Who else can’t seem to stick to anything? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Then when you inevitably drop the ball you give yourself a right bollocking for not being good enough at adulting.

All the fitness coaches just say ‘be more consistent’ 🙄

The only fix is to diagnose the obstacle and take steps to remove it and reduce the chances of messing it up again.

I’m as consistent as they come with training but being an adult is about way more than that.

This is not a woe is me post btw. I’m working on it and taking positive action to get better.

Ever have those days where adulting feels too much?

You’d rather binge the entire Indiana Jones collection, order in a takeaway and pretend the world doesn’t exist.

That’s so appealing but we both know when you skive off you have to pay it back in the end.

That’s why no matter how I’m feeling I’ll always set let things as bare minimums for the day so I don’t lose momentum.

Sometimes they are the same things days after day. Other things come round on set days of the week.

It’s cliche but doing something is better than nothing. It stops you slipping back into your old ways.

Tomorrow is going to be a much better day. I’m praying to the sleep gods to help me out here.

I’m planning some big goals for the next 3 years across all areas and part of that is breaking it down into smaller and smaller bits to make it achievable.

One of those big goals is to work on my fitness levels. I can really tell the difference now compared to when I was running multiple times a week.

I haven’t really run properly for a good few years and recently I’ve been missing it. It was so good for my mental health to be out running, processing my thoughts and getting those endorphins going.

The problem over the last few years has been my right knee. It’s been struggling to cope with my wonky hips and tight muscles which puts it under a lot of strain and ultimately make it very sore.

Yesterday morning I decided to do a test run to find out how long it would take for my knee to hurt so I could plan out how to measure my successful return to running over the next 3, 6 and 12 months and put milestones in place to keep me focused.

My 12 month goal was simply to be able to run continuously and pain free with capacity to train for a race if I decide I want to.

Yesterday’s attempt didn’t feel easy. I could feel my fitness has suffered.

It was pain free but there were a few aches that went away.

Every time I felt like stopping I pushed myself to see just what I could achieve with the right attitude and mindset.

By the time I decided I really shouldn’t push my luck and risk an injury I’d run continuously for 33 minutes.

I’m absolutely ruddy thrilled with that. It validates all the strength work I’ve been doing in the gym to make my knee more resilient and battle proof my body against the ageing process.

Now the goal is to fix my wonky hips and tight muscles and get some more running in but by building up sensibly so I don’t end up back at square 1 again.

I am on an absolute f*cking mission to improve every area of my life - body brain, business and everything in between.

The midlife comeback is well and truly on.

These photos are exactly 2 years apart after I decided to stop f*cking about with my training and nutrition.

I’m not the coach who is going to sell you a 4 week shred challenge and a pocket full of false promises.

If you want to melt away all your body fat, replace it with more muscle than Arnie and get it all done before the first mince pies hit the shelves you need your head wobbled.

Looking for yet another quick fix is exactly what stope people getting anywhere.

Unless you’re willing to change your habits, behaviours and attitude, you’re gonna stay how you are.

There’s nothing wrong with that unless you know deep down you’re not happy with living out the rest of your days with the droopy dad bod, aches and pains and f*ck all energy.

Imagine how you’d look and feel if you’d started 2 years ago.

But neither of us has a Tardis or a Delorean.

The best thing you can do it get started now before too many blocks of 2 years pass and you wind up never doing it.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’ve partied, drunk b**r, over eaten, missed training sessions, been on holidays, gone to festivals, been ill etc over the last 2 years but I’ve navigated them sensibly and never missed a single check in with my coach.

If you’re the dad that wears a t-shirt in the pool with their kids and wants to f*ck with the lights off, I can help (with the body, not the f*cking 😂). 

It’s been a good two years but I’m not done yet. There’s still SO MUCH work to do until I’ll be happy but I’m not letting age stop me and neither should you.

Well that was absolutely ruddy fantastic. A whole week of chilling was very much needed.

I learned a lot too. Some of which surprised me a lot. Especially the fact that all inclusive is in fact TOO MUCH food.

I also realised I’m sh*te at getting photos and that a whole week of pool days isn’t my ideal holiday.

Next time we’ll definitely be out and about exploring more as that’s where the fun is.

Now I’ve got a whole extra week of work to catch up on but already looking forward to our October UK road trip.

Well that’s a wrap! Finished the 13 week pre holiday diet today and I’m pleased.

I’ll do comparison photos another time but although I didn’t get as lean as I’d like, I can see the noticeable improvements in muscle mass.

A lot of lessons learned over the last 13 weeks.

Family meet-up tomorrow then off to Spain for a week with the family for a week long refeed and reset before deciding what to do next.

Body transformations done right take months and years and I’m proud to be putting the work in so consistently.

Bigger and better is yet to come. Age is just a number.

I am the worst hypocrite when it comes to telling people they should be consistent.

As much as I can be ultra consistent with food, fitness etc, I’m far from perfect in other areas of life and that means I’ve been able to dig down into WHY and more specifically, how I can help you overcome the stop \ start cycle with your diet or fitness.

I desperately want to et good at guitar and lessons is the obvious and fastest way to do that.

Every time I start lessons I find a new teacher, a new method or something I truly believe is going to unlock the magic secret.

It barely takes a couple of weeks before it all falls apart.

I keep trying to add something else into my schedule when it’s already straining under the pressure of work, fitness, kids, family, life admin etc.

What I should do is work out when I can squeeze in 2-3 minutes of practice and get consistent at doing that daily.

Might not seem a lot but over the course of 28 days that’s at least an hours worth.

From there I can build up gradually and over time build those practice sessions up to 5, 10, 15 minutes a day.

Your goals should be BIG but the steps needed to get you there should be teeny tiny so there’s less friction to getting them done.

Midlife Comeback Club is all about helping you take those daily steps that add up to a massive outcome.

The longer this diet has gone on the MORE motivated I’ve become.

Usually it’s the other way round, but there’s a reason it’s worked for me.

The more you can see and feel something is working, the more likely you are to commit to it more.

The reason you keep giving up is because you’re either not tracking your progress or not doing the right things to make a meaningful difference.

I worked out which actions were bringing me the most success and doubled down on them.

Being more motivated doesn’t mean I found it easier or more enjoyable. I still had to drag my arse out the door to go on some long walks in the blistering heat but I knew it would pay off.

I’m super chuffed I didn’t abandon the diet altogether. Instead I just focused on the actions and detached my emotions from the outcome eg scale weight.

I think this is another reason the diet has ended so strongly.

I’ve had to turn down several opportunities for blow out meals out and tasty sweet treats but there’s going to be plenty of time for that on holiday and in my gaining phase.

Just a couple of days until I take my final photos and set off for sunny Spain for a week of all inclusive shenanigans.

Final update to follow……….

‘I just can’t seem to stick to it’ is far more common than ‘I can’t motivate myself to start’.

Getting started is exciting. It’s full of promise, belief, optimism and novelty.

The reality of staying consistent is usually boring, mundane, routine, relentless, challenging, confusing and frustrating.

Finding another new diet or workout won’t fix your consistency issues unless you tackle the root cause head on.

I should know. Anyone remember those ‘I’m starting guitar lessons again’ videos?!

The midlife comeback club is the ultimate antidote to the things which keep tripping you up and making you doubt it’ll ever happen.

Let me know if you want more info. Spaces opening soon for September.

Don’t write off the rest of the year just yet.
