚡ Keep days structured where you can either in your head or on paper/phone
-
Look after each other and stay safe ♥.

As we are all trapped at 🏡 there is a risk we eat more and exercise less and get fat.
-
Here are my tips to help.
-
⚡ Aim for at least 6000 steps a day no negotaiton. We all know the benefits of exercise.
-
⚡ Time restrict your eating. Either don't eat until 10 am or stop at 6pm. Aim for 12 hrs on 12 hrs off.
-
⚡ Give yourself a snack or treat per day (no more than 250 calories ish). Don't take this p**s and have 10 of them.
-
Do the basics right to stay on track.

Day 10 self-isolation 🤪

Full 📹 explaining. So the Bolton Marathon as is everything else is cancelled/postponed. I will still be doing some marathon training and doing a full marathon when things return to normal, whatever that is.
-
🙏🏼Thanks to those that have sponsored me so far I will honour what I said
-
🏃🏻 I'll continue training but not as intense as it could be October or later if it returns and I don't want to get injured.
-
⚡If Bolton doesn't go ahead I'll do another marathon.
-
Thanks for all the support so far.

With the recent lockdown I've focused on switching my training back to some form of resistance training and discuss the plans for the Bolton Marathon and how...

How is everybody doing who is self isolating or on lock down doing? I've been indoors now effectively for the best part of 2 weeks as Kim is pregnant. I've been for an hour exercise most days and working during the day and spending time with family in the evenings.
-
This is what I learned so far:
-
⚡Slowing down the pace of life can be an amazing thing. I've spent more time with my family and playing with Theo than ever before. Whilst his energy is relentess I'll remember these moments for the rest of my life.
-
⚡We've been going through food quick time. It's been difficult getting to the end of the week with basic things and family have helped out going to shops for us. We've been grateful for this.
-
⚡I've been moving less in the day and eating more so getting in exercise has been vital to stay physically and mentally healthy.
-
⚡Having kids at 🏡 whilst 2 of you working isn't a long term solution
-
⚡I spend/waste money on endless amounts of crap normally I realised
-
⚡I'm very fortunate for what I have
-
⚡My social media and news consumption is off the charts at the minute 😮
