You know you get those times when you feel that life is throwing you a curveball or three, well lets just say that I have had my fair share of those lately.

I'm not a small guy, about 3 years ago I went for it, I dieted, I did the insanity workout daily and I dropped down to around 15 stone. Then I got pneumonia and that kind of put a damper on everything. My business was thrown into turmoil because I lost a whole load of clients due to not being able to function for nearly a month and things just went from bad to worse.

On the 9th of September 2013 I met an amazing lady! She turned my life around and on the 22nd of December 2015 I asked her to marry me! Things going along nicely, we were getting up early to work out every day and then Christmas came along, we were still being reasonably good but life has a way of throwing in those unexpected curve balls!

On the 30th of December we had the devastating news that my soon to be wife’s mother had passed away. She was only 62! 

As things stand on the 5th of January we are still going through a time of grieving but then I saw that Shaun T has a challenge out! Knowing I have to get back into it and get moving but it won’t be until we have a few things sorted out, I fancy a bit of a challenge on this one, so ok Shaun, I’ve done your Insanity, Insanity Max and T25 workouts and now I’m not the smallest of guys and I struggle but I’m not giving in! I’m in it! Paid my $30 and I am going for it. 4% between the 18th of Jan to Valentines day! 

I’m about to dig deeper!
