* I used to think the only way to shift fat was to ‘clean eat’
* That it was all about ‘The Grind’ & sleep & rest was for ‘pussies’
* That I’d be a professional footballer scoring goals on TV
* That EVERYBODY needed to squat & deadlift
* That you could eat as many nuts as you want as they are ‘good fats’
* That I would be able to drink & party like I was 21 forever
* That fat made you fat
* That I wanted to be a Strength & Conditioning Coach to Olympic champions
* That it really mattered what time you ate your meals
* That you had to train like an athlete to look like one
* & that you had to eat like a ‘bodybuilder’ (bland chicken, broccoli & rice 6 x a day) to look lean & muscular
* That my ex girlfriend kept her knickers on when she wasn’t with me
* That fasted cardio was huge for fat loss
* That eating smaller & more frequent meals speeded up your metabolism
* & that I can be the black Peter Pan forever
Apart from the last point which I’m hoping I can still do all the others I was wrong about
But you know what
It’s ok to make some mistakes along the way
Us guys are supposed to be all macho & sh*t
& of course know everything but damn thats nearly impossible
We make mistakes
We f*ck up
We get things wrong
I could have reeled of another 50 things here I’ve f*cked up in my time
The thing is none of that really matters now
All that matters is what I do going forward
I won’t change the f*ck ups
So I’ll concentrate on the future
& if you’ve made some mistakes (have you made any on the list?)
I suggest you do the same
Unless you keep looking back & stay exactly where you are?
