My daughter is running in this years London marathon and her chosen charity is Mental Health.
Her employer has pledged quite a sizable amount but she has to raise the same amount herself.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring her I’ll provide or put a go fund link on here, if that’s ok with Admin ofc.
As above all that is raised will go to Mental Health.

Well, it’s the start of the next 6 months of gym work this week. Time to get back in the headspace. PT now wants me to focus on physique building as he’s happy with the weight I got to. It’ll be my 2023 reset switch mentally given the events of last week. Roll on Spring time, lighter nights and warmer weather, much needed, winter can kiss my no longer fat arse :D Go get em’ mate. Your before and after photos at the end of 2023 are going to be amazing. This going to be a great year for you. 🙂👍

What's he like when he's skipped? Very up and down but mostly down, goes on about quitting his job, having no money etc all the time. I don’t know if he suffers any adverse side effects but he’s much more positive when he’s taking them

Crikey lads, here’s one for you, but old chig actually went on a date tonight. No it wasn’t my hand, no I didn’t imagine them or take a sex doll with me, it was an actual human being surprisingly, and I didn’t say out before in case it ended up going tits up again Given my amazing record of being cancelled on or ghosted, good to start 2023 with a success. Anyways, we actually had a really good night. We went mini golf up ‘castle, had some good banter with each other. That was probably an hour round the course, and then we ended up sitting and chatting with each for a good 2 hours. Generally i find if your conversation goes on for that long there’s clearly some form of mutual interest there. Night ended, thanked each other for a good night, hugged and asked her if she’d like to meet again, said yes so that’s bonza. I am now going to go to bed soon, wonder how many Stoke will lose by tomorrow and mentally prepare for PT in the morning.

Well she'd actually mentioned about not beating me at golf, but she'd do us at bowling, so that looks like the leading candidate. Be a good laugh to be had I think.
I found that yesterday an activity based date seemed to go much better than the two coffee dates I went on last year. Gave us both something to do and take the piss out of each other on.
Unrelated, but at PT this morning, one of the regulars who I've seen up the gym back when I went pre-covid and started last year sent me on my way with a smile. Completely unexpected, but he came up to me to say 'I just wanted to say, your transformation has been incredible'. Dealing with compliments from strangers is a new one on me, because it never happens usually, so I could only stutter a thank you very much But for one of the regulars to notice, that meant the world to me and only reaffirmed my belief on the PT being the best thing I've ever chosen to do in my life.

Brilliant stuff Chigsy. When people notice and make a positive comment it makes you realise why all the hard work was worthwhile. Not sure if it’s down to new found confidence or walking tall but after a big loss it does feel like people are nicer too you too. Shouldn’t be like that but that’s what I found. You must be flying high at the moment mate. It’s well deserved. I
