So okay guys, I've noticed some things seeing the pictures from Magiccon last month in Germany. As you may know, Dean O'Gorman attended it and I recognized that he had a familiar look to someone,... actually to Aidan Turner. Yup... I mean look at the beard, they share the same beard! And look at the man bun! Kay, and for one moment I even thought that it was Aidan on a picture when it actually was Dean. Crazy world, I'm not okay. I don't know what to think about this... But what I know is that Aidan wore this look long before Dean. And as we all know Aidan has slightly more fangirls and is like... the more hunky guy of the two. Okay, tbh, he's the hot one (you can hate on me tho I'm sure nobody will ever read this except my best friend) So here comes my theory: Dean copied Aidan's look to attract all the crazy and cute fangirl fellows at MagicCon because he knew they would love this more rugged and soft honey bear look. But Aidan wore it better. Definitely. #teamAidan I mean look, they could be twins!... In another universe perhaps... But still, I think that the look of the hair and the beard is suspicious... Very suspicious

Small victories of the week: So, st the beginning of this year, inspired by an idea my bestie had last year to give us a more positive outlook, I decided this year that every week, I would find one small victory for the week - no matter how small. I've posted some on here, I've told people about some, and I've kept some to myself, but every day there has been one. These are this week's three: 1 - I got my Red belt! This is only the first step on a long road to the Black belt, but it is a step, and everything after the first one is just repetition of a process, right? Plus, as I loosen up and get more flexible, I'm able to put more and more effort in each week - which is ace! 2 - After one set being far too easy so we raised the weight, for my last set of exercises today during my session with Terry, I asked for the weight to be raised again, because I was confident that I could do more! And THEN, not only did I smash the last set out... I did one more set afterwards... with 5 extra reps... at the higher weight... 💪🏼 3 - You may have seen before that I time my journey home from PT sessions in order to see my progress. Before I set off this afternoon, filled with confidence from 2, I said "I'm gonna smash my time today". I meant 60-90 seconds, not 6 MINUTES! Also, during a set of chest presses with more weight than I've done before, I realised something. While for one week, something might be a small victory - if you do it for 4 weeks in a row, it becomes a decent victory. Make it to 13 for a quarter, you're on a big victory. I'm on 39. 9 months. WHAT A FUCKING ACHIEVEMENT! I'm bloody well proud of myself. Thank you for the love and support - I love you all. #teamAidan #tryingtobelessofafatlump #weightloss #smashingit #makeAidangreatagain https://www.instagram.com/p/B246M8bhveg/?igshid=1dmmg1t09d98z

Something for me to think about, I think. I've been feeling dead down about myself the last couple of weeks, and I think it's because I've put some hard focus onto reaching a certain point by a certain time, instead of enjoying the positive progress and the journey. Its left me feeling like I'm wasting a lot of positive energy and happiness that I'm given by a bunch of great people around me - and that I might just never be good enough. I thought I was long past being fat this way - but apparently I might never be. Anyhow, I dont know why I'm rambling, but I hope I feel better soon. I adore you all. #tryingtobelessofafatlump #teamAidan #makeAidangreatagain #weightloss #drained #demotivated https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mwjBygJb1/?igshid=nd8cvg153fsx

125 days left this year. Committed to killing it on every single FUCKING one of them. Going to out 2019 away. #motivation #teamAidan #tryingtobelessofafatlump #weightloss #fitness #life #quotes #effort https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uhxK1hK5b/?igshid=189txlny9u3cr

When you've been feeling pretty low for a couple of weeks and need to feel better, a couple of lots of training within 18 hours of each other helps a lot. What's more risky is doing your monthly weigh-in. But I promised myself, so I did it. Now I'm on top of the world. 4 stone. 4 FUCKING stone. And my 7th consecutive month of losses. I WILL be less of a fat lump! #weightloss #makeAidangreatagain #teamAidan #tryingtobelessofafatlump https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mNz9sB-Zb/?igshid=11ap9huf51pnk

This is a bit of a strange post today, and I don't know if this is reflecting how I've felt about myself this month, or just in general - but here goes. It's a #weightloss post, it's a #makeAidangreatagain post and I told myself I'd only do one for each stone... this is my 2nd one. But it's not an entirely positive one - because my brain isn't entirely positive about this. So I'm hoping this can be a big "fuck you" to my brain. This is my journey so far - and how I've felt each month about it. I'm facing my negativity. And hoping that by showing that we all feel like this and can take a stand against it that I can motivate people to fight back against the negativity in their own goals. Because even though I'm not always happy with how things are going, and I can be overly negative about myself - I'm starting not to always just see a fat lump in the mirror. I can see some changes when I look at myself. I'm 2 and a half FUCKING stone lighter than I was 4 months ago. And I'm one-third of the way to making an "impossible" joke my achievement in 2019. And you know what? There's a part of my brain that's proud of that. So what I want you to do, friend, colleague, acquaintance, stranger - whoever you are - is to remember that no matter how impossible you think something is and no matter how difficult the road may get, if you stay focused, forgive yourself for not being perfect (no-one is), and never, EVER give up you'll get there. And I'll be crossing your finish line alongside you - giving whatever support you need - with a big smile, a huge hug and a congratulations. Because no matter where you are in whatever journey you're on, I love you, I'm proud of you, and I know you can do it. Thankyou to everyone who supports and inspires me (I think once or twice we've been #teamAidan), and for EVERYONE who has, does, or will spend your time being my friend. I love you all. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5mITKDVEo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=47vfkr9in3vp
