16KG DOWN - I NEVER IMAGINED POSTING THIS!

Why? ⁣
⁣
Not because I didn’t think Leon 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 do it⁣
⁣
I just never thought he 𝗪𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 do it⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨, 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞… ⁣
⁣
A few years ago, in what seems like a different life, Leon was my boss…⁣
⁣
The thing about Leon, he is the hardest working man I’ve ever met⁣
⁣
Bar none…⁣
⁣
Working until 2-3am? No issues… ⁣
⁣
And whilst I admired and respected him, ⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐡𝐢𝐦⁣
⁣
Although an amazing dad and partner, and great ‘𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵’ leader, ⁣
⁣
His physical health just wasn’t a priority⁣
⁣
He used to laugh when I talked about gym and eating healthier ⁣
⁣
But my suspicion was that this was because he, like most men⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞⁣
⁣
If anyone had a legit ‘no time’ excuse, it was Leon. ⁣
⁣
Yet, it’s funny how certain life events reshape our perspective. ⁣

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐋𝐁 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐱-𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭⁣
⁣
He parked his ego and completely trusted our process⁣
⁣
He made a genuine commitment to his health⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐍 ⁣
⁣
And made his health an EQUAL priority ⁣
⁣
From a guy that was ‘𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳’⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐨 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭:⁣
⁣
Is 16kg down and 19cm less around the belly⁣
⁣
Has completed a proper adventure race event⁣
⁣
Can enjoy a curry or a beer without it becoming a bender⁣
⁣
Has become a genuinely ‘healthy man’⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 ‘𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞’⁣
⁣
A dad that can keep up with his young family⁣
⁣
And a man that no longer chooses EITHER career or health⁣
⁣
𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐁 – 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆! ⁣
⁣
I think this may just inspire a few more ‘no timers’ to get started⁣
