Have a look at what these people achieved with our support & revealed about their transformation
There is a great quote by author Steven Pressfield. He states - Nobody says, “I’m never going to write my symphony, they say I’ll write it tomorrow!”
The right time for change is now. In fact, it has always been like this. And that’s an unbending universal law. It’s just that we all have the tendency to painfully delay our own success by avoiding the very thing that we need to succeed in that moment.
It’s time to demand the very best for yourself.
Here goes my attempt at pouring out some thoughts on my journey and recommitment. Working on my fourth week back at it. My start in October of ‘20 got interrupted by a nagging injury, complacency and excuses. I don’t see that as an issue though. Failure is not a destination but damn sure part of any journey. I’ve never measured myself by my failures but instead judge myself by my commitment to learn from them and move on to success. I’ve fully embraced the program on this trip , not trying to get to the next phase until my coach says I am ready, not trying to be overly critical of setbacks or overly excited for wins. Just taking progress as it comes , staying the course, enjoying the journey......... enjoying MY journey, being present for my family, focused on long term health and mental goals. In three weeks I am down 6-7 pounds but its more than that..... much more. I have energy all day, mentally I am more focused, I see the gains, i see the losses, I am sleeping more sound, I am more peaceful with my day and much less triggered socially and I have embraced a routine of self care. I attribute a great deal to my two “Matts” on my side.
Matt got me started and I fell off then he teamed me up with Matt who properly kicked my ass into gear and held me accountable. For that I am truly thankful. “Chinny” has become more than a coach. Its a call I look forward to, a text I look for and sometimes a reminder when motivation lacks. He’s become a true freind. I hope if you’ve gotten to this part of my shitty novel you’ve gained something from it because I’ve sure as shit run on about myself. In short, Primal is more than a program and much like a home..... band of brothers.......or as they say “A Tribe”. Cheers to everyone’s journey and god speed in your own individual directions.

MANS BEST FRIEND- dogs are awesome creatures and always there to please. Mostly without thought of themselves. They came with me not because I asked but because I opened the door to go outside. No “where do you want to eat drama” or “ when are we leaving scenario” just ready to go with me. Sometimes we miss the reason we do this…… At first glance seems I am having my ass ( arse for the UK) handed to me from a chubby little French Bulldog.
Truth is it’s the first 200M and she’s gone out too hard. She’s run with me for months now and does this every time……. Without change. She’s not dumb at all but doing what she thinks is best or wanted from her. We are no different. We fail, learn that failure is expected and also a point from which to start to win at life but all to often continue down the same path. This is where PRIMAL fits into our lives. Enlist a coach, succumb to a new path, train new habits and burn a new trail for life. Life is unknown journeys strung together as we navigate best we can. If it were any different it would be called “ A Map”. We don’t know where obstacles lie in wait.
We only see the beginning and end points of a journey. A PRIMAL coach can help you navigate, tailor a program and kick you gently in the “arse” when needed ( insert coach here. Let use Matt Chinn for example) and get you back to work. We all lose our way and that doesn’t mean you’ve quit or regressed.
In my case, when I lose my way, I disconnect from all external contacts. Being a loner is easy ………. Also dangerous. You begin to think like you’re on an island or the world has a conspiracy against you and your day. These are incorrect conclusions and lead to more inward thinking. Endorphins for me are more than a body’s response to exercise. Endorphins bring clarity of mind, a sense of relief, and a channel for thoughts. MAF running has been a Godsend. Great for a workout, fit into PRIMAL training and allows me to not be so oxygen-deprived and have great moments to clear my mind of daily bullshit. [Matt] Chinny showed me the way of MAF training and I slowly succumbed to the benefit. Mans best friend is there for more than just a run. Hope this helps someone in need today.
