Nice cool 6lbs down this week. 
Back in the mix, back in the groove. 
Had a few weeks of stupid injuries and my back being a fucking arsehole. 
Poorly dad card & General Mental breakdown. 
We're back, we're moving, we're better than where we started.

Some battles don’t leave bruises anyone can see (other than the vagina looking scar on my lower back) 

The pain: Back in hospital, More potential surgeries. After fucking doing my ankle ligaments, my back decides that it's fucking fucked again. 

The inconsistency & Inability to get up and get out for my steps without being in fucking pain. Walking like an absolute wrongun and having to explain why I cannot walk or stand up straight when it goes.

Feeling like I'm not progressing and questioning whether I ever really had it in the first place.

Lately, the hardest weight hasn’t been in the gym.

It’s been carrying the feeling that I’m behind in every part of my life. That I should be further ahead. Stronger. Better. More.

Smiling through a headspace I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I don’t know where this chapter ends.

I just know I’m still here.

And for now, that has to be enough. Never felt so behind in life until recently. A truly isolating and lonely feeling.

I won't quit. I won't give up. NEVER SETTLE 👊🏻💥

I know the plan, It's in motion executing it. THE BETTER TIMES WILL COME BACK 👊🏻💥 taken in Rough by @mr_oph

July to Today 

Live and Direct From D48 check in this morning. 

After a scary ordeal Friday night which involved me crawling from my car into A&E to then be admitted to hospital due to my spine leaving the fucking chat for a bit. Discharged today, apparently it's just where I was operated on in February kicking off but I absolutely call bullshit. GREAT WEEKEND HAD BY ALL. 

Accountability is back. Full transparency, I've been fucking after it. Meal preps from @ellaptnutrition_meals which are an absolute game changer for a fat retard who needs convenience and doesn't cook 🤘🏻

@ultraflexgymdurham On the evening gain train 💪🏻 

Steps will come back, I'd torn all of the ligaments in my ankle 3 weeks ago, which again was fucking brilliant 🫠

Two choices: Moan about it and get worse or GET AFTER IT AND GET BETTER! 

Never Settle. The race to not as fat for Xmas is on! Spooky skinny season 🤘🏻 (said by some daft cunt from slimming world who eats based on syns)🫠 taken in Minor Setbacks 4 Major Comebacks by @mr_oph

Hi everyone 💙

Craig isn’t doing very well at the moment so I’ve decided to make this post on his behalf.

After seeing Richie Howies post yesterday about different ways we can raise more money and most importantly create more awareness around Craig’s story, we’ve decided to try something a little different.

We’ve created a QR code for Craig’s GoFundMe which you can save to your phone, share online, print out and if you’re able to put up in busy places such as gyms, workplaces, cafes, community centres or anywhere you think people might see it.

There are still so many people who haven’t heard Craig’s story and we’re desperately trying to reach as many people as possible. One share could reach the person who helps give Craig another chance.

Please share this as far and wide as you possibly can. If you can print one and put it somewhere even better.

You could genuinely help save my husband’s life. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who continues to support Craig and our family. It means more than you will ever know. taken in South Shields by @mr_oph

Another epic weekend doing cool events up and down the country, although it's not as often as the good old days! 

No one does an event like The Team @strom_sports_nutrition squad, a team I've worked with doing events for many many years. The most well oiled machine for the smoothest of productions 🤘🏻 

@grapplemaxuk 3 was an absolute blast! In house 🎧 💿 duties, Fighters Ringwalks, Mood Music, Assisting on lighting queues and all of the other fun stuff behind a mixing dessskkk (pretending to know what I'm doing) 

I don't do Jiu Jitsu & im injured as hell so probably for the best I don't, but I am extremely proud to be part of GrappleMax. The best people, Atmosphere, Venue, THE LOT! Love to be part of it. 

450 mile round trip: Sunderland to Shrewsbury & Back to Sunderland - NO DRAMAS 👊🏻💥

DIDNT TAKE ANY FUCKING PICTURES MIND 🫠

Onto Grapplemax 4 🥵

2026 is becoming the year of "The Injury" 

Minding my own business having a lovely stroll up on the dunes of the Northumberland coastline yesterday I full send stacked it and my foot went the wrong way, MASSIVE POP & CRUNCH.... hit the deck, foot's like a pudding. 

A 2 hour 3 mile hobble back to the car, a 1.5 hour chill in A&E and it turns out I have fractured my Talus... hadn't heard of it till then. Apparently it's one of the hardest ones to break according to Gorgeous @george_regendurham 

Temporary hold on being the 👑 of Steps. I won't stop training upper and keeping my food on point. 

