Looking back at my first full week of January, it definitely wasn’t perfect by any means—especially after being ill straight after Christmas and needing some extra time to fully feel better. That said, I’m really proud of how the week went overall. Last week, I managed to get back to the gym and tick off a sessions, and I played my first game of netball in many, many years, which felt like a big win. I also prepared my lunches for the week and got back into eating regular meals, while slowly increasing my daily step count. This coming week is going to be a busy one, but I’m doing my best to stay prepared and organised. Plans for the week ahead: - Lunches prepped ✅ - Dinners planned out for week - Netball training – Monday night - Netball game – Wednesday night - Gym sessions planned – Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday - Aim for 8–10k daily steps Feeling motivated and focused going into the week ahead.

Here’s something most people misunderstand: A decision isn’t choosing between options. A real decision is when you remove the alternatives. Think about it like this 👇 When you lock a door behind you, you stop wondering whether you should go back. You don’t stand there negotiating with the handle. You move forward because backwards is no longer available. That’s the difference between people who change… and people who stay stuck. Most people don’t decide when it comes to their health. They negotiate. - “I’ll get back into it after this busy period.” - “I’ll start properly when work calms down.” - “I’ll be consistent… unless life gets in the way.” And six months pass anyway. Just imagine this for a moment… - For years, you were the fit one. - The healthy one. - The sporty one. The guy people asked for advice. The one who always looked in shape. Then life got busy. Work took off. Priorities shifted. A few too many weekend beers. More takeaways than you’d like to admit. Less energy. Less confidence. That was me. And I know so many of you can relate. After coaching for over a decade, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: Everything changes after one moment. The moment you stop negotiating. The moment you lock the door on the old version of you. The moment you decide your health is no longer optional. For me, it was seeing photos on the rugby pitch, love handles over the shorts, shirt tight in all the wrong places. For others, it’s: - Not keeping up with the kids - A joke from the lads that hits harder than expected - Favourite clothes no longer fit - Catching your reflection and not recognising yourself That moment isn’t something to ignore. It’s a signal. So here’s the real question: Have you decided to prioritise your health, fitness, and wellbeing or are you still negotiating with yourself? Because six months from now is coming either way. The only difference is whether you arrive stronger, fitter, and more confident or in the same place, telling yourself you’ll “start soon.”

Not chasing extremes. Not forcing volume. Not trying to “win” every day. Just showing up and executing the fundamentals really well. Over the next 6–8 weeks, my personal goal is simple: 👉 Drop 4–5kg and sit around 80–81kg. But I’m not chasing the outcome. I’m focused on the process... because when the process is right, the result takes care of itself. For me, that looks like: - Training booked and completed (no negotiation) - Calories planned the night before - not guessed - Similar food eaten each day to remove desions. - 4-6k steps done before starting my day, plus an evening walk to wind down. - Sleep and recovery are respected. Get to sleep before 10:30 pm This applies whether you’re: - cutting fat - maintaining - rebuilding consistency - or just trying to feel better day to day The goal doesn’t matter as much as the standards you live by. So use today to set yourself up for success this week. 👉 What ONE basic are you committing to executing better this week?(Training? Steps? Planning meals? Sleep?) Comment on it below, then go and do it. Simple works. Consistency wins. World-class basics build world-class results. 🔥

HAPPY NEW YEAR! LET’S START THIS PROPERLY Rather than doing the usual “New Year goals” talk, I listened to a podcast from Jay Shetty over the break that really hit home. One line stood out: “Where you are right now is a launchpad, not a trapdoor.” You’re not behind. You’re not stuck. You’re not failing. You’re stabilising, and that’s part of growth. So let’s start this year how we actually want to carry on: with honesty, intention, and action not pressure or perfection. 👇 Take 60 seconds and comment on all three: 👇 1️⃣ Reflection What’s been your BIGGEST personal or fitness win of 2026 so far? (Big or small... consistency counts.) 2️⃣ Intention What’s your word for 2026 — and why did you choose it? 3️⃣ Action What’s ONE small action you’re taking TODAY to make sure you move forward? (Not tomorrow. Today.) Momentum comes from reflection → intention → action. Drop your answers below, then do the action you just committed to. Let’s start 2026 the right way.
