So… I’ve been a bit quiet on here since Ben Nevis. Truth is, there hasn’t been loads of running, the gym has pretty much been abandoned, and the diet has been… well… questionable at best. 😂 Mentally I’ve actually been alright. Maybe a wee bit flat at times, a bit tired, and I’ve missed a few of my tablets here and there — but overall I’m doing okay. Life’s just been busy. And instead of running miles, I’ve somehow decided that completely renovating The Store was a sensible way to spend my spare time. 😂🔨 But behind all that, the haemochromatosis treatment is still ticking away. I’ve just been back to see the vampires for venesection number 4. 🩸🧛‍♂️ My ferritin was around 412, and when it was checked on the 2nd of August it was down to 266. That’s progress. 💪🏻 And today I’ve booked the next three venesections, so we just keep chipping away at it. I’m not going to pretend the fitness and diet haven't slipped, because they have. But sometimes progress isn't PBs, weight loss or smashing workouts. Sometimes it’s getting the treatment done, keeping yourself occupied, looking after your head and just continuing to move forward. The running shoes will come back out. The gym will still be there. The diet can be sorted. For now... Venesection #4 ✅ Ferritin heading the right way ✅ Next three booked ✅ The Store slowly taking shape ✅ Still here. Still rebuilding. Brick by brick. 🧱💪🏻 #AverageJay #Haemochromatosis #Rebuild #BrickByBrick

Last week: 0 workouts. This week: 2. 💪🏻🧱 No massive comeback. No destroying myself in the gym. Just getting back into a routine I can actually stick to. 27 mins. 14 sets. Proper food. Done. ✅ And most importantly… chair dips are still in the fucking bin. 🪑🗑️🤣 Train. Eat. Horror. Rest. Repeat. 🐝🪞 Brick by brick. 🌱 #AverageJay #BrickByBrick #Rebuild #FitnessJourney #Consistency