Walking like Robocop with his boot on, bootylicious. I'll be back, 6-8 weeks on this with a lot of Wolverine stack going in!

Wholesome Weekend DUMP (Well all Saturday things) 

Saturday: @richardjames26 absolutely smashing it out of the park @thehybridgames.uk Newcastle with a PB time. Very very proud of my good friend, killed it out there left nothing on the table 👊🏻💥 becoming a member of the Hall family with @eviehall1704 & The Godfather of Cool @chrishall467 🫶🏻

Then onto @craigdunn90 charity football match which ended up me being the last 15 minute super sub for Consultiv on Loan from Direct Global. Which was a great match seeing some old faces and catching up. There's no room for rivalry in our industry when there's peoples lives at stake & Helping Craig in his fight to live longer! If I was playing in the back garden I'd have shut the fucking curtains! Seeing my brother @robbiegray15 and hearing about him smashing it starting his own business coaching runners which is a real passion is immense. 

Followed by a solo adventure to The Cinema to go watch Spider Man, which I'll be honest, the action scenes were tremendous but the plot is piss wet through. Bring back Toby Maguire and the good ol' days! 

This weekends made me more determined in my life and goals to do more, see more and be more. 

Should I do a hybrid games next year? MAYBE!

WEIGHT LOSS WINS

Going back towards the start of my journey when I was tipping the scales at 30 stone or 190kg I remember going to Alton Towers because I FUCKING LOVE A ROLLERCOASTER! 

I had to sit in the wider seats on certain rides back then, people had to swanton bomb the harness over my belly because bloat god. 

I even got walked off RIPSAW because "Anna" the poor girl jumping on the harness couldn't get it to lock shut so I had to do the walk of shame off because everyone laughed at me FAT BASTARD. It makes you overthink everything when you are as big as I was Chairs, Booths, Rollercoasters, anything like that incase you break them, it's a tragic reality of the situation you found yourself in. 

I've been very anxious to go back because of this experience however, with my journey and the work I'm putting in I was fitting into everything no wide seat NO PROBLEMO 👌🏻 

Burned head looking like Doctor Robotnick from Sonic The Hedgehog (thanks Rick Maughan) ☀️ because the factor 50 wasn't cutting the mustard in the 🪒 braved for @craigdunn90 💙 

The work doesn't stop, excited for another week of @ultraflexgymdurham & Chill. Check in with the boss man tomorrow and every day getting after it! 

Never Settle! ALTON TOWERS!!!!

BRAVING THE SHAVE 🪒 Showing support and solidarity for my brother @craigdunn90 who's lost his hair through Chemotherapy as he bravely battles a very rare form of Brain Tumour called Medulloblastoma. 

I'm not setting a go fund me up for this one personally, I'd rather if anyone wanted to donate and give Craig & his beautiful family a shot at prolonging his life raising vital funds for research treatments in 🇩🇪 at £30k a pop with Craig being told he'll need a minimum of 10 treatments, anything you can spare would be great 🙏🏻 

Craig has a beautiful wife @nabela_salem & a gorgeous daughter Serena who need both a husband & a Dad to be around for as long as he can be 💙 

I've known Dunny 18 years, I love him like family. Anyone who knows him adores him. Please guys, help Dunny have a shot at life 🙏🏻 

We're all behind you Brother 🫶🏻

REMEMBER WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE & WHERE THE FUCK YOU STARTED! 

Been giving myself quite a hard time about progress, when you look at yourself in the mirror everyday you tend to get super critical and analytical about yourself and "why you haven't done better" 

That's just the negative side of your brain talking, the one that wants to keep on staying in the same place, scared of change. If you really want something you'll have to push past this, Hunger, cravings, the want to flatten the cupboards or crack open that bottle of wine or those cans after a hard day or a stressful time. 

The people around you who don't get it or want to see you win will want you to stay the same too, make sure your ⭕️ is tight, make sure there's a good support network of people who give a fuck, if you haven't got that MESSAGE ME, ILL REMIND YOU OF WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!! Everyone's important and everyone's goal matters if they're trying to better themselves. I've lost a lot of people along the way in my journey, but the ones who matter and are about it stay. 

In R3T4 we trust, because I don't flatten the snacks, I've got laser guided focus as to where I want to go and what I want to do as I approach ONE YEAR OUT of @summershreddingchampionship transformation class!

Remember, nothing changes unless YOU DO 👊🏻💥

Drop me a message if ever you need a hype up or your goals sound strange to you, I'll remind you they're not 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Big love people ❤️
