Getting started again
Hey y’all!! Been starting over for the past year or so, and I’m tired of being on this ride. I’ve done great with counting macros/calories in the past, but had gotten bored, and honestly got tired of counting/ measuring. However, it worked so I’m giving myself that chance again, along with some grace. I think this time,…

Calorie burning calculator
https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/digging/ I found this great calculator when I was trying to figure out how many calories I burned digging a fence post hole. The count for “general gardening” wasn’t going to cut it!

Starting a new journey - Couch to Marathon
In 2013, I lost my wife aged just 21 to Ovarian Cancer. She was a professional footballer, and we were both in great shape. That year I ran the Great Manchester Run - 10k without any specific training. Fast forward 9 years, and life has hit me in the midriff. Working to provide for our 2 children meant things like…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…
