A Day In The Life Of: Aaron Balboa



Still in preparation for the big day and oh boy do I feel it getting closer; putting that work in as I prepare for a 5km obstacle course in April with some of my mates.

Running and any other form of exercise is great in helping to build character and discipline in life so I recommend everyone take up some for of training.

Running in London, Running in the Park, keeping fit, staying fit, preparing for summer... nothing better than how great you feel afterwards and think of how shredded I MIGHT be by the time summer comes around. That alone is enough to have me going back out for another run.... ha ha ha ha; the vanity is real out here.


Check out the latest stage in my preparation for the course:


As usual, do leave me your feedback and or any words of encourage.

Rough Runner Training



It has begun...

So some of my mates have decided it would be a brilliant idea to sign us up for an obstacle course; 5km challenge.

 


RoughRunner.com

Anyway, I am not one to flake on a challenge so I accepted 😊 and now have started the gruelling training regime.

I go running twice a week, on my lunch break with work colleagues. About 4.4km running and then stopping in one of the parks and doing some core (abs and "ting") workout each day.

In the beginning it was so hard... I felt like death itself (not exaggerating obviously 🙈) but now I feel great. I was always keen on working both my body and mind but this year was not great for me and I let things get to me.

I feel a different man again and now on a fitness journey.

These are some of the results from a training session. I am improving with every run:





My diet has also been cleaned up a tad bit though not completely. (Hey, don't judge 😂).

Here are some of the things I've been eating; beetroot, spinach, eggs, etc:



Also, see my previous post for other foods I've been eating 😋😋: View Post

I'll definitely be going hard and posting more fitness related stuff.

Check out the video of my preparation:

I love great, delicious food



I am feeling so hungry just looking at the pics 😯😢.

Food is such an intimate thing for everyone and I have been very intimate this year (stayed focused now).

I have to confess that I am one of those weird people who love taking pics of their food before they eat... even when starving.

The following are some pics I have taken of some of the most delicious foods I have eaten this year thus far and YES, I cooked one or two of them myself (hey, trumpets were made to be blown).

Do you like and what delicious foods have you had lately?


Lobster, pasta, etc:

Avocado, poached egg, etc:

Chicken + vegetable soup:

Chicken teriyaki, rice, etc:

Lasagne, tomato sauce, etc:

Pork, "cheesy thingy", etc:

Shepherd's pie:

Chicken, rice, lentils, etc:


😉 CHEERS 😊

London to Carriacou - The Complete 3 Part Series



I recently travelled to Carriacou (a luscious and beautiful island just off of Grenada in the Caribbean), the land where I grew up, and had such an amazing time seeing family and friends.
Spent some time on the beaches and enjoyed the warm sunshine as well as the delicious, organic foods and fruits on offer.

I have documented some of the trip in video format so in these 3 episodes I will be showing my journey from London to Carriacou via Trinidad.

Watch the videos and as usual, hope you enjoy and do feel free to leave comments. Also, please check out my YouTube channel and SUBSCRIBE for notifications on the next video. I will be posting content every week or so on different, interesting topics.
