>> GOOD VIEWERS, I HAVE FANTASTIC NEWS FOR YOU ALL TODAY!

I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT AFTER TWO ODD YEARS OF TERRIBLE WORK, I AM FINALLY BACK TO MY PRE-PANDEMIC WEIGHT.

NOW, IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS AND THINKING, "HE'S NOT IN GREAT SHAPE," LET ME JUST SAY THAT, FIRSTLY, YOU'RE NO PRIZE YOURSELF, AND, SECONDLY, MY APPEARANCE ISN'T SOMETHING I STRESS ABOUT AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ABLE TO LOSE THE WEIGHT.

FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, LIKE A LOT OF YOU, I WAS FORCED INSIDE, ATE A LOT AND REFUSED TO MOVE.

AND WHILE I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I GAINED, I WILL TELL YOU THAT AS AN AVID BAKER, I BAKE ABOUT THREE CAKES A MONTH.

SO MAYBE I'M NOT LOOKING SO BAD AFTER ALL.

TWO YEARS OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, I WAS FEELING OUT OF SORTS AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO EXERCISE SO I ASKED A TRAINER I KNEW AND HE GAVE ME THE BEST I EVER HEARD.

"JUST DO IT BADLY."

IF YOU'RE EVER GOING TO DO SOMETHING NEW, DON'T TRY TO BREAK SOME RECORD OR ACHIEVE GOLD.

YOU'RE NOT MICHAEL PHELPS, YOU'RE YOU, AND YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE IT A GO AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL.

DON'T RUN 10 MILES, RUN A MILE AND SEE WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

DON'T DO 20 PULL-UPS, TRY 5 AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I'M SURE THAT SEEMS LAZY BUT OFTEN THE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO DOING ANYTHING IS SIMPLY THE PRESSURE TO DO IT PERFECTLY.

SURE, PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T DIAMONDS.

IF WE WERE, GAINING WEIGHT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY.

I KNOW DEDICATING MYSELF TO A STRICT REGIMEN WOULD HAVE GIVEN BETTER RESULTS SOONER BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER, SO STICKING TO A REGIMEN ISN'T SOMETHING I'M GOOD AT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOOD AT?

SHOWING UP.

WHEN IT COMES TO EXERCISE, I DO IT BADLY, BECAUSE THAT'S MORE REALISTIC THAN DOING IT PERFECTLY.

AND YOU WANNA KNOW A LITTLE SECRET?

IF YOU DO SOMETHING BADLY 100 TIMES, BY THE 101ST TIME, YOU'RE ACTUALLY OKAY AT IT.

SO IF YOU'RE THINKING OF EXERCISING, OR DOING ANYTHING NEW FOR THAT MATTER, JUST DO IT BADLY.

BECAUSE BEING THE PERSON YOU WANNA BE ISN'T A COMPETITION, IT'S A LIFE.
