Monday Munch from last Monday delayed until Tuesday but only going out this Monday! 7 days later...

Mafia🕴🕴 level direspect for the rules out of me

150g of Greek Yogurt
250g of mixed berry fruit pot (S Value's finest product)
40g of Granola
2 tea spoon of mixed seeds

Low calorie - less than 400 - most cals come from Granola so use sparingly if weight loss is your goal

About 20+ grams of protein - muscle building/maintenance, satiety, hormone production 💪

Good fats from the seeds - Omega 3's - great for heart health, peeper health👀 and brain functioning 🤤

Fibre, vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit pot as well as water - nice one

Interesting🤔

Those with lower levels of physical Activity find it far harder to control their hunger and feel less satisfied and full after the munch

Those with higher levels of physical output needed more of this munch but much better regulated their eating/intake

The Takeaway is that the system that controls feelings of hunger and fullness gets out of whack in those with a low level of output

The opposite is true in those with higher levels of output

Main point - It is far harder to keep a handle on your bodyweight through diet alone

Ironically those that point out someone being over weight and snidely say "they have no self control" are somewhat right

But not from a perceived weakness or moral failing as media/society/companies that prey on you not liking yourself point out

But rather from an actual deregulation of the system that controls hunger and fullness

So if you want to drop body fat or change your body some relatively intense physical activity is most likely needed over the long term

Think lifestyle change and modification rather than crash diets and gimmicky s**z

Happy Tuesday you Bashful Bananas🍌

I've been listening to this audio book the last while

On my second listen as my brain ain't fond of the ol retention 🤪

The author John Joseph is an ex lunatic who previously had a penchant for violence, drug binging and general chaos of the most serious order 🤬

(Yes you can be an ex lunatic)

He had a massively f**ked up childhood and was on the road to death☠

Or an early grave⚰

Somewhere along the way he got into the New York Punk scene late 70s/early 80s and met The Bad Brains a black Punk band🏴

(Rare in the Punk scene then and now maybe, I'm not too up on Punk)

(Sorry Punkle Dekko)

They introduced him to the idea of PMA

Positive Mental Attitude 🌄

The book tells the story of what went down for change and how the author has tried to live his life by this concept over the last 30+ years

Doing the whole Hare Krisna monk life for a bit and went vegan before the whole vegan 🍏thing was a thing and now lives life trying to be of service to others🤝🤲

In short the book deals with the concept of conquering the 'Enemy Mind'🗡

That whiny, self-doubting, I'll do it tomorrow voice that we all recognise

It being a battle that has to be fought daily

I'm often cynical when it comes to self-help books and the whole happy, positive meme/Insta quote culture

(Enemy mind🤔)

As they can be airy fairy or really annoyingly positive in that Californian I'm now loaded so I do Yoga all the time type of way😊

But this is different in that John Joseph is as real as it gets and blunt as f**k with his love🔨❤

Can't recommend this book highly enough

For whatever reason it has really resonated with me and it may for you too

Do yourself a favour and order a copy or Gerritt on Audible

Peace😎✌

Stuck in a rut? Lack the discipline to accomplish your goals? Always find yourself waving the white flag in surrender? Having a string of sh*tty days, weeks, months, maybe even years? If you answered yes to any of those then this is the book you ve been waiting for. The PMA Effect teaches the met...

Night 1 alone with the Squish👶

B**b owner back in work 🤱

Pros: I don't have b***s.. she might realise this and stay asleep.. bottles at the ready🤨

Cons: I don't have b***s... she might not accept this fact easily😩

Current situation: I'm under the Squish

Any detachment seems to wake her

2nd attempt imminent... 😯

Banish your Beal and call forth your inner Kat🦁

If you want to help avoid that bent forward drooped shoulder look rocked by Dublin City grannies👵 and scaldy lads🕴 since the year dot .

Then do some row type movements... great for developing and 'toning' the back and also teaches good posture...

As a bonus the biceps aka the Guns of Navarone 💪look decent when raising that glass to your face hole, 🍸blowing a whistle or in any other elbow bending scenario you can think of🤔

Nice

Have a savage weekend you dirty dogs🐶🐕🐩

A bit late with this post as my body feels like it got Khabib'd😩

Whopper weekend in Birmingham doing the StrongFirst GB SFG level 1

3 days of learning, training and getting a bit humbled along the way

Meeting some great people

Remember You got Tangoed

Well I got Kettlebell'd

Nothing wrong with that though

Sometimes it's good for the ego to be checked

Especially when you think you were starting from a stronger position than you actually were

That photo sums up how my soul felt by day 3😱

Coffee, accounting, book keeping, baby sitting and a little bit of smug Map memorizing 😏
