Found myself a new song for workouts. The anger of it all, love it. music.youtube.com/watch?v=2mAm...

I think the only way to combat my diet problems is to remove all temptations entirely and maybe not eat beyond breakfast, lunch and dinner. No-one to blame but myself.

It's funny how the gym gets the best thoughts out of me and also the worst. I have no idea why I'm thinking so negatively this time. Is that weird? To think negatively while in the gym? The very place that's meant to make you feel good.

Build a life you don't need to escape from.

Man I can't wait to get more lean and jacked. Running is great and all, but that and the lifting? Magic. Hopefully back on legs tomorrow. No more races till the end of summer.

5k (and a bit more) done!

Back under 153 pounds. But really it's not much of a change. But my scale's handle bars don't work now. I'll need to use my gym's scales. Going to be a right laugh if there's a large difference tomorrow!

Mix of emotions this morning, but my workout was bloody good. Can't wait to get back to the lower workout after the race on Sunday.

While disappointed about not getting into the London marathon, I still have the half marathon to train for, and eventually getting more jacked. So there's plenty to work towards. The ultimate goal is delayed, not denied.

Might be hearing about if I'm in the London marathon or not today!

“I am large, I contain multitudes” (from ‘Song of Myself’ by Walt Whitman). People rarely experience emotions one at a time – and sometimes what we feel can seem contradictory. It’s a normal part of being human – embrace your complexity 💙

Virtually no change in body metrics this week. Body weight, fat, muscle etc. No increase is good, but I'm really frustrated. I've been stuck at around 153 pounds for ages. I don't know what more I can do.

Respectfully, I am deceased.

Struggled through the entire workout today. In my head too much thinking I'll never get to where I want to be.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Really happy with the shoulders! Today was an upper day and my word, what a workout it was. I took these photos minutes after finishing the workout. I'm truly astounded about how much change there's been over the last 12 months. There's a lot more to do, but I'm doing it. I'm winning. #fitnesssky

I know I talk a lot about running, but I haven't lost sight of the weight training that I am doing. So, moving forward I'm going to try and post more about the weight training and less about the running. Starting a new workout plan tomorrow. I'm excited as hell. Taking today off was a good call!

I felt really quick on this recovery run. Hadn't set out to do that but this felt like a breakthrough on my speed. Even if it's not, I can be proud of my progress in my training. #fitness #fitnesssky #running

No gym today. Ankles are hurting a little too much. Instead I'll walk for a while. I got a Pixel watch 2 as a treat and I'm keen to test it out.

Seven months on, I love this. I'm so glad I took the plunge and started lifting.

I don't know if I've talked about why I'm into my fitness more than before. I guess it's a mix. I'm fueled by disrespect, by feeling ignored, overlooked. But also to reclaim what I once had, good health. I think about how I was treated by former friends a lot. That helps in the gym.

I'm really proud of how far I've come since this post. I still miss him and I always will, but this spurred me into being a better person.

I hope I'm no longer the villain, but I cannot lose sight of the man I no longer want to be.

Reminder to myself of what I'm trying to get back to. 2015 me was hot and I didn't even know it.

I'm wondering if the creatine I take (which is caffeine free) is contributing to the bladder issues. Going to stop using that and see how the next few gym sessions go.

Felt a strong bout of anxiety in the gym today. I have no idea why. I couldn't finish my workout. I'm not ashamed to admit that, but I hope I can finish strong with a run later today.

Probably the worst thing about my bladder issues (long story short, it doesn't empty entirely) is the disrupted sleep. I get up 4-5 times a night to pee. I just about get enough sleep to get through the day, but it's annoying. Thankfully getting checked out next month after a 7 month wait.

Had a pull day today. Too many videos to share here, so I've posted them on my Instagram. Thoughts and feedback are welcome! www.instagram.com/p/DKn96uHCcn... #fitness #fitnesssky #gym #gay #workout

I was thinking earlier today about making YouTube videos about my fitness endeavours. Problem is, I'm not sure how I go about that. I don't know if I want to. I find vlogging pretty awkward. But I do have a fitness account on Instagram, would love to see you there. www.instagram.com/hopesgetsfit/
