I've been putting this email off for weeks

Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

I've not sent an email for a few weeks and I've done a 'classic'..

The longer I left it the more I got in my own head.
I kept thinking 'what do I even send for the first one back', then 'it's been too long', then 'the first one back had to be a really good one'.

The more I thought about it the less I did.

It's not that I didn't want to send them. I love writing these.
I just overthought it, got distracted and spent the time on something else instead.

And it's exactly what most people do with anything they're not 100% sure how to start.
You're not sure which gym to join or what to eat to lose weight.

So you end up paralysed and do nothing.
Then you fall back into the same habits that got you somewhere you're not happy with (like me with these emails).

Anyway.

I'm back with loads of helpful insights to talk about over the next few weeks.

These emails are here to give you a kick to actually do something, with or without me.

But most people who join my coaching realise pretty quickly I'm just a normal bloke who wants what's best for them.

My coaching is very different to the norm you see on Instagram.

I learn to understand your life and then take you step by step through fitting health and fitness into it, until you're hitting goals you never thought were possible and keep them for life.

If you want that, Tell me more about yourself here and I'll get back to you today.
Or reply if you've got a question first.

Less thinking and more doing this week ✌️

I did a 25km trail race in the Lakes a couple of weeks ago. Rated 5 out of 5 for difficulty. I'd only run about 60km the entire year before it. I sounds nuts but I did it for two reasons. The first is I want my kids to grow up thinking this stuff is normal. Training, pushing yourself, eating well, not drinking every weekend. Most people weren't brought up that way and for a lot of people exercise is just weird. I don't want that for my kids. I want them to see their dad doing hard things and...

Laura (my girlfriend) went vegan for a whole year once. She didn't watch a documentary or have some big moment about animals. (although she loves them) She just spent loads of time around one of my best mates who is vegan and it slowly rubbed off on her. She's not vegan anymore by the way. But it shows how much the people around you shape what you do without you noticing. If you're around caring people you end up more caring, and if you're around fit people you suddenly want to have a go...

Summer holidays have started, and I'm already seeing posts about "surviving the next six weeks." I get it.Having the kids around 24/7 is intense. No nursery breaks, no quiet mornings, constant snacks and "I'm bored" every five minutes. But here's the thing that hit me the other day: In 10-15 years, these same kids won't want to spend six weeks with you. They'll be off with mates, working summer jobs, or just too cool to hang around. So maybe it's not about surviving… it's about actually...
