Recently I did a 28 Day Reset.
Not because I thought I’d change my life in 28 days
Not because I’d “fallen off” again
Not because I was severely unfit
But because I’m building something for dads…
and I don’t want to put anything out there I haven’t tested on myself first.
After 28 days Here’s what I learned.
I forgot what hunger feels like.
Not starving.
Not suffering.
Just… hungry.
I got comfortable with nipping to the snack cupboard or finishing the kids leftovers
And the hunger feeling is uncomfortable when you’ve spent years eating out of habit.
I realised I can sit with discomfort for a but and even embraced the silence
I didn’t need to fix the craving immediately with snacks, leftovers off the kids’ plates or “I deserve this” treat like I’m a fuking dog
I kept myself busy during fasting windows when I didn’t plan I struggled
Training stayed simple.
3 Training sessions per week no more than 45 minutes
Running stayed consistent > more of a priority as I want to get my 5k time below 23mins
Nothing extreme really…I probably could have been better
And that’s the point.
In 28 days you’re not going to fix your entire life.
But you can:
– Build momentum and habits
– Rebuild discipline which you may have lost
– Prove you can stick to something without committing to long term programs
– Start leading by example for your kids
For me?
I’ll carry on.
Keep running to get my times down
Lift more to make sure Jade still finds me attractive
Move better to play with the kids
Drop a bit more weight because who wants love handles for summer?
For you?
If you’re waiting for motivation, hacks or the “perfect time”…
It’s probably not coming.
But I have something coming for you
More on that soon.
