101 to 81 SORRY FOR THE NAKEDNESS (and the monologue) but today I successfully got to a milestone loss of 20kg since my heaviest at 101kg. This is the first time I’ve been this light at a healthy state. I touched on it when I was pretty ill earlier this year but a lot of positive change and a determination to succeed I’m here, happier and more positive than I think I’ve ever been. This isn’t due to a fad diet or cutting anything at all (other than Greggs) out. I make better choices but mainly, I just row. Thats it. I row as much as I can and drink a lot of water. I eat like a pig and drink like a fish but I never miss a training row. If I miss it on the day I’ll do extra the day after. Sometimes to my peril admittedly… Special thanks to anyone thats put up with me in the last year in any form. Especially the small crew of Train Indoor Rowers that have let me flail and scream and cry around @trainmanchester since February. Skies the limit. ✊️ #almostgotabs #erglife #concept2 #trainirc (at Train Manchester)

2k time trial 2 from this morning. I realise that rowing pictures unless you're a rower (and even then) are a bit dry. This said I've trained for 10 weeks for this 2k and it paid off hugely. I've got a 9.5 second pb and a time I feel is quite respectable. It did really hurt though. Massive support throughout the whole program from @foster9502 and all of the train indoor rowers. Now I'm off for a celebratory beverage. #teamtrain #paincave @trainmanchester @concept2uk #sub7 #erglife #indoorrowing @crossfitrowing (at Train Heald Green)

This boring picture of a screen signifies a massive change in my life. I’ve trained for 8 weeks, lost 10kg in weight, changed my mindset and whole lifestyle. Rowing has been a massive focus within all of that, helped by my amazing team @trainmanchester and Matt Foster leading the charge with his amazing programming. I started the year with a 7:33.2 2k and all I’ve aimed at is sub 7. This was a big ask as I rowed like one of Jim Henson’s Muppets at the start of the year. Today didn’t go 100% as planned but I clung on and got the sub 7… Just! Now to beat the hell out of my 5k! :) #fozzwod #happysaturday @crossfitrowing #hellonerg #erglife #erg #rowing #indoorrowing 🚣🚣🚣
